Oracle Coherence 12c: Administer and Troubleshoot Clusters

Duration: 5 Days

What you will learn

This Oracle Coherence 12c: Administer and Troubleshoot Clusters training covers all the essential knowledge required
to administer Coherence in both stand-alone and WebLogic Clusters. Deep dive into different scenarios and how this
solution can help you navigate your way through it.
Updated for 12.2.1: This course has new content about the new features in Coherence 12.2.1.

Learn How To:

Describe Coherence and its core features
Identify the role of a Coherence Administrator
Install, script and configure Coherence
Understand caching and what a Coherence Administrator needs to know about caching
Configure and deploy the GoldenGate Hot Cache adapter
Identify and deploy Coherence applications and understand the differences between stand-alone Coherence and
WebLogic-hosted Coherence instances
Monitor Coherence and Coherence applications in stand-alone and WebLogic environments
Identify common Coherence problems and how they are triaged

Benefits to You

Enrolling in this course will help you develop the knowledge to successfully create and manage Coherence clusters
either in stand-alone or WebLogic environments. In addition, you will learn all the major subsystems of Coherence and
how to configure, deploy and manage these areas.
Explore Coherence
Expert Oracle University instructors will use carefully crafted lab exercises to guide you through installation,
configuration and common uses of Coherence and its major subsystems. Participating in hands-on exercises will solidify
your new knowledge and help you apply it to your daily tasks.
Examine Coherence & WebLogic Server
This course will demonstrate how Coherence applications get deployed to WebLogic Server and how Coherence
clusters are created and managed in a WebLogic environment. You’ll also learn which WebLogic console features are
involved in Coherence Server management within a WLS domain.
