After you install and configure an Oracle Fusion Middleware software (BI or not), your environment contains the following:
- An Oracle WebLogic Server domain. You can see it as a Virtual Machine Server that host servers. The first one contained is the Administration Server (ie weblogic) and the second one is the Managed Servers.
- As our environment includes system components, one or more Oracle instances (For BI, the BI instance refers to the System components (coreapplication) of a BI domain)
- A database that is used as a metadata repository, as the components require one.
Oracle Fusion Middleware provides always two types of components:
and they are are peers.
They are managed mainly by this two adminstrative user interface (installed in the Administration Server):
- WebLogic Server Administration Console — which provides advanced management for Weblogic, Java components (JEE) (BI Publisher, MapViewer, …), and security.
- Fusion Middleware Control (aka Enterprise Manager) — which is used to manage the system components (C++, JSE) (BI Server, BI Presentation Services, Scheduler, ….)
