Footnote 1 Usage rights to WebLogic SIP Server require a license for Oracle Communications Converged Application Server. For details, see Section 1.2.2.4, "WebLogic SIP Server."
Certain Oracle WebLogic Server editions contain features that have additional licensing considerations.
The license for Oracle Internet Application Server within WebLogic Suite includes the unrestricted rights to the full capabilities of the WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition.
Note:
When Oracle Internet Application Server is licensed independently of WebLogic Suite, a constrained WebLogic license, called WebLogic Server Basic, is included. However, when Oracle Internet Application Server is licensed as part of WebLogic Suite, an unrestricted license of WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition is included.This does not imply that two licenses of WebLogic Server Enterprise are provided within WebLogic Suite, but rather that the rights to WebLogic Server included in Internet Application Server are expanded to the unrestricted use of WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition included in WebLogic Suite.
The following topics describe license considerations for management and diagnostics features for editions of Oracle WebLogic Server.
Note the following license considerations for management features:
Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control is included with WebLogic Server Standard Edition, WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition, and WebLogic Suite Edition.
Unrestricted use of the WebLogic Server Administration Console, the WebLogic Scripting Tool, and WebLogic JMX is available in all WebLogic Server editions.
WebLogic Server Standard Edition, WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition, and WebLogic Suite work with Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, which is Oracle's integrated tool for managing your Oracle Grid and the components running on the grid.
The Oracle Enterprise Manager Diagnostics Pack for Oracle Middleware improves the availability and performance of Java applications with low overhead, as well as providing in-depth diagnostics. It enables administrators to proactively monitor application performance and diagnose the root cause of performance problems, such as an application crashing and hanging in a production environment, which may severely impact businesses.
This pack includes the following components:
Enterprise Manager system monitoring functionality applicable for both Oracle Internet Application Server and Oracle WebLogic Server
Oracle Application Diagnostics for Java (AD4J), which is able to diagnose the root cause of Java application performance problems in Java applications with very low performance overhead. It can support applications running on Sun, HP and IBM JVMs.
Oracle JRockit Mission Control, which you can use with either WebLogic or Oracle Internet Application Server with JRockit JVM
JRockit Flight Recorder graphical user interface, which is part of the Oracle JRockit Mission Control suite of diagnostic and profiling tools
For more feature highlights about Oracle Enterprise Manager Diagnostics Pack for Oracle Middleware, including licensing information, see "Oracle Middleware Enterprise Management" in Oracle Enterprise Manager Licensing Information.
Oracle WebLogic Server provides several features and tools to support the deployment of highly available and scalable applications, including the following:
WebLogic Server clusters, which provide scalability and reliability for your applications by distributing the work load among multiple instances of WebLogic Server.
Work Managers, which prioritize work based on rules you define and by monitoring actual run time performance statistics. Work Managers can be used to provide overload protection, such as detecting, avoiding, and recovering from excess workload. They may be applied globally to a WebLogic Server domain or to a specific application or component.
WebLogic Server persistent store, which is a built-in, high-performance storage solution for WebLogic Server subsystems and services that require persistence. For example, it can store persistent JMS messages or temporarily store messages sent using the Store-and-Forward feature. The persistent store supports persistence to a file-based store or to a JDBC-enabled database.
Network channels, which facilitate the effective use of network resources by segregating network traffic into channels based on the type of traffic.
Store-and-forward services, which enable WebLogic Server to deliver messages reliably between applications that are distributed across WebLogic Server instances. If the message destination is not available at the moment the messages are sent, either because of network problems or system failures, then the messages are saved on a local server instance and are forwarded to the remote destination once it becomes available.
Oracle Database Real Application Cluster (RAC) integration, which is provided by WebLogic Server via multi data sources, a collection of data sources representing each node in an Oracle Database RAC treated logically as one data source by the application layer, and GridLink data sources, an integration with Oracle Database RAC that requires only one data source per Oracle Database RAC within WebLogic Server.
A multi data source is an abstraction around a group of data sources that provides load balancing or failover processing at the time of connection requests, between the data sources associated with the multi data source.
Some WebLogic Server high availability features require special licensing considerations, which are described in the following sections.
