Capturing Oracle Banking Platform (OBP) Transactions in CEM

[Legacy User]

Hi,

 

I'm tasked with trying to capture Transactions which collate to various Banking Processes - the first one we are trying to capture is generating a personal Loan, initially we want to capture at a high level - response times from page to page, later on we will want to look closer at various buttons/processes that make calls to other backends - eg credit check.

 

The OBP Platform is monitored in APM using Weblogic agents.

The OBP Platform consists of various steps :

 

Understanding CASA Origination Concept

Capture Application – Create Application

Capture Application – Product Details

Capture Application – Personal Details

Capture Application – Bundles

Capture Application – Structure Solution

Capture Application – Review & Submit

 

I have sat with a Member of the banking Team and captured a recording of them generating a Personal loan from the Origination landing page and recorded each page stopping the recording after transitioning from one page to the next so i am left with approx 10 recordings.

 

The trouble i am facing is finding a unique signature key/pair for each page transition.

 

Has anyone had any experience in this or similar environments and can offer some pointers ?

 

Thanks.

 

FYI : I've been through Hallets : https://communities.ca.com/message/241734832#241734832 and i have planned sitting through walk-throughs with the devs on key transactions including determining how to identify users/sessions, group users, key parameter-value pairs to identify etc

Hi Andy:

        This is more of a Best Practice rather than a Break Fix but I will chip in.

         1) Is there something else that can serve as an identifying transaction rather than one CEM selected?

         2) Is there something that you can use as a Does not Exist?

         3) Would building a HTTP Plugin help you capture additional parameters.

         4) Does doing a view source or a fiddler trace give you any additional insights

   I would be glad to look at a screen shot of your application to see what you are facing

 

Thanks

Further Info on this .. the OBP Platform uses Oracle ADF framework and we are capturing such variables as :

 

Name:	ADF Variables
Variable Name:	afrLoop
Variable Name:	afrWindowId
Variable Name:	jsessionId
Variable Name:	adf.ctrl-state
Variable Name:	javax.faces.ViewState

 

If anyone out there has some experience using CEM and ADF ?
