Overview

Starting with Tools Release 9.2.9, you can access Performance Workbench directly from the Server Manager interface.

You can use Performance Workbench for:

  • Performance analysis.
  • Debugging.
  • Performance analysis of EnterpriseOne applications.
  • Understanding complex EnterpriseOne processes such as UBEs.
  • Troubleshooting issues such as memory leaks.

Note: The concepts and implementation of the concepts of performance analysis are beyond the scope of this document.

The Performance Workbench is run against a jdedebug.log file or directly against a BSFN for a specific analysis.

The jdedebug.log contains large amounts of useful data, especially regarding BSFNs, including the following details:

  • Call Originator
  • Call Location
  • Return Values
  • Call Stack Depths and Threads
  • SQL Statements
  • System APIs (JDB Middleware APIs and JDE Cache APIs)
  • Time Stamps
  • Miscellaneous Data

The size of debug log files can range from hundreds of megabytes to several gigabytes. The size of these files can make them impossible to edit or manipulate manually. The jdedebug.log data is far more valuable if it can be aggregated and summarized statistically in a more concise and comprehensible format.

Performance Workbench assists you in parsing and narrowing down the log file content to present information in a format that is easy to interpret. Instead of downloading log files to a Microsoft Windows workstation for analysis, the Performance Workbench enables you to create summary log files directly through the Server Manager Console. You can access the summarized (parsed) results of the Performance Workbench utilities from the Server Manager Console and download them to a local workstation for further evaluation.
