However, I want a real development environment, and run it on my dev server. So, first thing first. Download the SOA Suite and BPM 12c. Then install the SOA Suite quick installer. Install BPM 12c in the same ORACLE_HOME as the SOA Suite. Make sure you have a certified database available. 11gR2 Express Edition will do (although some warnings...

One of the hidden gems in Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c is JVM Diagnostics. If you purchased the Weblogic Management Pack license then you already own it. JVMD allows administrators to diagnose performance problems in production Java applications.

It does not require complex instrumentation or restarting of the application to get in-depth application...

Oracle Event Processing is not the most frequently used tool in the Oracle SOA Suite, but more and more people now know about it. With some of the new features in BAM 12c many people will probably use it, without knowing that it is actually OEP behind there. OEP has allways been open and easy to adapt to your needs, but with this version it will be easier to show value fast. My personal favorite in this version is the REST adapter.For those of you interested in OEP – the...

Yesterday WebLogic 12.1.3 was finally released.
