The O9iDriverTest reports the performance metrics related to the JDBC connection in an Oracle application server instance.  

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• In the PORT text box, it is recommended that you provide the port at which the OPMN (Oracle Process Manager and Notification) process of the Oracle application server instance listens. To know at which port OPMN listens, click on the Ports tab in the following URL: http://<oraHttpServerIP>:<OraHttpServerport>. This tab lists the port numbers that were assigned to the services executing on the Oracle application server. The port number displayed against the Oracle notification server request port entry is the OPMN port, and the same should be specified in the PORT text box.

• In the HOMEDIR text box, specify the directory in which the Oracle application server has been installed.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.

Note:

• To effectively monitor an Oracle application server on Unix, ensure that the install user of the application server and that of the eG agent (which is monitoring the application server) are the same.

• Any component on an Oracle 9i Application server (be it OC4J or the Oracle HTTP server) can be monitored by eG only if the Oracle 9i Application Server Release 2.0 is installed, with dmctl and dmstool.
