This chapter describes the contents and organization of this guide - Using WebLogic Server Multitenant.
This chapter includes the following sections:
This document describes the features and use of WebLogic Server Multitenant. It describes domain partitions and how you can use them in your WebLogic Server Multitenant (MT) environment.
This document is intended for system administrators. Fusion Middleware Control (FMWC) and WebLogic Server system administrators have complete access and control over the domain, including applications and resources within domain partitions.
Related responsibilities may include maintaining critical production systems, configuring and managing security realms, implementing authentication and authorization schemes for server and application resources, upgrading security features, and maintaining security provider databases. System administrators have in-depth knowledge of the Java security architecture, including Web services, Web application and EJB security, Public Key security, SSL, and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML).
This document is organized as follows:
This chapter, Introduction and Roadmap, describes the organization of this guide.
WebLogic Server Multitenant introduces WebLogic Server Multitenant and its features.
Configuring WebLogic Server Multitenant (MT): The Big Picture presents a high-level view of configuring WebLogic Server Multitenant.
Configuring Virtual Targets describes how to configure virtual targets. Virtual targets define the access points to resources, such as one or more host names, a URI prefix, and the Managed Servers or cluster to which the virtual target is itself targeted.
Configuring Resource Group Templates describes how to configure resource group templates, a named, domain-level collection of deployable resources intended to be used as a pattern by multiple resource groups.
Configuring Security describes how to configure security in WebLogic Server MT.
Configuring Oracle Traffic Director describes how to configure Oracle Traffic Director (OTD) in WebLogic Server Multitenant (MT) to employ OTD multitenant support.
Configuring Domain Partitions describes how to create, configure, and manage domain partitions, an administrative and runtime slice of a domain.
Configuring Resource Groups describes how to configure resource groups, a gathering of applications and the resources they use into a distinct administrative unit.
Configuring Resource Overrides describes resource overrides and how to configure them, allowing administrators to customize resources at the partition level.
Configuring Resource Consumption Management describes how to use Resource Consumption Management (RCM) to ensure the fairness of resource allocation and to reduce the contention of shared resources by collocated domain partitions in the server instance.
Deploying Applications describes how to deploy applications and modules in a multitenant environment.
Configuring the Shared Application Classloader describes how to use shared application classloaders in WebLogic Server MT.
Configuring Coherence describes how to configure Coherence in WebLogic Server MT and how Coherence applications can take full advantage of the density and operational efficiencies that are provided by WebLogic Server MT.
Configuring JDBC describes how to configure JDBC data sources in WebLogic Server MT.
Configuring Messaging describes how to configure messaging, including persistent stores (file and JDBC stores), JMS servers, Store-and-Forward (SAF) agents, path services, messaging bridges, JMS system modules and JMS application modules, and JMS connection pools in WebLogic Server MT.
Configuring and Programming JNDI describes how to configure foreign JNDI providers in WebLogic Server MT.
Configuring Partition Work Managers describes Partition Work Managers and how to configure them to set thread usage policy among partitions.
Configuring Partition Concurrent Managed Objects describes how to configure partition-level concurrent managed object templates and concurrent constraints in WebLogic Server MT.
Configuring Partition Batch Job Runtime describes how to configure the batch runtime in WebLogic Server MT partitions.
Configuring Resource Adapters describes how to configure connectors in WebLogic Server MT.
Exporting and Importing Partitions describes how to export and import partitions in WebLogic Server MT.
Managing Named Concurrent Edit Sessions describes how to manage concurrent named edit sessions in WebLogic Server MT.
Configuring Transactions describes transaction processing in a multiple partition environment.
Configuring Web Services describes how to configure the resources required to support advanced features for web services in WebLogic Server MT.
Monitoring and Debugging Partitions describes how to monitor partitions in WebLogic Server MT.
The following WebLogic Server documents contain information that is relevant to WebLogic Server MT:
Administering Oracle WebLogic Server with Fusion Middleware Control - This document describes how to configure, manage, and monitor Oracle WebLogic Server and WebLogic Server MT using Fusion Middleware Control.
Deploying Applications to Oracle WebLogic Server - This document describes deploying Java EE applications or application modules to WebLogic Server instances or clusters, including deploying to domain partitions, resource group templates, and resource groups.
Administering Security for Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1) - This document explains how to configure security for WebLogic Server.
Securing Resources Using Roles and Policies for Oracle WebLogic Server - This document introduces the various types of WebLogic resources, and provides information that allows you to secure these resources using WebLogic Server. The current version of this document primarily focuses on securing URL (Web) and Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) resources.
Upgrading Oracle WebLogic Server - This document provides procedures and other information you need to upgrade 6.x and earlier versions of WebLogic Server to the latest version. It also provides information about moving applications from a 6.x or earlier version. For specific information on upgrading WebLogic Server, see Upgrading Oracle WebLogic Server.
This book, Using WebLogic Server Multitenant, is new in WebLogic Server 12.2.1. For a comprehensive listing of the new WebLogic Server features introduced in this release, see What's New in Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1.
