Monitor Oracle EBS Forms with Dynatrace

[mohamed_hassan]

Summary: This post discusses what monitoring capabilities Dynatrace provides for Oracle EBS Forms. It covers compatibility considerations, available techniques, and constraints of monitoring legacy EBS components.

How to monitor Oracle EBS forms process since the frmweb runtime process is written in C and it's a 32-bit code. Currently, Dynatrace detects this as another technology, and it is unable to stitch the end-to-end user transactions when tracing the /forms/lservlet. It didn't stitch the DB calls.

Is there a way to make it detect as a Java process or any customization rules to be used? What are my other options?

unlikely as the OneAgent does not support C

Does Oneagent SDK or OTel can work better with 32bit code?

There's an sdk for c https://github.com/Dynatrace/OneAgent-SDK-for-C but you need access to the source code to implement traces. 

I didn't see any thing on an Otel provider front, that would be relevant.
