|
Adding a Web Tier front-end to your domain |
Oracle Web Tier hosts Web pages (static and dynamic), provides security and high performance along with built-in clustering, load balancing, and failover features. In particular, the Web Tier contains Oracle HTTP Server. |
Follow the instructions to install and configure Oracle HTTP Server in the WebLogic Server domain in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installing and Configuring Oracle HTTP Server. Also refer to "Installing Multiple Products in the Same Domain" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware for important information. |
|
Tuning and configuring Coherence for your topology |
The standard installation topology includes a Coherence cluster that contains storage-enabled Managed Coherence Servers. This configuration is a good starting point for using Coherence, but depending upon your specific requirements, consider tuning and reconfiguring Coherence to improve performance in a production environment. |
For information about Coherence clusters, see "Configuring and Managing Coherence Clusters" in Administering Clusters for Oracle WebLogic Server. For information about tuning Coherence, see Administering Oracle Coherence. For information about storing HTTP session data in Coherence, see "Using Coherence*Web with WebLogic Server" in Administering HTTP Session Management with Oracle Coherence*Web. For more information about creating and deploying Coherence applications, see Developing Oracle Coherence Applications for Oracle WebLogic Server. |
Table 8-3 lists additional tasks that you may perform to prepare Oracle Data Integrator for development.

| Task | Description | More Information |

|
Creating a logical agent |
Multiple physical agents having identical roles in different environments can be grouped under the same logical agent. A logical agent is related to physical agents through contexts. When starting an execution, you indicate the logical agent and the context. Oracle Data Integrator will translate this information into a single physical agent that will receive the execution request. |
To create a new logical agent, see the instructions in "Creating a Logical Agent" in Administering Oracle Data Integrator. |
|
Managing the agents |
Once your agents are defined in the topology, you can start, deploy, and stop your agents as needed. |
See "Managing Agents" in Administering Oracle Data Integrator. |
|
Administer your repositories |
Additional tasks are available to create and connect to new master and work repositories, changing passwords, and other administrative tasks to help you customize your environment |
See "Administering Repositories" in Administering Oracle Data Integrator. |
|
Create a server template for your Java EE agent |
Oracle Data Integrator provides a Server Template Generation wizard to help you create a server template for a run-time agent. |
