Summary

In this chapter, we presented an overview of Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control 12c and how to navigate the multitude of menus and submenus made available through the console. Accessing a particular function can be done through numerous navigation paths and is sometimes daunting for new administrators.

Here are this chapter's key takeaways:

• Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control 12c is the primary web-based console of choice for administering all aspects of Oracle SOA Suite 12c.
• Depending on what is installed, secondary consoles that the administrator may have access to include WebLogic Server Administration Console, Service Bus Console, BAM Composer, Managed File Transfer, the B2B user interface, SOA Composer, and BPM Worklist.
• The navigator, the vertical navigation tree on the left, is designed to provide direct and quick access to all monitoring and management functionality through easy-to-use context menus.
• The service-bus and soa-infra infrastructures are the two areas where the administrator will spend most of the time administering the infrastructure.
