WebLogic Training : WebLogic 9 Advanced Server System Administration

WebLogic 9 Advanced Server System Administration

WebLogic Training Overview:

Students will learn to customize existing Weblogic server environments. Through this class they will take advantage of some of the more specialized features that Weblogic provides. WLST Scripting is emphasized as a viable alternative to console administration and will be explored in this class. We will discover the basics of MBeans as a administrative unit and manipulate properties several ways in this class. We will emulate load on a server and tune the server to enhance the performance. This is a hands-on learning experience, with each student having their own Weblogic Server to learn with.

WebLogic Training Prerequisites :

This course is intended for Windows/UNIX administrators who need to administer a WebLogic Server platform. Java programming is necessary to build custom management classes

WebLogic Training Objectives:

Configure Weblogic advanced features
Setup custom JMX Applications
Create custom JMX Applications
Explore WLDF
Create WLST scripts
Tune Weblogic JDBC applications
Implement SSL for web applications
Configure custom Weblogic Security components
Build JMS Store and Forward applications

WebLogic Training Course duration:

5 Days
