WebLogic Server Management Challenges 6 6
Challenges in WebLogic Server Management 1. Managing WebLogic Server performance & availability Across the enterprise Across multiple domains 2. Enterprise Java Application performance & availability Business transactions span shared components / services Deployed across several tiers in different containers 3. Control over changes that Affect application availability May not be authorized Lead to compliance & security concerns 4. Administrative tasks to clone & scale up that are Time consuming Error prone Result More Business Downtime + Higher IT costs + Less Agility 7
Business Impact on WebLogic Management Effective management is the key Streamline deployment Eliminate points where errors may be introduced Shortens resolution time to production issues Clear understanding of your environment Audit and tracking of configuration changes to ensure maximum availability Increased Success Rate of Projects Shortened Project Timeline Better Behaving, Lower Budget Applications Reduce costly downtime Streamline and automate operational procedures and management tasks! More Proactive Less Reactive Lower the number of incidents encountered Lower the time to resolve them 8

Real Business Problem Production Managing individual services is not enough Transactions may disappear without a trace because of delays, failures, errors IT staff typically unaware until end-user complains No one place-to-go to look for status of each transaction ecommerce Service Enterprise Service Bus Problem diagnosis and managing exceptions is laborious, high mean-time-to-resolve. Correlating exceptions with business transactions is a manual effort largely based on log mining Inventory Service EJB Application Credit Service Ship Service 80% of effort spent in isolating the issue Diverts valuable developer resources to IT fire-drills EJB Application DB MS JMS/MQbased Warehouse Performance monitoring alone is not sufficient Variety of issues, errors & faults Silo d approach. End-to-end visibility not available Missing critical business context e.g. customer name, order size. 24 24
