ERP Extensions

In systems where ERP applications use Oracle instances as their database, Performance Analysis enables domain specification relevant to them. Performance Analysis customizes itself to reflect the domain-specific settings present in the system. Presently, Performance Analysis supports PeopleSoft and Oracle Applications.

ERP application identification occurs only at the time of StealthCollect installation. 

Because most application servers facilitate pooling mechanisms, the basic Oracle dimensions lose their descriptive relevance as all connections opened within the connection pool are created using the same operating system user, database user, program and host. Thus, you can use the added ERP-specific dimensions to investigate the data using the ERP characteristics rather than the underlying Oracle dimensions.

Note: In clustered application servers, the Oracle Client Machine dimension can be used to identify the cluster member.

When connecting with Performance Analysis to an ERP database, the dimension list is extended to include the supported ERP systems. Standard application features and flow are then available for the ERP dimensions.
