Instrumenting, Analysing, & Tuning the Performance of Oracle ADF Applications
Last week I presented at the UKOUG’14 conference on instrumenting, analyzing, & tuning the performance of Oracle ADF applications. Instrumentation refers to an ability to monitor or measure the level of a product’s performance, to diagnose errors and to write trace information. Instrumenting gives visibility and insight of what is happening inside the […]
Oracle InMemory compared to indexing
In August 2014 Oracle released its RDBM 12.1.0.2 with a potentially useful and exiting new option: Database InMemory. Upon reading about it it became clear to me that this is a powerful option, worth examining deeper. This blog will briefly describe what InMemory is and what it isn’t. The emphasis […]
ADF Performance Monitor: Measuring Slow Network Time
Recently I was implementing the ADF Performance Monitor at a customer site and doing a detailed performance analysis. This customer had severe (and less severe) performance problems but was unable to pinpoint the exact pain points. Frequently, end-users were complaining because they were experiencing first a very good performance (response times […]
Part 2 – Notes from Finland – impressions from the second day of OUGF 2014 Harmony Conference
After a great party with the Oracle house band doing a veritable “The Commitments”-style performance and some excellent food under a largely clear and sunny Finnish Summer sky and wild night in the woods (with the mosquitoes having their own little party), day two of OUGF 2014 Harmony is under […]
Troubleshooting ADF ViewObject Range Paging Issues
ADF BC ViewObjects provide a very valuable mechanism to page through large data sets so that a user can navigate to a specific page in the results. Range Paging fetches and caches only the current page of rows in the ViewObject row cache (at the cost of another query execution) […]
ADF Runtime Diagnostics: Instrumenting your ADF Application – Part 2
In a series of blog articles I show how you can instrument your ADF Application key actions. Instrumenting gives visibility and insight of what is happening inside the ADF application and in the ADF framework (what methods and queries are executed, when and how often). These runtime diagnostics can be very effective in […]
ADF Runtime Diagnostics: Instrumenting your ADF Application – Part 1
In a series of blog articles I will show how you can instrument your ADF Application key actions. Instrumenting gives visibility and insight of what is happening inside the ADF application and in the ADF framework (what methods and queries are executed, when and how often). These runtime diagnostics can be very effective […]
ADF Performance Tuning: Tips on How to Limit ADF BC Memory Consumption
This blog contains tips and tricks on to how limit the JVM memory consumption of ADF applications. Like other web applications, Oracle ADF applications potentially use a lot of JVM memory. Many times, the root cause of a high memory usage is that application data retrieved from the database into memory […]
ADF Performance Monitor: Customer Case Video
The ADF Performance Monitor is designed for measuring, analyzing, tuning, and checking the performance of Oracle ADF applications. The monitor can track and collect crucial (production) performance information of the application’s runtime ADF components that are not standard provided by Oracle. It helps development, QA, and operation teams to detect, […]
ADF Performance Monitor: Detecting and Analyzing a High ADF BC Memory Consumption
Like other web applications, Oracle ADF applications potentially use a lot of JVM memory. Many times, the root cause of a high memory usage is that application data retrieved from the database into memory is not properly limited; hundreds or thousands of rows (with too many attributes) are fetched and […]
ADF performance tuning: Whitepaper published on the ADF Performance Monitor
The AMIS ADF Performance Monitor is an advanced tool designed for measuring, analyzing, improving, and checking the performance of Oracle ADF applications. The monitor can track and collect crucial (production) performance information of the application’s runtime ADF components that are not standard provided by Oracle. It helps development, QA, and […]
ADF Performance Tuning: Improve Your Oracle ADF App Response Time by as Much as 70 Percent
Performance needs to be ingrained in your application – it cannot be added in during the last stages of development. In this video I discuss how you can optimize the performance of your Oracle ADF Fusion application, diagnose and solve typical performance problems, and build an efficient, responsive, scalable ADF […]
ADF performance tuning: Overview Video published on the ADF Performance Monitor
A good performance is the key to the success of a web application. Oracle ADF applications are no exception to this rule. ADF performance tuning can be time intensive, costly and quite a challenge when performance issues require developers to delve deep into the inner workings of the ADF framework. […]

JavaOne 2013: Java Mission Control
The convergence project between Oracle’s JVMs JRockit and Hotspot is making significant progress. Included in the latest Java 7 JDK update (‘7u40’) is a new powerful monitor tool: Java Mission Control (JMC). JMC is a production time tool that has its roots in the JRockit JVM tooling. It is located in the […]
The ultimate ADF event of 2012: The AMIS Master Class Advanced ADF – Christmas Special (Friday 21st of December)
If you are an ADF developer – and The Netherlands are within reach for you – then Friday 21st of December is a day to mark in your diary. On that day, the shortest of the year in our Northern Hemisphere, we present the Advanced ADF Master Class – in […]
JavaOne 2012: Thinking Through Java Enterprise Performance (BOF 4712)
Performance of Enterprise Java Applications is a requirement and usually a challenge. Business requirements on systems can be stiff, successful systems can easily be overloaded and complex application architectures can add a burden too. Improving performance by tuning the application after it has been built seldomly renders huge improvements. By […]
Bloom Filters, Hierarchical Profiling, Synopses & One pass distinct sampling, jumping the GAPP … – feast for DBAs (considered harmful..)
It’s Monday night and a select company of DBAs and Database developers have gathered at AMIS HQ in Nieuwegein for the ‘Looking Back at Hotsos 2009’ session. It is one of those sessions that has a lot of energy, laughter and a wealth of serious content. Four very experienced […]
Oracle Data Mining meets performance method "GAPP"
Sunday 21 September 2008 at Oracle Open World, I had the opportunity to present my method “GAPP” once more (HOTSOS 2008 and Planboard may 2008). This time I also mentioned how the method can be used with Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). For people not knowing what “GAPP” is all about […]
