Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 22 Improve Batch Performance  CC&B is optimized to maximize use of hardware & services in order to scale for very large production billing – Multi-thread parallel processing, Stateless servers, Optimistic logging – The product scales both live and in benchmarks (PG&E ~11M Services, EdF 3M+ C&I, Taiwan Power 13M+ Services, 10M benchmark billed < 2 hr)  The batch framework is sophisticated: – Many server options: WebLogic, Java, Coherence – There is a (relatively) new new Clustered Mode (often not used)  And, we are doing more to aid customers to manage batch environments – Enabled JMX in previous releases and issued an OEM pack

Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 23 How We’re Improving Batch  Documentation Updates – Updates to the Batch Best Practices, settings (including Coherence) – Updates to Production Configuration Guidelines  New Defaults – Defaults appropriate for basic configurations, but not all production envs – Options: Wizards for building configuration, OEM templates  Monitoring capabilities – Make the batch processing more transparent – Global Batch JMX API provided in FW4.2, Coherence level monitoring enabled – In progress: OEM monitoring, JVMD/ADP for JVM diagnosis and tracking Configuration help, default behavior, better monitoring
