Validating SOA Middleware Connections for Oracle Fusion Applications (Doc ID 1342732.1)

The Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Fusion Applications is built upon the Oracle Weblogic platform.  When the Weblogic managed servers start , connections are made to the RDBMS layer and midtier components establish connection pools and obtain configuration information that allows their respective J2EE applications to startup and serve requests.

There are two main types of connections;

A. JDBC connections to the SOA Infrastructure RDBMS layer.

B. Adapter connections used by inbound and outbound integration scenarios within SOA Composite applications.

Debugging may be necessary for a technical issue with the Oracle SOA Suite or Fusion Applications such as:  a connectivity loss scenario between the midtier and RDBMS layers, or a SOA composite application that was customized or extended  using an Oracle SOA Suite adapter for an  integration.  

This note describes the basic connections established by the Oracle SOA Suite, the main components, and how to check the RDBMS and application adapter connection pools.  

Unless otherwise documented, all work will be done via the Oracle Weblogic Console URL (http://<host><domain>:<port>/console where port is typically 7001 for the Admin server of a Weblogic domain).  

 It is assumed that the Weblogic Admin Server and the /console uri is started and can be accessed.
