5 Oracle Fusion MDW - Introduction Oracle Fusion Middleware provides software for the development, deployment, and management of service-oriented architecture (SOA) FMW Product Categories Enterprise application server Integration- and process-management Application development tools Business Intelligence System Mgmt User Interaction Content Mgmt Identity Mgmt Grid Infrastructure Performance The Foundation for Cloud Applications and Application Infrastructure Consolidation 5

6 Weblogic Domains - Fundamentals!! Weblogic Server administration domain is a logically related group of Weblogic Server resources. Domains include a special Weblogic Server instance called the Administration Server, which is the central point from which you configure and manage all resources in the domain. Contents of a Domain Administration Server Managed Servers Resource Services 6

7 Weblogic Domain Architecture!! Depending on your particular business needs and system administration practices, you might decide to organize your domains based on criteria such as: Logical divisions of applications Physical location Size 7

8 Understanding Clustering A cluster consists of multiple server instances running simultaneously and working together Server instances that constitute a cluster can run on the same machine, or be located on different machines Each server instance in a cluster must run the same version of WebLogic Server. Provides horizontal scaling 8

9 What Are the Benefits of Clustering Scalability Capacity can be increased dynamically to meet demand High-Availability Application processing can continue when a server instance fails 9

10 What Types of Objects Can/Can t Be Clustered? Objects Can Be Clustered Servlets JSPs EJBs Remote Method Invocation (RMI) objects Java Messaging Service (JMS) destinations Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) connections Objects Cannot Be Clustered File services including file shares 10

11 WebLogic Server Communication In a Cluster WebLogic Server instances in a cluster communicate with one another using two basic network technologies: IP sockets - for peer-to-peer communication between clustered server instances. IP unicast or multicast - use to broadcast availability of services and heartbeats that indicate continued availability. 11

12 How WebLogic Server Detects Failures WebLogic Server instances in a cluster detect failures of their peer server instances by monitoring Socket connections to a peer server Regular server heartbeat messages 12

13 Understanding Cluster Configuration in Weblogic Config.xml - The config.xml file is an XML document that describes the configuration of a WebLogic Server domain 13

14 Application Deployment for Clustered Configurations Deployment Methods WebLogic Server Administration Console WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) Enterprise Manger Jdeveloper Ant Scripts 14

15 Oracle FMW Clustering Tips Understand the application(s) and design Application Deployment Considerations Standard Naming Conventions Admin Server Considerations Use Smart/Intelligent Load Balancing Tune application server JVM Heap size, etc Centralized and consistent logging 15

16 Oracle FMW Clustering Tips Simplicity Configure Startup/Shutdown Scripts properly Security Policy Store Location do not use local on clustered solution Use available resources EDG, Installation and Admin Guides, etc Firewall Considerations Capacity Planning 16
