Explanation/Reference:
A: Examples of information collected at regular intervals include:
/Oracle WebLogic Server software installations, including applied patches
/Oracle WebLogic Server configuration parameters (e.g. ports, JVM information, JDBC and JMS
resources, startup and shutdown classes) and configuration files
/Operating system patches, kernel parameter settings, and installed packages
/Hardware components including CPU, memory, storage, and network devices
B: Many performance degradation issues in production application environments occur due to
unauthorized configuration change. Organizations using Oracle WebLogic Server and other Application
Servers routinely struggle with managing configurations and enforcing compliance standards across all of
their server deployment. Oracle Enterprise Manager provides comprehensive configuration management
capabilities that help customers maximize value of their IT assets, increase the quality of IT services,
reduce the cost of managing IT, and meet IT compliance requirements.
D: Ensuring compliance with standards such as SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley), ITIL, and PCI, as well as with
unique business standards, is a challenge. Oracle Enterprise Manager ships with several predefined
policies for Oracle WebLogic Server and also enables users to define their own specific policies and
groups to quickly demonstrate compliance with various regulations and standards.
