Measures reported by F9iResponseTest

This test measures the responsiveness of the Oracle Forms 9i server to user requests.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Forms_req_rate The number of requests to the Forms server per second Reqs/Sec A high value may indicate that there is a heavy load on the Forms server
Db_req_rate The number of requests to the database server per second Reqs/Sec A high value may indicate that there is a heavy load on the database server
Client_network_resp_time This value includes the client think time and network time. Secs A sudden increase in response time is indicative of a heavy network traffic.
Forms_server_resp_time The average time taken by the Forms server to process requests  Secs A sudden increase in response time is indicative of a potential performance bottleneck on the Forms server.
Db_resp_time The average time taken by the database for handling Forms requests Secs A sudden increase in response time is indicative of a potential performance bottleneck on the database server. By comparing the Forms server response time with the database response time, the administrator can determine which tier of the infrastructure - i.e., Forms server or database, is the bottleneck.
 

Note:

Before attempting to monitor a Forms server, ensure that its tracing capability is enabled. To know how to enabling tracing for a Forms server, refer to the section on "Configuring Oracle Forms Servers" in the eG Installation Guide.
