3.4.6 Starting and Stopping Fusion Middleware Control

If Fusion Middleware Control is configured for a domain, it is automatically started or stopped when you start or stop an Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Server, as described in Section 3.4.1 .

3.4.7 Starting and Stopping Oracle Management Agent

Oracle Management Agent is designed specifically for monitoring Oracle Fusion Middleware system components, such as Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Web Cache. To start Oracle Management Agent: opmnctl startproc ias-component=EMAGENT To stop Oracle Management Agent: opmnctl stopproc ias-component=EMAGENT

4.1 Overview of Deploying Applications

Oracle WebLogic Server provides a Java EE-compliant infrastructure for deploying, undeploying, and redeploying Java EE-compliant applications and modules. You can deploy the following into Oracle WebLogic Server: ■ A complete Java EE application packaged as an Enterprise Archive EAR file. ■ Standalone modules packaged as Java Archive files JARs containing Web Services, Enterprise JavaBeans EJBs, application clients CARs, or resource adapters RARs. ■ An ADF application. Oracle Application Development Framework Oracle ADF is an end-to-end application framework that builds on Java Platform, Enterprise Edition Java EE standards, and open-source technologies to simplify and accelerate implementing service-oriented applications. ■ An Oracle SOA Suite composite application. A SOA composite application is a single unit of deployment that greatly simplifies the management and lifecycle of SOA applications. ■ An Oracle WebCenter application. WebCenter applications differ from traditional Java EE applications in that they support run-time customization, including the applications pages, the portlets contained within these pages, and document libraries. A Metadata Archive MAR is a compressed archive of selected metadata, such as the application-level deployment profile, for an application. A MAR is used to deploy metadata content to the metadata service MDS repository. The following application 4-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware 2 Day Administration Guide types use a MAR as a container for content that is deployed to the MDS repository: ADF applications, SOA composite applications, and Oracle WebCenter applications. You can use Fusion Middleware Control, Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, Oracle JDeveloper, or the command line to deploy, undeploy, or redeploy an application. Which method you use depends on the type of application, as described in Table 4–1 . This chapter describes how to deploy an application using Fusion Middleware Control. If your application uses an MDS Repository, you must register the repository with the Oracle WebLogic Server domain before you deploy your application. Applications such as custom Java EE applications developed by your organization and some Oracle Fusion Middleware component applications, such as Oracle B2B and Oracle Web Services Manager, use an MDS Repository. For information about the MDS Repository and registering the repository, see Managing the MDS Repository in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide.
