The O9iTxTest reports the performance metrics related to the transactions of an Oracle application server instance. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the O9iTxTest.

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

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

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

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to "xyz" and $port will be changed to "80" when configuring a test.

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.
