This pack also provides new pages within Grid Control, which helps you to monitor the performance, availability and configuration changes of your Oracle E-Business system and also to provision your E-Business Suite application.
Grid Control provides a complete view of your enterprise, allowing you manage all of your Oracle E-Business Suite systems from a single console.



Grid Control allows you to monitor multiple Oracle E-Business systems (both 11i & 12) from the outside. From within Grid Control, you can drill down into Oracle Applications Manager, which is built directly into the Oracle Applications system itself. Grid Control and Oracle Applications Manager combine together to provide a comprehensive Oracle Applications system management solution.
