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.

Disabling BPEL monitors and sensors


In this recipe, we will change a global control to control monitoring components that can affect the throughput.

Getting ready

You will need to install SOA Suite with the Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control component to use this recipe.

How to do it...

Follow these steps to control the BPEL sensors and monitors:

  1. Follow steps from 1 through 3 in the Tuning SOA engine dispatcher invoke threads recipe to get to the BPEL Service Engine properties page.

  2. Select the Disable BPEL Monitors and Sensors checkbox as shown in the following screenshot:

  3. Click on Apply in the top-right corner to persist these changes to the SOA domain.

How it works...

BPEL sensors are a part of the deployed composites that are evaluated at runtime by the BPEL engine. They are targeted at sections of the composite and can be fired around or within the composite in a number of ways, depending upon how the composite is behaving. When fired, they can trigger the further publishing of events...
