Oracle SOA Suite 11g is the backbone of messaging and application integration
in a service oriented architecture. An Application Administrator is responsible for end-to-end administration and management of this infrastructure. The role extends to other areas such as architecting an SOA infrastructure, troubleshooting, monitoring, performance tuning, and securing transactions that flow over loosely coupled components. Understanding the underlying components, services, and configuration and their relation to each other is necessary to effectively administer the Oracle SOA Suite 11g environment. Due to its sheer size, administering Oracle SOA Suite 11g is a daunting task, but this book provides detailed explanations and walkthroughs of all of the core administrative areas.
We begin with an introduction to SOA and quickly move on to management of SOA composite applications. You will learn how to manage composite applications, their deployments, and lifecycles, followed by detailed explanations surrounding monitoring and performance tuning the Oracle SOA Suite 11g infrastructure.
In-depth explanations of numerous configuration and administration areas are also covered. You will be taken through troubleshooting approaches on how to identify faults and exceptions through extended logging and thread dumps, finding solutions to common startup problems, and deployment issues. We also explain how to secure the deployed services by leveraging Oracle Web Services Manager. Later chapters deal with managing the metadata services repository, backup, and recovery,
and will conclude with advanced topics such as silent installs, cloning, and
high availability installations. |
