Oracle WebLogic Server 10g R3: Monitoring and Performance Tuning
Description: This course trains Oracle WebLogic Server administrators, developers, and architects to tune the various aspects of Oracle WebLogic Server to attain optimal performance. This course also trains Oracle WebLogic Server administrators on the Oracle WebLogic Diagnostics Framework. Students learn how data is generated, gathered, analyzed, and saved through the use of data harvesters, watches and notifications, collected metrics, image captures, server instrumentation, and data archivers.
Learn To:
- Describe the Oracle WebLogic Diagnostic Framework (WLDF) architecture
- Create and configure ways to generate, gather, access, and persist diagnostic data
- Use the Oracle WebLogic diagnostic console extension
- Filter log events
- Tune Java Virtual Machine (JVM) parameters, Oracle WebLogic Server parameters, and application parameters for better performance
