Oracle SOA Suite 11g enables administrators to further minimize manual steps
involved when moving the domain infrastructure across physical machines. It al-
lows what is referred to as green field movement, which entails leveraging ex-
isting out-of-the-box tools and capabilities to perform this activity without the reli-
ance on external or third-party tools.
The following diagram depicts, at a high level, the process involved when moving
Oracle Fusion Middleware components. This minimizes the amount of work that
would otherwise be required to reapply all the customization and configuration
changes made in one environment to another. You can install, configure, custom-
ize, and validate Oracle Fusion Middleware in a test environment. Once the sys-
tem is stable and performs as desired, you can create the production environment
by moving a copy of the components and their configurations from the test en-
vironment, instead of reimplementing all the changes that were incorporated into
the test environment.
What is moved exactly?
•
Installed binaries and patches
•
Configuration and metadata
•
Security configuration (for example, OPSS policies)
•
Supports MDS metadata and JCA connection factories
•
MovePlan—rewiring external references to match target
•
Data sources and endpoint addresses
