8.3.1 Application Management Suite for Fusion Applications Support for Real User Experience Insight
Application Management Suite for Fusion Application Real User Monitoring provides an out-of-the-box real-user monitoring solution for Fusion applications that automatically discovers Fusion applications and translates network objects to business functions, thereby allowing measurement and monitoring of real-user transactions — from clicks to views into business transactions.
Each individual user action is automatically matched to the correct screen, applet, or view to provide contextual analyses. This state-of-the-art monitoring solution captures and reports all functional errors, discovers end-user performance issues, and discovers Fusion Application issues. Application managers can set up Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and report views of interest of their critical packaged applications.
All the capabilities for Oracle Real User Experience Insight as documented in Chapter 7, "End User Monitoring" are available as part of the Application Management Suite for Fusion Applications license. However, the restricted license for Real User Experience Insight only allows RUEI to be used for monitoring Fusion Applications. Customers who want to use Real User Experience Insight to monitor other applications need to obtain a full use license of the product.

8.3.2 Application Management Suite for Fusion Applications Support for Business Transaction Monitoring
Business Transaction Monitoring (BTM) allows customers to monitor, troubleshoot, report, and manage mission critical transaction flows for their organization.
Business application owners and operational staff can automatically discover and correlate your SOA composites, components, services, and back-end Java EE implementations through detailed modeling and drill-down directly into the performance metrics at the component level. Business transactions and service dependencies can be automatically discovered and the message flows mapped. Details about individual and aggregate transaction execution can be searched for and displayed.
By providing and maintaining the business context while traversing your organization's application infrastructure, your developers and operational staff can leverage Oracle Enterprise Manager to meet the high availability and top performance criteria necessary to maximize business results.
Oracle Enterprise Manager enables your application development and support teams to:
- Continuously discover components, transaction flow, service dependencies and relationships.
- Monitor business transactions as they flow across tiers.
- Manage Oracle SOA Suite applications with minimal manual effort, regardless of application-specific knowledge or programming expertise.
- View aggregated dependences or drill-down to method-level interactions.
- Monitor endpoint performance with booth synthetic service tests and deep component implementation visibility.
- Search and analyze single instance transaction performance, with built-in report generation for slowest running or faulted instances.
- Link to related diagnostic and database metrics, taking advantage of SOA Suite specific knowledge.
- Quickly isolate and diagnose the root cause of SOA application performance problems in QA, staging, and production environments.
This licensing agreement is a restricted-use license for Business Transaction Monitoring, and only allows BTM to be used for monitoring Fusion Applications. Customers who want to use BTM to monitor other applications need to obtain a full-use license of the product.
