Using Work Managers to Optimize Scheduled Work
WebLogic Server lets you configure how your application prioritizes the execution of its work. Based on rules you define and by monitoring actual run-time performance,
WebLogic Server can optimize the performance of your application and maintain service-level agreements. You define the rules and constraints for your application by
defining a Work Manger and applying it either globally to a WebLogic Server domain or to a specific application component.
