Course
Description
This comprehensive
3-day course covers WebLogic 7.0 administration
techniques. This course is designed to quickly
provide administrators and developers with
practical WebLogic administration, clustering
and deployment techniques.
Through a series
of lessons, hands on demos, and hands on
labs students will learn all aspects of
typical WebLogic administration. This course
is tailored to the needs of the customer
and their architecture.
This course
provides thorough coverage of WebLogic installation,
configuration, deployment, tuning and troubleshooting.
Hands-on classroom lab exercises give the
student experience with a variety of administrative
tasks.
