Before You Install

Refer to My Oracle Support for up-to-date additional information on Oracle Utilities Market Settlements Management installation.

Embedded vs Native/Clustered Installation

By default, Oracle Utilities Application Framework uses Oracle WebLogic in embedded mode. This means the Oracle WebLogic installation is essentially pointed to the Oracle Utilities Application Framework product installation and the executables of Oracle WebLogic are only used to execute the code. This has the advantage of being simple and quick to implement with the Oracle Utilities Application Framework generating a simple configuration for Oracle WebLogic to use.

If you want to take advantage of more advanced WebLogic features such as high performance (multiple managed servers) and high availability (clustering) configuration, do not use the embedded install. Rather, use the native/clustered installation which allows you to deploy the Oracle Utilities Application Framework JEE components within Oracle WebLogic, as you would with other JEE applications.

WebLogic Native Installation

With Oracle Utilities Application Framework 4.5.0.1.1, a WebLogic native installation is required. Refer to the Oracle WebLogic 12.2.1.x Configuration Guide for Oracle Utilities Framework (Doc ID 2413918.1) document on My Oracle Support for more information.

Application Server Clustering

If you are considering application server clustering, refer to the Oracle WebLogic 12.2.1.x Configuration Guide for Oracle Utilities Framework (Doc ID 2413918.1) document on My Oracle Support.

Additional information about WebLogic clustering, refer to the Fusion Middleware Using Clusters for Oracle WebLogic Server documentation.
