SOA Suite

The SOA Suite's default configuration parameters may not provide optimal performance for your production runtime environment. Tuning the configuration parameters will improve the performance and/or stability of the application platform; however, always document the difference in the performance between before and after changes. Do not change any default configuration parameters if there is no performance or stability benefits for the application platform.

SOA Suite has multiple GUI consoles available to view and update the configuration parameters. The commonly-used consoles are described in the following sections.

SOA infra application

The URL for invoking SOA infra application is http://{soa-host}:{soa- port}/soa-infra/ that provides the links to various other consoles available for viewing and modifying the configuration parameters, as shown in the following screenshot:

The WebLogic console

The URL for WebLogic console is http://{admin server host}:{admin server port }/console....
