Hands On Labs
The training begins with Weblogic Download. Next you will be installing the Java Virtual Machine, and then installing Oracle Database and configuring & starting the Weblogic server. After the weblogic server has been installed by you, next you will create a data source from the WLS administration console. In Weblogic Tutorial we will teach you how to run a sample java client to use the data source. You will also be creating multi-data-sources from Weblogic Server Administration console. Next we will teach you how to install the apache web server & how to configure it to redirect to Weblogic server. This allows users to access deployed applications on the Weblogic Server. You will thereafter create a cluster in Weblogic. You will learn how to move one managed server to another machine using the pack and unpack utility. Next you will deploy your test application. Test failover and load balancing using your application. You will implement messaging queues, and you will be creating JMS infrastructure on Oracle Weblogic Server. You will then run the queue and also receive a test case message from the queue. You will learn how to create a Weblogic bridge and configure SAF (store and forward). You will also be troubleshooting JMS queues on the Oracle Weblogic server. and then creating servers using WLST scripts. Taking the next steps, you will create a cluster using WLST and Change the configuration using WLST and Record configuration changes using the WLST record option.Hands On Labs for Basic Weblogic
