Oracle WebLogic Server 11g: Monitor and Tune Performance

Course Summary

Description

This course trains Oracle WebLogic Server administrators and architects to tune the various aspects of Oracle WebLogic Server to attain optimal performance. Participants learn how performance test data is generated, gathered, analyzed, and saved. An appendix is included covering the differences between the 11g (10.3.3) and 12c (12.1.1) product versions with regard to Oracle WebLogic Server administration topics. Learn To:  Instrument with load testing tool such as Grinder  Generate and analyze performance data  Tune Java Virtual Machine (JVM) parameters  Tune Oracle WebLogic Server parameters  Describe a typical performance methodology  Describe different monitoring and tuning tools such as JvisualVM, JRockit Mission Control, and so on

Objectives By the end of this course, students will be able to:  Describe performance tuning methodology and tools  Configure performance evaluation tools  Use the JRockit Mission Control to monitor JRockit JVM  Use JRockit Flight Recorder to record and analyze JRockit performance data  Use Java Visual VM to monitor Hotspot JVM  Use the Grinder to record performance test data and tune JVM  Configure and use Work Manager  Tune performance of Web applications  Configure and tune JDBC performance  Configure and tune EJB performance  Configure and tune JMS performance  Describe performance considerations for clusters

Topics

 Introduction to Performance Monitoring  Using the JSP Compiler jspc  Monitoring and Tuning JRockit JVM  Tuning JDBC  Tuning Hotspot JVM  Tuning EJB  Configuring Work Managers  Tuning JMS  Configuring Other WebLogic Server Resources  Tuning WebLogic Server Clusters