A Standard Edition license provides unlimited access to most high availability features in WebLogic Server, with the exception of Cluster Support. With a Standard Edition license, no restrictions are placed on the following:
The number of Managed Server instances that may be configured in a WebLogic domain
Use of the Apache HTTP Server Plug-In to perform load balancing among non-clustered Managed Server instances using the WebLogicCluster
plug-in configuration parameter
Cluster Support is provided in all WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition and WebLogic Suite Edition licenses, and includes the following capabilities:
Application failover
When an application component becomes unavailable for any reason, a copy of the failed object finishes the job. In case of hardware or other failures, session state is available to other cluster nodes that can resume the work of the failed node.
Cluster management and administration
Creating a cluster of Managed Servers enables management and administration of these clustered servers as a single entity. Cluster management and administration features are provided for configuration, application deployment, and monitoring purposes.
Automatic and manual migration of a clustered server instance from one computer to another using Server Migration
Using Service Migration, the uninterrupted availability of singleton services — services that must run on only a single server instance at any given time, such as JMS and the JTA transaction recovery system — is ensured when the hosting server instance fails.
Load balancing
Incoming requests can be routed to a WebLogic Server instance in the cluster based on the volume of work being processed.
The following types of objects can be clustered in a WebLogic Server deployment:
Servlets
Java Server Pages
Enterprise JavaBeans
Remote Method Invocation (RMI) objects
Java Messaging Service (JMS) destinations. Note:
A connection factory and a destination can be targeted to different WebLogic Server instances.
Foreign servers and distributed destinations may be used across multiple WebLogic Server instances.
There are several ways that you can make WebLogic Server instances highly available. Each of these high availability models has specific licensing implications. These considerations are similar to the licensing considerations for the high availability features of the Oracle Database.
Backup: In this type of recovery, WebLogic Server data/files of the primary server are stored on storage devices, such as tape media, and customers are not required to purchase additional licenses.
Failover (also known as Active/Passive or Cold Failover Cluster): In this type of recovery, WebLogic Server nodes are configured in an Active/Passive Cluster; the first installed node acts as a primary node. If the primary node fails, one of the nodes in the cluster acts as the primary node. In this type of environment Oracle permits licensed Oracle WebLogic Server customers to run the WebLogic Server on an unlicensed spare computer for up to a total of ten separate days in any given calendar year. Any other use requires the environment to be fully licensed. Additionally, the same metric (that is, processor-based, or named user based) must be used when licensing the WebLogic Server in a failover environment.
Remote Mirroring: This method involves copying the WebLogic Server software to the secondary site and copying the changes in the primary WebLogic Server configuration and data to the secondary site. This can be accomplished through techniques such as storage based remote mirroring or host based mirroring. In the event of a failure at the primary site, the Oracle WebLogic Server on the secondary site is run using the remote storage. In this environment, Oracle WebLogic Server must be fully licensed at the primary site, and if it is ever installed and/or run at the secondary site, it must also be fully licensed there. Additionally, the same metric (that is, processor-based, or named user based) must be used to license both WebLogic Server domains.
WebLogic Server JDBC multi data sources, also known as GridLink for RAC, are available in WebLogic Server Standard Edition, WebLogic Server Enterprise Edition, and WebLogic Suite.
WebLogic Server GridLink data sources, known as Active GridLink for RAC, are available when licensed with the Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software option on WebLogic Suite.
WebLogic SIP Server is included in all editions of Oracle WebLogic Server; however, you must license Oracle Communications Converged Application Server (OCCAS) in order to have usage rights to SIP Server.
Apache Derby is an all-Java open source RDBMS that is included in the WebLogic Server distribution solely in support of WebLogic Server evaluation, either in the form of custom trial applications or through packaged sample applications provided with WebLogic Server. Use of Derby is subject to the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0, available at the following URL:

Certain Oracle Application Server features have additional licensing considerations. This section contains the following subsections:
All editions of Oracle Internet Application Server include Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, which is used for managing all the components within Oracle Internet Application Server. In addition, all of the Oracle Internet Application Server editions work with Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, which is Oracle's integrated tool for managing your Oracle Grid and the components running on the grid (for example, single instance databases, Real Application Clusters, Oracle Applications, Oracle Fusion Middleware, and third-party products).
Grid Control includes a restricted-use license for the Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server components required to deploy Grid Control. Refer to Section 1.3.3, "Restricted-Use Licensing," for details on the restricted-use licenses.
Oracle Application Server provides a number of features to ensure security between the client and the application server, and between the application server and the database.
