Logs |
This option enables you to view and configure the logging levels for runtime loggers. For more information, see Configuring Log Files and Setting Logging Levels for Troubleshooting. |
SOA Deployment |
This option enables you to deploy, undeploy, or redeploy SOA composite applications. For more information, see Deploying and Managing SOA Composite Applications . |
Manage Partitions |
This option enables you to logically group your SOA Infrastructure into separate sections known as partitions in which you deploy your SOA composite applications. This helps you to logically group composites so that you can perform bulk lifecycle management tasks on large numbers of SOA composite applications. For more information, see Introduction to Partitions and Managing Partitions and Work Manager Groups. |
Work Manager Groups |
This option enables you to manage the work manager groups. A work manager group consists of work managers used by Oracle SOA Suite for each partition. A work manager is an Oracle WebLogic Server entity that represents a logical thread pool. It is similar to a queue in which work items line up for processing. For more information, see Managing Work Manager Groups. |
Resequencing Groups |
This option enables you to access the Mediator Resequencing Groups page for finding all resequencing groups processed within a specified time period. Resequencing places unsynchronized Oracle Mediator messages back in the correct order. For more information, see Monitoring Resequencing Groups. |
Service Engines |
This option provides access to monitoring and management tasks for the BPEL process, Oracle BPMN, Oracle Mediator, human workflow, and business rules service engines. |
Bindings |
This option displays details about recently active document types and trading partners, and inbound and outbound endpoints for Oracle B2B. For more information, see Monitoring the Oracle B2B Infrastructure. |
Services and References |
This option displays message processing metrics for service and reference binding components in all SOA composite applications. For more information, see Monitoring Service and Reference Binding Components in the SOA Infrastructure. |
Business Events |
This option displays available business events and current event subscribers. For more information, see Managing Business Events. |
Error Notification Rules |
This option enables you to manage error notification rules. Rules are configuration definitions created for generating alerts during runtime. Alerts are triggered when a rule condition is met (for example, you define an alert to trigger if more than 10 faults occur within a 48 hour period). For more information, see Creating Error Notification Rules. Note: This option is displayed if Oracle Enterprise Scheduler is deployed with Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. |
Define Schedules |
This option enables you to define a schedule for submitting jobs. You select the defined schedule when you create an error notification rule. Schedules specify how often to trigger the scheduler (for example, invoke the scheduler every two minutes). Note: This option is displayed if Oracle Enterprise Scheduler is deployed with Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. For more information, see Administering Oracle Enterprise Scheduler. |
SOA Administration |
This option provides access to the following configuration tasks for the SOA Infrastructure and each service engine:
|
Security |
This option displays the following selections:
This option is available for all deployed Java EE applications, including the SOA Infrastructure (soa-infra) application. These options do not configure security policies for SOA composites. For more information about attaching policies to composite applications, see Managing SOA Composite Application Policies. |

Most pages in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control include a Related Links menu in the upper right-hand corner. Depending upon your current location, the context of the menu changes to provide links to relevant pages. For example, when you are on the BPEL process service engine page, the Related Links menu provides links to the SOA Infrastructure home page, the BPEL process configuration properties page, the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, and a page for service engine log files. Figure 2-1 provides details. You can also click soa-infra at the top of the BPEL service engine page to go directly to the SOA Infrastructure home page.
Figure 2-1 Related Links Menu for a SOA Composite Application
When you are on the page of a service component of a SOA composite application (for example, a BPEL process or Oracle Mediator), several navigational menus and links are available:
The Related Links menu provides links to the SOA Infrastructure home page and the applicable service engine home page. Figure 2-2 provides details.
Breadcrumbs are displayed in the upper left-hand corner as you traverse further into a SOA composite application.
Within any SOA composite application page (including the service component pages), links to the SOA Infrastructure pages also remain available through the SOA Infrastructure menu that is displayed next to the WebLogic Domain menu above the navigator. For example, this enables you to go from the home page of a specific BPEL service component directly to the BPEL service engine configuration properties page.
Names at the top of the page can be clicked to navigate to parent pages. For example, clicking the name of a composite at the very top of a service component page enables you to go to the composite that includes that component.
Figure 2-2 Related Links Menu for a Service Component of a SOA Composite Application
