Description
Course Description: This Oracle WebLogic Administration training is designed to provide participants with in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in configuring, deploying, and managing Oracle WebLogic Server. The course covers both fundamental and advanced topics, from installation to performance tuning, security, clustering, and automation using WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST). By the end of this course, participants will have the skills to manage WebLogic Server environments efficiently and deploy enterprise applications while ensuring security, high availability, and performance.Course Content:1. Introduction to Oracle WebLogic ServerOverview of Oracle WebLogic Server and its role in the Java EE platform.Understanding the WebLogic architecture: domains, nodes, servers (administration and managed).Exploring key features: scalability, reliability, and integration capabilities.2. Installing and Configuring WebLogic ServerStep-by-step WebLogic Server installation on different platforms (Linux, Windows).Creating and configuring WebLogic domains, including the administration server and managed servers.Understanding the directory structure and key configuration files in WebLogic (e.g., config.xml, boot properties).Configuring Node Manager for server lifecycle management (start, stop, and monitoring).3. WebLogic Domains and ServersUnderstanding WebLogic domains: What are domains, and how to create and manage them?Configuring and managing multiple managed servers in a WebLogic domain.Using the WebLogic Administration Console to manage servers, clusters, and resources.4. Deploying Java EE ApplicationsDeploying Java EE applications (WAR, EAR) using the WebLogic Administration Console and WLST.Understanding deployment strategies (in-place deployment, staged, and external staging).Configuring application-level settings like security roles, resource references, and application-specific properties.Troubleshooting common deployment issues and using deployment monitoring tools.5. WebLogic Clustering and High AvailabilityIntroduction to WebLogic Server clustering for load balancing and fault tolerance.Setting up horizontal and vertical clustering in WebLogic.Configuring HTTP session replication for high availability across clustered servers.Load balancing using Oracle HTTP Server and third-party load balancers.Managing WebLogic clusters using the console and WLST.6. WebLogic Security ManagementUnderstanding WebLogic security architecture: realms, users, roles, groups, and policies.Configuring WebLogic security providers: authentication, authorization, auditing, and credential mapping.Setting up LDAP integration for user authentication.Configuring Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for WebLogic domains, servers, and applications.Implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) and troubleshooting security-related issues.7. JDBC and JMS ConfigurationConfiguring data sources and JDBC connection pools for database connectivity.Understanding transaction management and connection pooling.Setting up Java Messaging Service (JMS) resources in WebLogic.Configuring JMS queues, topics, and connection factories for messaging between distributed systems.8. Monitoring and Managing WebLogic ServerUsing the WebLogic Administration Console and WLST for monitoring server health and performance.Understanding and configuring WebLogic logs: server logs, access logs, and diagnostic logs.Setting up performance thresholds, monitoring dashboards, and alerts.9. Performance Tuning and OptimizationBest practices for JVM tuning: heap size, garbage collection, and thread management.Tuning WebLogic thread pools and connection pools for optimal performance.Identifying performance bottlenecks using WebLogic diagnostic tools.Optimizing application performance by configuring caching and load balancing strategies.10. Troubleshooting and DiagnosticsAnalyzing WebLogic logs and identifying common errors (boot issues, deployment failures, security exceptions).Using the WebLogic Administration Console for real-time diagnostics.Configuring WebLogic Server for crash recovery and understanding diagnostic dumps.Troubleshooting node failures, managed server issues, and domain-level problems.11. Automating WebLogic Administration with WLST (WebLogic Scripting Tool)Introduction to WLST for automating administrative tasks.Writing scripts to automate domain creation, server lifecycle management, and application deployment.Using WLST for performance tuning and resource management.12. WebLogic Server PatchingUnderstanding Oracle WebLogic Server patching strategies.Applying security patches and service packs to WebLogic domains.Automating patching and upgrade processes using WLST and automation tools.13. Backup and RecoveryConfiguring WebLogic for domain backup and recovery.Recovering from server crashes, domain failures, and misconfigurations.
