8.1 Advantages of a Reference Configuration Domain

A Reference Configuration domain guards against the following:

Database Issues:

• Quiesces SOA server when DB allocated space reaches the configured limit.
• Provides optimum default values for database processes and parameters like distributed_lock_timeout and db_securefiles.

Memory Issues:

• Triggers message throttling till the pressure on memory subsides.
• Ramps up processing automatically when memory pressure eases.
• Rejects input payload beyond default threshold.

Connectivity Issues:

• Enables bounded retries on downstream failures.
• Sets optimum default values for connection and read timeouts.
• Provides optimum default JCA connection pool size

Thread Issues:

• Tunes work managers for inbound/outbound services.
• Limits the number of worker threads for JCA adapters.
• Enables dynamic worker threads for JMS adapters.
• Decouples work manager max thread constraint from SOA data source connection pool size.
• Provides optimal default data source connection pool size.
