Open all.js.

Find browser.cache.check_doc_frequency and change the value to 1.

Firewalls

Oracle Service Bus supports network devices, such as firewalls, that properly support network protocols and the 7-Layer Network Model.

Oracle will perform root cause analysis on interaction problems between Oracle Service Bus and network devices, and it will address Oracle Service Bus product issues as appropriate, but it cannot address network address issues.
