How to Manage Metadata Partitions using Fusion Middleware Controle

What is Metadata ?

A metadata repository contains metadata for Oracle Fusion Middleware components, such as Oracle BPEL Process Manager, Oracle B2B, and Oracle WebCenter Portal. It can also contain metadata about the configuration of Oracle Fusion Middleware and metadata for your applications.


How to see existing Metadata Repositories and delete them if needed?

- Login to Fusion Middleware Control ( EM Console)
- On Left hand side Menu, Expand 'Metadata Repositories'
- Select your metadata data source
-  Here you can see all the existing Metadata partitions, You can delete them if wanted, It is always best practice to have only one existing MDS Partition always, and remove all the unwanted one's to have more space available.
- You can also see Metadata labels as well.

Weblogic Server Workshop Assignments

This blog outlines some of the workshop assignments part of Webogic Server Administration


- Install Weblogic server on Windows Machine and Linux Machine.

- Create a domain name called 'fm_domain'

- Create a Managed Server called 'FMADFServer1'

- Create a Managed Server called 'FMADFServer2'

-  Write a WLST Script to create a Managed Server called 'FMADFServer3'

-  Upgrade the 'fm_domain' to have installed 'Oracle Enterprise Manager'

- Create a Cluster called 'FMADFCluster1'

- Create a Cluster called 'FMADFCluster2' using WLST Script

- Stop and Start 'FMADFServer1' using WLST Script

- Stop and Start 'FMADFServer2' using WLS Console

- Provide a WLST Script to have all the required AD libraries deployed to 'FMADFServer3'

- Create a JDBC Data Source called 'FMRecruitDS' pointing to Oracle Database and target to 'FMADFCluster1 and '2'

- Install Webcenter Portal 11.1.1.8 on Unix Machine

- Install Oracle SOA Suite 11g on Unix Machine

- Install Oracle OSB on Unix machine

- Install Webcenter Sites on Unix Machine

- Install Oracle Database 11g on Unix Machine

- Exercise on Managed Server Memory tuning

- Exercise on configuring Log files on a specific managed server

- Start / Stop Managed server using Node Manager

- Start / Stop Managed server in MSI(managed server independence)  Mode

- Create a domain 'fm_domain_prod' in Production Mode with one cluster , cluster contains two managed servers. Practice Start / Stop all managed servers using Node Manager as well as MSI mode.

- Create and extend a SOA Domain Template using Template Builder

- Use OPatch in Unix and experiment with applying patches to already installed SOA/Weblogic Server/ADF patches.

- Crate a JMS Server 'EmpJMSServer'

- Create  'JMS Module'

- Crate 'Queue' and add a message to the queue

- Create a 'Topic' , add a message to the queue.

- Copy the above created 'fm_domain' to TEST /  PROD environment, i.e try to practice how can you copy the existing domain to another machine without re doing the same again and again.

- Create a Data Source using Weblogic console , pointing to Oracle Database.
