Diagnostic Framework
With prior versions of Oracle ERP applications, issue resolution required several
back-and-forth interactions with Oracle Support. Once an issue was logged, the sup-
port team would request additional logfiles. Based on the analysis of those logfiles,
there would be diagnostic steps that would be performed. This would result in addi-
tional files being sent back and forth. The whole process was effort intensive and time
consuming. Oracle introduced the Oracle Fusion Diagnostic Framework to make is-
sue resolution much more efficient. Using this framework, all information related to an
incident is collected and can be sent to Oracle Support for review. Any and all inform-
ation required to debug this issue is collected by the diagnostic framework.
Oracle Fusion Applications utilizes
Watches and Notification
components that are
part of the WebLogic Diagnostic Framework. This framework comes with predefined
system diagnostic modules. It also provides the ability to create custom diagnostic
components. The foundational components of the diagnostic framework are as fol-
lows:
•
Harvester
: This component captures metrics from runtime MBeans and
provides a historical record of the metrics
•
Instrumentation
: This component provides a way to embed diagnostic code
at defined points inside the application code or server instances
•
Watches and Notification
: This component enables alerts for a particular
state of the server based on defined rules (these are called watches) and
automates the dispatch of notifications
Predefined watch rule
As a part of the installation process, the standard diagnostic module called Module-
FMWDFW is created. It has the following watch rules:
