10 Manage the SOA Infrastructure

The SOA Infrastructure is a Java EE-compliant application running in Oracle WebLogic Server. The application manages composites and their lifecycle, as well as service engines and binding components. This chapter describes the set of typical tasks you need to configure and monitor the SOA Infrastructure.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Monitor SOA Infrastructure Request Processing

• Configure the SOA Infrastructure Common Properties

• Monitor the Service and Reference Binding Components

• Monitor Overall Status of the SOA Infrastructure

• Manage the Partitions in the SOA Infrastructure

• Manage a Partition from the Dashboard Page

• Configure Global Token Variables

• Delete Large Numbers of Instances Automatically

• Manage Error Notification Rules

• Manage Work Manager Groups

• Track Business Flow Instances in the SOA Infrastructure

• Manage Faults in the Error Hospital of the SOA Infrastructure

• Monitor Deployed SOA Composite Applications in the SOA Infrastructure

• Manage Deployed Composites in the Partition

• Track Business Flow Instances in the Partition

• Manage Faults in the Error Hospital in the Partition