Oracle Advanced Security ensures that communication over the Oracle SQL*Net Protocol is encrypted and secure. It also provides strong authentication services between the application server and the database. As part of a "secure by default" architecture, Oracle Advanced Security is installed with Oracle Fusion Middleware by default. This ensures that the client components required for secure communication and strong authentication between the application server and an Oracle database are present. However, if you want to configure and use the secure communication and authentication services provided by Oracle Advanced Security, you must also license Oracle Advanced Security with the Oracle database with which the application server communicates.
The Oracle Identity Management license that is included in Oracle Internet Application Server Enterprise Edition includes the following:
Oracle Internet Directory
Oracle Directory Integration Platform
Oracle Delegated Administration Services
Oracle Directory Services Manager
Oracle Single Sign-On
Oracle Access Manager Basic
For more information, see Section B, "Oracle Access Manager Basic."
A restricted use license for some of the Oracle Identity Management features is included with the application server for specific purposes. For more information, see Section 1.3.3, "Restricted-Use Licensing."
Oracle Internet Application Server has several high availability features that require special licensing considerations. These considerations are similar to the licensing considerations for the high availability features of the Oracle Database. These considerations are described in Section 1.2.2.3.3, "High Availability Considerations for Oracle WebLogic Server Middle-Tier Instances." There are further high availability restrictions for Oracle Internet Application Server based on the limited use license of WebLogic Server Basic, described in Appendix A, "WebLogic Server Basic."
See Chapter 3, "Oracle Fusion Middleware Adapters," for a description of Fusion Middleware Adapters. Technology adapters are included in all Oracle Internet Application Server editions. Other adapters require separate licensing.
Note the Oracle JRockit considerations described in the subsections that follow.
Oracle JRockit JDK provides tools, utilities, and a complete run-time environment for developing and running applications using the Java programming language. The JDK includes the Oracle JRockit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which is optimized for Intel architectures and is designed to provide reliability, scalability, and manageability for server-side Java applications.

Oracle Web Cache
Oracle Web Cache is a content-aware server accelerator, or reverse proxy, for the web tier that improves the performance, scalability, and availability of Web sites running on any web server or application server, such as Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle WebLogic Server. Oracle Web Cache can serve large numbers of client requests, offloading this process from the application server.
Oracle Coherence is an in-memory data grid solution that enables you to scale applications by providing fast access to frequently used data.
This section contains the following topics:
Section 1.6.1, "Oracle Coherence Standard and Enterprise Edition"
Section 1.6.5, "Feature Availability in Coherence Server Editions"
Section 1.6.6, "Feature Availability in Coherence Client Editions"
This section includes the following topics:
The licensing model for Coherence Enterprise and Standard Edition provides for homogeneous peer-to-peer deployments within the cluster. That means that every member node in the Coherence cluster needs to be licensed with the same Server Edition of Coherence. For Example, every cluster member node in the Enterprise Edition cluster must be running and be properly licensed for Coherence Enterprise Edition. Standard and Enterprise Edition licensing does not distinguish between Cache ClientsFoot 1 and Cache ServersFoot 2 . With Standard and Enterprise Editions Cache Clients must be licensed with the appropriate Server Edition license.
For enabling access to the Enterprise or Standard Edition clusters by clients that are not members of the cluster using TCP/IP (through Extend/TCP) Coherence Data Clients may be used. An unlimited number of Coherence Data Client licenses are included at no additional charge with every license of Coherence Enterprise or Standard Edition. Data Clients are also multi-language clients. Currently Java, C++ or .NET (C#) Data Clients are available. Coherence Data Clients connect to the Coherence cluster through one or more specially configured cluster member node called an Extend Proxy. All Extend Proxy nodes must also be properly licensed with appropriate Server Edition licenses. Coherence Data Clients are able to access (put, get, query) data in the Coherence Cluster and make invocation service requests using standard Coherence APIs, but they do not have the ability to sign up to be notified of the changes to the data in the grid. Further, Data Clients do not have the ability to use Near Caches or Continuous Query, as those capabilities also rely on the ability to receive notifications of data change from the cluster.
Figure 1-1 shows what an Enterprise or a Standard Edition deployment may look like from the licensing perspective.
Figure 1-1 Oracle Coherence Standard or Enterprise Edition Deployment
Grid Edition licensing includes the unlimited use of Real Time Clients which may be of the following two types:
Real Time Cluster Member Clients may be part of the Grid Edition Cluster and have all the capabilities of the Grid Edition except those associated with managing partitioned data and those associated with being an Extend Proxy. In other words they may be thought of as Grid Edition nodes configured to have all their partitioned cache services storage-enabled
attribute set to false
and unable to host connections from Extend/TCP Clients.
