13 WebLogic Server Persistent Stores

This chapter describes how to monitor and configure persistent stores created for this domain. A persistent store is a physical repository for storing subsystem data.

The WebLogic Server persistent store provides a built-in, high-performance storage solution for WebLogic Server subsystems and services that require persistence. For example, it can store persistent JMS messages or temporarily store messages sent using the Store-and-Forward feature. The persistent store supports persistence to a file-based store or to a JDBC-accessible store in a database. See Using the WebLogic Persistent Store in Administering the WebLogic Persistent Store.

Note:

If you are logged into a domain partition, navigate from the Domain Partition menu.
