Summary
The focus of this chapter was to walk through key activities that enable the Oracle
SOA Suite 11g administrator to perform various composite application functions,
including basic management to deployment to auditing. Specifically, we focused
on the following:
•
Managing composite lifecycles, discussing the differences between startup/
shutdown states and the active/retired modes.
•
Understanding revisions and how to set the default revision of composites.
•
Deploying, undeploying, and redeploying composites from Oracle Enterprise
Manager Fusion Middleware Control.
•
Understanding and managing partitions, including partition creation and de-
letion, as well as bulk management operations such as starting up, shutting
down, and undeploying all composites in a partition.
•
Setting up ant scripts for deploying, undeploying, and redeploying composite
applications.
•
Using ant to import and export artifacts to and from the MDS.
•
Understanding the purpose of configuration plans and how to use them.
•
Discuss the various audit levels, how to set them, and performance and stor-
age implications of each.
The ant-build scripts are an important aspect that every Oracle SOA Suite 11g
administrator should have a good handle on. Though we touched upon the more
important elements of ant as it pertains to Oracle SOA Suite 11g, for more in-
formation, refer to
chapter 43.6.2
titled
How to Manage SOA Composite Applic-
ations with ant Scripts

The next chapter will cover the essentials of monitoring the Oracle SOA Suite
11g infrastructure, the service engines, and instances. We will also describe the
infamous ECID, how to search BPEL and composite sensors, detail out the com-
ponent and composite states, and break down the log files in an easy to under-
stand format.