Real Time Cluster Member Clients are always Java clients.
Real Time Cluster Member Client nodes may not be configured as Extend Proxy for other Real Time Clients (only Server Edition nodes may be configured as Proxy Servers for use by multi-language Data Clients and Real Time Extend/TCP Clients).
Real Time Extend/TCP Clients connect to the Coherence cluster over TCP/IP through one or more specially configured cluster member node called an Extend Proxy. All Extend Proxy nodes must also be properly licensed with the Grid Edition licenses.
Real Time Extend/TCP Clients are multi-language clients and currently Java, .NET (C#) and C++ Real Time Extend/TCP Clients are available.
In contrast to the Data Clients, Real Time Extend/TCP Clients have the ability to sign up for notifications for events taking place in the Grid and can take advantage of Coherence Near Caches and Continuous Queries.
Under the Grid Edition licensing model, unlimited number of Real Time Client licenses is included at no additional charge with every license of Coherence Grid Edition.
Figure 1-2 shows what a Grid Edition deployment may look like from the licensing perspective.

Oracle JRockit JDK is included in all licenses of Oracle Coherence Standard Edition, Oracle Coherence Enterprise Edition, Oracle Coherence Grid Edition. JRockit JDK is restricted to running applications hosted on components within these products.
Management Pack for Oracle Coherence provides comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities for Coherence. This pack provides complete cluster visibility by supplying detailed metrics of various cluster artifacts and their interdependencies. You can monitor more than one Coherence cluster from a single console.
Enterprise Manager provides out-of-the-box support for metric alerts, enabling users to proactively monitor cluster health. Various performance charts show real-time and historical performance trends. Enterprise Manager automates the mundane tasks of setting up Coherence software and creating a cluster on distributed machines. Enterprise Manager also enables users to start and stop new nodes in an already monitored Coherence cluster. Similarly, users can also start and stop the entire cluster.
For complete license details about Management Pack for Oracle Coherence, see "Oracle Middleware Enterprise Management" in Oracle Enterprise Manager Licensing Information. This document is available from the Oracle Enterprise Manager Documentation page at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/grid-control/documentation/index.html

Footnote 1 Coherence TCMP clusters must be homogeneous with respect to the Coherence Edition. A TCMP cluster of one type (for example, Caching Edition) may connect to a TCMP cluster of another type (for example, Grid Edition) as a Data Client or as a Real Time Client, but this requires server-side licenses. The connection type is configurable and defaults to Real Time Client.
Footnote 2 Coherence Editions may not be mixed within the context of a single TCMP-based cluster. Integration of different Edition types is accomplished through Coherence*Extend (with each cluster acting as either a Data Client or a Real Time Client).
Footnote 3 Oracle's cluster-aware wire protocol (TCMP) provides detailed knowledge of the entire cluster that enables direct server access for lower latency and higher throughput, faster failover/failback/rebalancing, and the ability for any participating member to act as a service provider (for example, data management, remote invocation, management and monitoring, and so on).
Footnote 4 Supports integration with a local MBeanServer. This, with local JMX "agents", allows this node to provide management and monitoring features. Clustered JMX support adds the ability for this node to manage and monitor remote nodes as well.
Footnote 5 Parallel support for InvocableMap and QueryMap will result in server-side execution whenever possible, minimizing data transfer, allowing use of indexing, and parallelizing execution across the cluster. Without parallel support, the operations will retrieve the full dataset to the client for evaluation (which may be very inefficient).
Footnote 6 Grid Edition is required for WAN and other deployments that implement cluster-to-cluster interconnects, including any deployment where responsibility for data and/or processing spans more than one data center and activities are coordinated between those data centers using any form of Coherence-provided messaging or connectivity, such as deployments that feature two or more TCMP clusters interconnected by Coherence*Extend.
Table 1-9 lists the features available in the following Coherence Client Editions: note that the Data Client may be used with all Coherence Server Editions. The Real Time Client may only be used with Grid Edition. Extend/TCP is an abbreviation for Coherence*Extend configured for transport over TCP/IP.
Data Client — The Data Grid client for use anywhere. May be used with all Coherence Server Editions
Real Time Client configured as an Extend/TCP client — The real time desktop client. May be used only with Coherence Grid Edition.
Real Time Client configured as a Compute Client — The server-class client providing key manageability, monitoring, Quality of Service, and performance capabilities. May be used only with Coherence Grid Edition.
