The other day a developer called me to say that the Fusion Middleware console was spinning.   A quick look at the the environment showed a java process consuming 100% of a cpu and in the AdminServer weblogic log there was the following error: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space To get the environment going again I had to kill the java process and restart the AdminServer.    I increased

Part 3 describes the process to install and setup SSO on the application tier of my Fusion Middleware Environment. I had originally intended to talk about Portal and SOA here but I didn’t realize how long the SSO portion was. Oracle Single Sign-On and Oracle Delegated Administration Services Release 10g are required components for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer Release 10g and

The first thing I noticed is that 64bit version for Portal and SOA isn't available yet.  In case your not aware, if you are using a 64bit OS then you

Oracle Enterprise Manager provides you with the ability to monitor your environments and alert you once specified thresholds have been reached.  Blackouts allow you to suspend monitoring so you do not get notified.   This is useful for scheduled maintenance windows, such as cold backups, where the application and/or database may not be available. As well, blackouts also suspends data collection
