I've completed my first week as a Hotsos employee. The first week has been an exciting and rewarding experience. Most of my time has been spent learning the HAWCS tool. This tool provides some really powerful monitoring of the overall performance of an E-Business Suite instance.
HAWCS will identify where most of your database activity occurs and what dates/times are the most active. That information is a critical starting point to managing the performance of the E-Business Suite. Over the coming weeks I will be spending a lot more time with this product.
I've been most impressed with the options with monitoring Concurrent Manager processes. For most EBS shops the Concurrent Manager is the primary consumer of resources. Being able to quickly identify potential issues with the Managers is a must for Applications DBAs. From what I've seen so far, the HAWCS tool certainly delivers.
I have also done some work troubleshooting a VM Template install of E-Business Suite. These VM templates are a great way to quickly get a sandbox or small test instance up and running. I still wouldn't recommend doing any serious development/testing from the templates and certainly not running a production instance. In any case, they are a good place to start working with EBS.
