Oracle
has released a new version 11.1.1.7.0 for their Oracle Fusion
Middleware product line. This version includes Patch Set #6 (PS6) for
Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1, with a big list of improvements and fixes for
each component in that suite.
In this post we will highlight some
of the interesting updates with regards to troubleshooting, performance,
reliability and scalability.
Infrastructure/Purging scripts
Database
growth is a common problem for large-scale Oracle SOA Suite
deployments. Oracle already provides multiple purging strategies for the
SOA Suite runtime database. This patch set includes two new scripts for
purging most of the runtime data:
Table Recreation Script
(TRS): This script can be used to reclaim as much database space as
possible, while still retaining the open instances. It can be used as a
corrective action for databases that grew excessively, for example when
purging was not performed at all. This should be used as a single
corrective action only; the script does not replace the normal purging
scripts.
Truncate script: Remove all records
from the SOA Suite runtime tables without dropping the tables. This
script can be used for cloning SOA Suite environments without copying
the instance data, or for recreating test scenarios by cleaning all the
runtime data.
The Oracle SOA Suite Administrator's guide contains a table with the available purging strategies.
Diagnostic dumps
Using
WLST you could already dump diagnostic information about various
components of the SOA Suite. This version adds support to retrieve more
information on BPEL and Adapters from the command-line.
Diagnostic dumps for BPEL
New
diagnostic dumps are available for BPEL to get information on thread
pools, average processing time for BPEL components, and average waiting
times for asynchronous instances. This information can be very useful
for performance analysis or troubleshooting. With WLST this information
can be retrieved from the command-line and included for monitoring or
reporting. Read the full article here.
