Oracle Application Server 10g R2: Administration I

What you will learn

This course introduces the architecture of Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) and enables the participants to effectively install and manage Oracle Application Server 10g(10.1.2.0.2). The participants learn how to access and use Oracle Application Server management tools, and practice the basic management tasks such as starting and stopping of Oracle Application Server 10g instances and its components. The participants gain hands-on experience in configuring the Oracle Application Server 10g Infrastructure and the Oracle Application Server 10g middle-tier. They also learn to deploy J2EE applications such as Web applications. They learn the concepts of identity management and how to configure and manage Oracle Internet Directory, Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On Server, and the Oracle Application Server Certificate Authority. The participants learn how to leverage Oracle Identity Management Infrastructure for securing OracleAS Portal. Participants also learn the procedures involved in backing up and restoring the Oracle Application Server 10g instances from backup in case of a disaster.

This course counts towards the Hands-on course requirement for the Oracle Application Server 10g Administrator Certification. Only instructor-led inclass or instructor-led online formats of this course will meet the Certification Hands-on Requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses are excellent study and reference tools but DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement for certification.
