“The ADF Performance Monitor is used for many LIVE customers in production. This makes it much more convenient to focus on the real problems and clearly report to the customer why we focus on certain matters, and why we give other things a lower priority. To express this in time/money is quite difficult, but you can safely say that you can win a lot of time in the following areas:

• 50-60% time savings for researching performance-related issues. Because developers really get a very low-level insight into the framework, it is much easier to tackle performance issues and generate large performance profits with limited actions
• 5-10% time savings by incorporating extra quality checks in development cycle (time gains come from avoiding hotfixes)
• 20-30% time saving when selecting errors reported by customers
• Great time gain during steering committees to keep the subjectivity out of the discussions so that there can be focused on the actions that really matter to end users.”

Architect

• United States
• 10.000+ end-users
• 50+ developers
• Systems: Extensions of the Oracle E-Business suite – build in Oracle ADF
• Large ADF applications; 750+ ViewObjects, 25 Root ApplicationModules

“We needed to troubleshoot many ADF performance problems. After a long selection period we chose the ADF Performance Monitor – because it fits our needs the best. We use it every day for all our ADF applications to monitor the performance in production. We have solved many issues related to the ADF code, slow queries, and even slow network. We like the detailed metrics of the ADF Performance Monitor that gives us insight and visibility – and suggestions to solve typical ADF problems.”

Thomas Hannestad – Architect

• Norway
• 5000+ end-users
• 3 developers
• SAAS model, 2 WLS node at customer location in production
• System: Application for highschool students; managing time schedule, grades, absence, place to turn in papers, e.g.
• Large ADF application; 700+ ViewObjects, 7 Root ApplicationModules

“We are very pleased with the ADF Performance Monitor – it has helped us a lot. In production, it helps us to monitor that everything is OK — or that there are problems that we need to address. When we started exploring the ADF Performance Monitor, it revealed many poor running SQL queries. Most of the process time was spent in the database. We either made changes to the queries, or just tuned the view objects, and as a result we had a significant performance improvement. If customers contact us to report performance problems, we start looking in the ADF Performance Monitor to find the root cause. When found, it can be solved! The ADF Performance Monitor makes us more efficient in our work, which benefits both us and our customers.”

Henri Peters – Project Manager Spir-it

• The Netherlands
• 5000+ end-users
• 15+ developers
• 4 WLS nodes in production
• system: The primary information system for the Dutch judiciary is replaced with a new system based on Oracle technology
• Very large ADF application; 1000+ ViewObjects, 15+ ApplicationModules

“The ADF Performance Monitor is for us interesting during application development. But for us it is even more interesting during the implementation/production phase. We use it as a real-time dashboard that shows how much load the application puts on our system. We can even drill down to the level of an individual user. Sometimes we go so far that we proactively approach end-users: before they complain we already have contacted them. For Spir-it is of great value that we can continuously identify the weakest link, even if there is no actual performance problem (yet).”

The AMIS ADF Performance Monitor not only affects systems. Henri Peters: “Users are right when they are concerned with the introduction of new information systems. When we showed the real- time performance dashboard of the monitor, they understood that we cannot always avoid performance problems, but are able to resolve problems quickly when they arise. This has resulted in a lot of support of customers that had to implement the new ADF application.”

Jonas de Graaf – Architect

• The Netherlands
• 350.000+ end-users
• 5 ADF developers
• SAAS model, 10+ WLS node at customer location in production
• System: Student information system for higher education. It is now used on a daily basis by 33 higher education institutions and over 372.000 students.
• Large ADF application; 1000+ ViewObjects, 25+ ApplicationModules

“We use the ADF Performance Monitor intensively at our development environment – in JDevelopers console log – to fix problems already during development. With the ADF Performance Monitor we have detected many slow queries and many multiple redundant ADF ViewObject query executions. We monitor new releases on our pre-production environments to get a feeling of the performance. We monitor our most important customers on production to see if there are problems and to find out if we meet our SLA that we must meet contractually.”

Erwin Vrielink – Software Architect

• Netherlands
• 10000+ end-users
• 15 developers
• SAAS model, 12 WLS node at customer location in production
• System: Application for mental healthcare; managing time schedule, patients, treatments, finance, e.g.
• Very large ADF application; 1000+ ViewObjects, 10 Root ApplicationModules

“We are using the ADF Performance Monitor now for a couple of years and it’s very helpful for us. It’s a very powerful tool to detect and analyse performance problems and it provides detailed information to investigate and solve problems. We use the tool during development to prevent bad performant software. We are also using it in production environments to proactive detect improvements and for zoom into historical data for analyzing a reported problem.”

Emile Bitar – Senior Architect

• Lebanon
• 10.000+ end-users
• 15 developers
• SAAS model, 2 WLS node at 50+ customer locations in production
• System: Application for Banks
• Large ADF application; 1000+ ViewObjects, 15 Root ApplicationModules

“The ADF Performance monitor is an essential tool used in order to enhance performance and detect bottlenecks in our production environments. The way it was designed, it can help you drill down into ADF lifecycle better than any other performance tool that monitors the JVM. Real time report and a microseconds difference is the competence you need. We are generating our own reports for Audit purposes from its schema. The dashboard layout gives you an indicative of the main issues you have.
It is able to monitor every managed server and check for high CPU utilization, low memory, failures and errors. We were able to solve and identify long running queries, processes and even network latency issues. If you develop with ADF then you need ADF Performance Monitor.”

Sudhakar Mani – Architect Cholalabs

• Sultanate of Oman
• 40.000+ end-users
• 10 developers
• 16 WLS nodes at customer location in production
• System: Application for Oman university students; managing classes, examinations, turn in papers, e.g.
• Large ADF application; 1000+ ViewObjects, 10 Root ApplicationModules

“The ADF Performance Monitor is an excellent performance monitor; every ADF project should have it! We implemented an ADF application that serves 40.000 students in Oman – and we did experience quite severe performance problems serving this many end-users at peek times. With the ADF Performance Monitor (and Frank on location) we detected and resolved quite a number of weak spots in our application; memory overconsumption, avoid redundant ViewObject queries, network delay between server and database, JVM issues, slow queries, inefficient ADF parameter values, e.g. The ADF Performance Monitor is an incredible help; I highly recommend it to any ADF project.”
