Applicable for: CDI, CAI, Platform Assets
Log Analyzer offers a robust dashboard for comprehensive log analysis across your organization. This feature is essential for monitoring and troubleshooting within various integration processes, helping you maintain operational efficiency and identify issues promptly. You can choose from "DI Agent Tomcat Log", "DI Session Log" or "CAI Log" using a dropdown menu for tailored stats and analytics. The dashboard displays key metrics within a chosen timeframe, including:
- Job status for at-a-glance identification of potential issues.
- Top five error messages to prioritize troubleshooting.
- Maximum resource utilization and CPU utilization of jobs for performance monitoring.
- Joiner /sorter/ rank aggregator summary for the DI transformation details.
Applicable for: CDI, CAI
The CAI Process Analyzer within the Assurance Service analyzes Cloud Application Integration assets, such as Processes, Guides, and AI Connections, extracting key design metrics from these assets. This feature enables users to gain insights into Important design time properties such as Publication Status, Log tracing level, and various details, enabling users to better understand and enhance the performance and efficiency of their assets.
Proactively understand the impact of IDMC Major and Standard Cloud Releases on your IDMC environment. With the automated upgrade analysis capability in Assurance Service, you can determine which assets are likely affected by new release features and dependencies, enabling you to:
- Review the list of impacted assets along with the reasons for their characterization, including quick insights to identify any risk of regression or optimization opportunities.
- Build a targeted regression test suite focused on potentially impacted assets, leveraging multiple filters, including the “recommendations” filter curated from task runtime characteristics.
- Deploy and execute the test suite in a pre-release environment to ensure compatibility and overall operational readiness.
- Identify and address potential issues before the upgrade, leading to a smoother transition.
Applicable for: CDI, CDI Serverless, ADI, ADI Serverless, CAI
The Recommendations filter within Asset Management and Upgrade Readiness reports allows you to easily identify assets for testing before upgrades.
You can choose from various criteria like Random samples, Maximum runs, Highest target row count, Highest recent failures, and Highest average throughput to view asset samples. This way, you can efficiently narrow down the set of assets you want to test before an upgrade, focusing your efforts on the areas most likely to be impacted.
Applicable for: CDI, CDI Serverless, ADI, ADI Serverless, CAI
Ensure the smooth operation of your Cloud Data Integration tasks with the Assurance Service's Task Observer. It analyzes task behavior over the past 90 days, providing detailed insights and visualizations of both overall anomaly trends and specific individual events. Additionally, you can set customized filters and alerts to be notified automatically of specific anomalies you want to track.
Applicable for: CDI, CDI Serverless, ADI, ADI Serverless
The Health Check feature enables you to proactively monitor the health of your Cloud Data Integration (including serverless), Advanced Data Integration (including serverless), and Cloud Application Integration environments.
This easy-to-use feature leverages pre-defined rules to identify common issues that can impact performance and stability, all without complex configuration. Review past health check summaries to track trends and identify areas for improvement. Plus, you can create custom rules tailored to your business needs for even deeper insights into your integration health. Note that User Health Checks are available only for CDI and CAI.
With Metaquery feature, you can gain deeper insights into your Cloud Data Integration (CDI) mapping tasks. It lets you query the IDMC metadata, revealing key properties and configurations. You can also generate detailed reports on specific mapping task attributes and export them as CSV files for further analysis.
