Switching Off Authentication and Authorization

Performance Monitoring 11-7 ■ Gross Throughput reqsec: The average rate of requests finishing during the current logging interval, in requests per second. The formula is: RequestsFinished SnapshotPeriod 1000 ■ Net Throughput reqsec: The average rate of requests finishing during the current logging interval, excluding requests that timed out. The formula is: RequestsFinished - Timeouts SnapshotPeriod 1000 ■ Utilization : The percentage of the servers capacity utilized during the current logging interval. The formula is: RunTimeAverage RequestsFinished MaxAllowableRunningRequests SnapshotPeriod 100 This value can be briefly larger than 100 when requests are finishing that started running in previous logging intervals.

11.5 Switching Off Authentication and Authorization

By default, Oracle RTD has authentication and authorization switched on. In order to improve performance in Decision Server, you can switch off authorization and authentication. For Oracle RTD Decision Server authorization to be switched off, perform the following steps: 1. Log in to Fusion Middleware Control, as described in Section 2.1.1, Logging into Fusion Middleware Control. 2. In the Target Navigation Pane, under Application Deployments, right-click the OracleRTD server entry, then select System MBean Browser. 3. In the System MBean Browser, scroll down to the Application Defined MBeans, select OracleRTD and then the server name where Oracle RTD is deployed. 4. Select SDClusterPropertyManager, then Cluster. 5. Set RequireIntegrationPointAuthorization to false. You can switch off Decision Server authentication on a web service.

Backup and recovery for Oracle Real-Time Decisions is fully described in the Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide. For more information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide. 12-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Real-Time Decisions 13 Managing Oracle Real-Time Decisions 13-1 13 Managing Oracle Real-Time Decisions Oracle RTD uses the J2EE industry standard Java Management Extensions JMX to configure and monitor the operation of Oracle RTD. Oracle RTD systems deployed into WebLogic are managed using the Fusion Middleware Control MBean Browsers in Enterprise Manager. JMX MBeans manage various aspects of Oracle RTD, including logging and Inline Service configuration. They can also be used to assign Oracle RTD specific permissions to security roles and users. Security roles and users are both managed by the J2EE container. Oracle RTD is comprised of three Services: ■ Decision Center Service: Supports the deployment of Inline Services by Decision Studio. It also provides a web interface, Decision Center, for displaying the structure and decisioning history of Inline Services. ■ Decision Service: Runs Inline Services and integrates to enterprise operational processes. ■ Learning Service: Maintains analytic, self-learning models that underlie Inline Services. Deployments of Oracle RTD are often done across multiple servers as well as in clusters to enhance performance in high transaction environments. A relational database is used by each of these Services for retention of code, transactional data and configurations. This chapter contains the following topics: ■ Section 13.1, Accessing the Oracle Real-Time Decisions MBeans Note: Some of the management properties can also be set as system properties. For details, see Section 13.9, System Properties. Note: This chapter deals mainly with the management of Oracle RTD through JMX MBeans in Enterprise Manager. Administrators can also perform certain Inline Service related administrative tasks using web service calls in their own application utilities.
