Learn to monitor the effects of a running Oracle WebLogic Server application on the overall system. Increase the performance and scalability of your organisation’s apps & services running on your WebLogic Server. Learn to tune the system at different levels to ensure apps run smoothly without overtaxing available resources. 

Learn how to:

  • Describe a typical performance methodology
  • Use a load-testing tool such as the Grinder
  • Use command-line and graphical tools such as jps, jcmd, Java VisualVM, Mission Control, and Flight Recorder
  • Generate and analyze performance data
  • Tune operating system resources
  • Tune Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and Oracle WebLogic Server parameters

Benefits to You

You develop skills to increase the performance and scalability of your organization’s applications and services with the Oracle WebLogic Server -- the world's #1 application server. You learn how to simplify deployment and significantly improve time-to-market.

Tune the System

You learn how to tune the system at different levels to ensure that applications run smoothly without overtaxing available resources. In addition, you develop an understanding of how performance-test data is generated, gathered, analyzed, and saved.

Identify Performance Differences

You learn how to use a combination of tools to examine system resource, Java Virtual Machine, and Oracle WebLogic Server runtime metrics so that you can identify performance differences before and after configuration changes. You also practice analyzing these differences to determine the settings that optimize application performance.
