Administrators can configure alerts for SLA rule violations For more information on configuring SLAs, see

Section 6.1.3, SLA Enforcement via Alerts.
1.3.4.3 Service Versioning
Oracle Service Bus provides the ability to deploy new versions of services and allows you to have multiple versions of message resources such as WSDLs and schemas.
Versions can include changes to the WSDL, the message schema, the headers, and the security parameters.
1.3.4.4 Reporting and Management Framework
Oracle Service Bus allows integration of widely adopted third-party reporting tools as well as custom enterprise system management frameworks. In addition, it supports
open interfaces for operational and deployment customization, JMX monitoring interfaces, and SNMP Alerts. For more information on reporting features, see
Chapter 6, Service Management and
Section 6.2, Message Reporting.
1.3.5 Configuration Framework
The Configuration Framework gives you full control over your Oracle Service Bus production environment..
1.3.5.1 Change Center
Oracle Service Bus Administration Console Change Center is key to making configuration changes inside the service bus. The Change Center has the unique ability
to lock its current configuration while changes are being made, letting the service bus continue to receive and process requests for services while configuration changes are
being made in the Admninistration Console.
Changes being made to the configuration do not affect the current system configuration until they are activated. The service bus uses the new service and
resource configuration when changes are activated. This way, ongoing changes can be made without disrupting services.
Configuration and resource changes you make are tracked, and you can undo or redo changes, resolve conflicts, maintain dependencies among resources, and test changes
in the Test Console
For more information on Change Center, see Using the Change Center in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Service Bus.
Oracle Service Bus provides import and export functionality for individual resources and full Oracle Service Bus configurations, and you can maintain resource
dependencies and preserve environment variables between environments.
1.3.5.2 Test Console
Oracle Service Bus built-in Test Console is a browser-based test environment used to validate resources and inline XQuery expressions used in the message flow. It is an
extension of the Oracle Service Bus Administration Console. Using the Test Console, it is possible to configure the test object proxy service, business service, XQuery, XSLT,

MFL resource, execute the test, and view test results. It allows message flow tracing when testing a service, to examine the state of the message at specific trace points.
Design-time testing helps isolate design problems before deploying a configuration to a production environment. The Test Console can test specific parts of a system in
isolation and it can test a system as a unit. The Test Console can be invoked in a number of ways in the Oracle Service Bus Administration Console, from:
■
The Project Explorer
■
The Resource Browser
■
The XQuery Editor For more information, see Using the Test Console in the Oracle Fusion Middleware
Administrators Guide for Oracle Service Bus.
