About Report Manager

Today more than ever, the success of your company depends on the delivery of information, on time, on reliability, and on reasonable cost. Information is a bottom-line issue, affecting both overall revenue and costs. A performance slowdown, that is, the inability to deliver information on time, is likely to expose you to serious business risks.

      How Report Manager works

      Report Manager collects and organizes historical information to focus the IT team onto infrastructure hot spots. Report Manager is your performance surge protection against dangerous resource consumption trends. You can use Report Manager to compare period-to-period performance versus a baseline and identify response time problems at-a-glance, before they affect your system performance.

      What you can do with Report Manager

      Report Manager is a reporting tool that queries the Performance Management Database and displays the results in reports that are generated on a scheduled basis or on demand.

      The reports are designed to help you:•    Identify

      • Identify problematic conditions that may have an impact on performance before they become performance problems.

      ...

      • Track long-term performance, volume trends and patterns, and then plan for future growth accordingly - capacity planning.

      ...

      • View availability problems over long periods of time at different levels.

      ...

      • Compare the performance of similar systems, such as different Oracle instances and server machines.

      ...

      • Correlate between performance metrics of different products, such as between the number of EJB executions and the Lock Wait Time of an Oracle Program.

      ...

      • Generate customized reports according to your demands, without the need to understand the physical structure of the Performance Management Database.
