Summary
Without the appropriate understanding of how the SOA Infrastructure and un-
derlying composites behave, it would be very difficult to know where to begin
when troubleshooting a particular issue. Fortunately, the previous chapters have
covered a lot of ground in this regard.
The approaches covered in this chapter are intended to provide you with more of
a troubleshooting methodology instead of a typical approach of listing out com-
mon errors and their resolutions. This includes:
•
Understanding how and when to increase logger levels
•
Understanding how to use logs and thread dumps to troubleshoot infrastruc-
ture problems
•
Troubleshooting service wide infrastructure performance problems
•
Leveraging SQL queries to obtain various composite durations to help identify
composite instance performance bottlenecks
•
Troubleshooting common composite instance issues
•
Understanding the composite compilation and deployment process, and how
to address common problems
This chapter is reliant on information learned in previous chapters, but hopefully
introduces you to a different approach that will guide you in your troubleshooting
efforts. There may be cases where you have exhausted your knowledge and
skills in troubleshooting particular errors, and you should remember that Oracle
SOA Suite 11g is still a relatively new technology and it is not uncommon to run
into bugs or product related issues. Don't hesitate to contact Oracle Support for
assistance.
The next chapter introduces yet another critical administration activity related to
the configuration and management of security within your SOA Infrastructure.
Businesses are relying more and more on establishing a central security man-
agement framework for service oriented applications. We will cover in detail how
to set up, use, and administer the out-of-the-box declarative policy based frame-
work in Oracle SOA Suite 11g.
