Oracle 11g WebLogic Administration
Overview
The Oracle 11g WebLogic Administration course teaches the core skills needed to install and configure the Oracle 11g WebLogic Application Server.
Using a mixture of instructor led discussion and a hands-on workshop approach, delegates learn to deploy Java EE applications using the Administration Console, use the command-line and WLST scripting tool, configuration of Oracle HTTP Server and configuration of Oracle WebLogic Server cluster to support failover and load balancing for applications.
Prerequisites
No prior knowledge of WebLogic is required, but delegates should be from a technical background. Some awareness of internet architectures and protocols is inferred.
Objectives
To provide the skills necessary to install, configure, manage, deploy applications to and understand the core aspects of Oracle 11g WebLogic server.
