Oracle Application Server 10g Standard Edition One is a
complete, integrated application server with prebuilt functions
that allow simplified installation, management, and operation while
reducing development time based on the special needs of small businesses..
The first significant optimization that you encounter in Oracle
Application Server 10g Standard Edition One is the one screen, single-click
install. This basic installation requires you to answer a few questions
on a single installation screen, after which you click "Install".
The installation then proceeds, using default values for all components.
Should you need a greater degree of customization and flexibility,
you can click the Advanced button on the install dialog box, which
allows you to install additional languages, choose port configuration
options, and specify an existing database as your Metadata Repository.
After installing Oracle Application Server 10g Standard Edition One,
you gain immediate management value. The Web-enabled Oracle Enterprise
Manager 10g Application Server Control enables you to administer
the new application server instance directly without any further
installation or complicated configuration.
The Application Server Control console is the single interface
for starting and stopping the application server instance, monitoring
the overall performance of the server, and reviewing the components
of the server. You can also drill down and examine the performance
of a particular component and configure the component.
Maintaining a high level of availability for
application server environments is one of the most important tasks
for administrators. In the event of a system or hardware
failure, administrators need to have confidence that their system
backups are not only valid, but also recent enough to ensure minimal
data loss.
Application Server Control simplifies Oracle Application Server
10g Standard Edition One backup and recovery tasks allowing an administrator
to back up or recover a system with just a couple of clicks.
Maintaining a list of port ranges for each component, remembering
which ports are in use by which component, and modifying such port
settings—especially while unaware of various port dependencies
across components—is a daunting task.
The Application Server Control console provides a simple user interface
for performing port administration. Through the Ports property page
on the Application Server Home page, you gain a single view of the
port ranges and ports in use across all application server components.
With a single click, you can access additional pages where you can
edit the port settings and easily determine any other cross component/port
dependencies. |
