WebLogic Admin Cookbook Review

Oracle WebLogic Server 12c Advanced Administration Cookbook is one of worth reading cookbooks from Packts.

Oracle Weblogic Sever 12c is the latest version. This book includes over 60 advanced receips for how to configure, troubleshoot and performance tune Oracle Weblogic Server 12c.

It starts with installation, domain creation and basic administration tasks. For example: how to start, stop server, how to start node manager. these information are really good for readers to know how to play weblogic server from the start. 

It would be nice if author could add how to use wlst to create domain, start/stop server in automation way for the readers who has expertise in wlst area.


The next chapter introduces active-active HA weblogic cluster, covers how to create and configure HA cluster. The beatful thing is author provides most recipes with WLST scripts, that will definitely be great helpful for administrators to follow these recipe to setup cluster in repeatable way. That will absolutely avoid human error.

Other chapters cover JMS, JDBC, Monitoring, Troubleshoot, Performance and Security.

I have learned some new way to do things on weblogic 12C. The recipes I have tried are really useful.
