WL-OPC Help

WL-OPC (WLSDM OPERATION CENTER) is the central Operation and Notification system that enables to manage and monitor Oracle WebLogic Server infrastructures and Oracle Fusion Middleware domains such as Oracle ADF, SOA Suite, Oracle Service Bus (OSB), Business Intelligence (OBIEE), E-Business Suite (EBS)... etc.

II. Core Features

• Central Health Dashboard: Consolidate all your Oracle FMW WebLogic domain health and states on a single page. Deliver health notifications centrally!
• Domain AdminServer Monitoring: Monitor and receive notifications for all registered WebLogic AdminServer health states (including non-WLSDM domains)
• Oracle WebLogic Domains Bookmark Page: Detect and display all standard WebLogic console links and provide authentication support for the logged-in user. Save time, jump to FMW consoles or any other custom links… etc.
• Domain Asset Management and Inventory: Stores all information for the registered domains; including hardware, operating system and each WebLogic managed server’s JVM information. Get reports, list WebLogic versions, list JVM Java versions, export to files… etc.
• Executive/Manager Report Modules: Stores daily ALERT notification statistics data. Provide custom/pre-defined notification reports and visualize them by using interactive charts. Compare WebLogic domain performances, understand which WebLogic domains have weak performance then report them all
• Central Notification Delivery and Central Notification Dashboards: Display all notifications on a single dashboard page. Each notification type has its own notification dashboard. View all the generated HTML emails in the notification dashboards. Search old notifications then view HTML emails on the WL-OPC console. Do not get lost in the mail client inbox folders. Advanced search is available for all kinds of FMW WebLogic notifications. Consolidate and view all open health and metric notifications on single dashboard. The easiest way to find which WebLogic domains have open notifications and need to be solved. Make your L1/L2 teams life easy and increase customer satisfaction
• Compare WebLogic Managed Server JVM Arguments: Compare and analyze JVM runtime and startup arguments. Find missing or different JVM runtime or startup arguments easily then align all your JVM arguments
• Multiple WebLogic Domain JVM Argument Manager: Manage multiple WebLogic domains' Managed Server JVM arguments easily. Append, Remove, Update, Find and Replace, Replace All bulk operations are available
• Multiple WebLogic Domain Data Source Manager: Central WebLogic data source manager and optimizer. Manage multiple WebLogic domains' data sources at the same time
• Multiple WebLogic Domain Settings Standardizer: Update multiple WebLogic domains' general settings, cluster settings and managed server configurations at the same time. Bulk update is available for standardizing your WebLogic domains
• Central WLSDM Configurations: Load & edit all 'WLSDM System Settings' on a single page and apply changes to all registered WLSDM domains
• Security, Authentication and Authorization: Supports hybrid security layer. Local and/or remote LDAP authentication and authorization. Simply integrate your LDAP server with WL-OPC then authenticate and authorize your L1/L2 support team
• Create Mail Groups and Recipients: Add email addresses, create unlimited mail groups and bind them to WebLogic domains or notification types. Match teams with WebLogic domains then delivery notifications for the relevant L1/L2 teams
• Notification Delivery Rules: Create unlimited notification rules according to notification types. You can use all notification data and daily notification statistics to decide what’s next with your own executable scripts
• Notification Actions: Generate and bind custom actions for any kind of notification types. Use this DevOps feature and automate your custom solutions scripts centrally
• Central HTML Mail Templates: Edit your email templates online. WYSIWYG editor is available for the HTML mail templates
• Company Signature: Design and configure your company signature to the HTML email notifications as a footer. Then increase your team reputation for your customer satisfaction
