Oracle SOA Suite 11g Performance Tuning Cookbook

Overview of this book

Oracle SOA Suite 11g forms the heart of many organisations' Service Oriented Architecture. Yet for such a core component, simple information on how to tune and configure SOA Suite and its infrastructure is hard to find. Because Oracle SOA Suite 11g builds on top of a variety of infrastructure components, up until now there has been no one single complete reference that brings together all the best practices for tuning the whole SOA stack. Oracle SOA Suite 11g Performance Tuning Cookbook contains plenty of tips and tricks to help you get the best performance from your SOA Suite infrastructure. From monitoring your environment so you know where bottlenecks are, to tuning the Java Virtual Machine, WebLogic Application Server, and BPEL and BPMN mediator engines, this book will give you the techniques you need in a easy to follow step-by-step guide. Starting with how to identify problems, and building on that with sections on monitoring, testing, and tuning, the recipes in this book will take you through many of the options available for performance tuning your application. There are many considerations to make when trying to get the best performance out of the Oracle SOA Suite platform. This performance Cookbook will teach you the whole process of tuning JVM garbage collection and memory, tuning BPEL and BPMN persistence settings, and tuning the application server. This book focuses on bringing together tips on how to identify the key bottlenecks in the whole SOA Suite infrastructure, and how to alleviate them. The Oracle SOA Suite 11g Performance Tuning Cookbook will ensure that you have the tools and techniques to get the most out of your infrastructure, delivering reliable, fast, and scalable services to your enterprise.

Using distributed JMS destinations in a cluster


A distributed JMS destination is a JMS queue or topic where the messages are spread across multiple servers in a cluster. They are used to have multiple JMS destinations across different servers that share a JNDI name.

Getting ready

You will need administrative access to the WebLogic domain that hosts your SOA Suite applications, and will need to have created a cluster already. If you already have a JMS queue using the JNDI name in your domain, you should delete this before creating the distributed destination.

How it works…

A distributed JMS queue allows you to have JMS queues with the same name on each node in a cluster. This allows the load to be distributed across multiple servers, with each server consuming off its own JMS queue and processing locally. A uniformly distributed destination is one in which the WebLogic Server creates the individual member queues on each server for you, rather than you having to do it yourself.

When configuring...
