Why Use Fusion Middleware Control and WebLogic Server Administration Console?

You can use Fusion Middleware Control and WebLogic Server Administration Console to manage the system.

These Web-based tools support the most common system administration tasks. See Get Started to Manage the System.

Fusion Middleware Control enables you to manage system components by performing tasks such as monitoring status, starting and stopping processes, resolving issues, and configuring components. You can also manage some aspects of Java components. For example, you can monitor their status and start and stop them.

WebLogic Server Administration Console enables you to monitor status and configure security for Java components. See Introduction to System Administration in Oracle Analytics Server.

Locking Mechanism Enables Multiple Concurrent Administrators

With large deployments, you might have multiple administrators accessing the system concurrently to view the state of the system while other administrators might want to make configuration changes. Fusion Middleware Control and Oracle WebLogic Server prevent multiple administrators making concurrent updates of the same configuration settings by using a locking mechanism that enables only one administrator to make changes at any one time.

Note:

Multiple administrators using the same administrator account could unknowingly make concurrent updates of the same configuration settings. It's therefore recommended that multiple administrator users don't share the same administrator account.
