This course introduces the architecture of WebLogic Application Server and enables the participants to effectively install and manage the SOA Suite 11g on WebLogic Application Server in High Availability and Load Balancing modes. The participants learn how to access and use various commands to perform the basic management tasks such as starting and stopping of WebLogic server and Oracle Fusion Middleware components. The participants gain hands-on experience in configuring the WebLogic Server, managing Oracle Fusion Middleware components on WebLogic Server, deploying Oracle Fusion Middleware applications on WebLogic Server, and monitoring Fusion Middleware.
