Departmental Topology: Departments Hosting Their Applications
Managing an Enterprise Deployment Topology 5-5
■ Business Intelligence (BI) applications are working against a data warehouse with
tighter security
■ All applications are accessible by Portal and Wireless devices
■ Self Service Applications are using IP and Workflow
5.3 Departmental Topology: Departments Hosting Their Applications
The following sections describe considerations for managing a departmental topology:
■ Management Considerations
■ Backup and Recovery Consideration
■ Application Deployment and Performance Considerations
5.3.1 Management Considerations
■ Use the monitoring and alerting capabilities of Enterprise Manager to ensure you
are notified of any potential performance problems in your system. Use the
out-of-box alerting thresholds or configure custom thresholds if needed for
monitoring and alerts. Use historical data collected by Enterprise Manager to
specify baselines for thresholds.
■ Create Web Applications for monitoring availability and response for applications
deployed.
■ Use Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control for application server
administration. Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control is installed
automatically with the application server.
Use the Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control for these tasks:
■ Starting and Stopping components as needed
■ Enable/Disabling unused components so they do not consume system
resources
■ Setting or changing configuration parameters for any of the application server
components
■ Deploying and configuring applications
■ Managing application security
■ Monitoring application and component performance and resource
consumption in real-time
■ Viewing and setting ports
■ Browsing and searching log files
■ Managing infrastructure schemas
■ Command line utilities are available for scripting and automation
5.3.2 Backup and Recovery Consideration
■ Complete cold backup of the entire distributed environment.
5.3.3 Application Deployment and Performance Considerations
■ OHS used as load balancer for multiple OC4J instances
