Oracle WebLogic provides one of the most popular environments to develop and run today’s complex, business critical J2EE applications. Build on top of the famous WebLogic Server, the WebLogic Platform also includes enterprise foundation building blocks such as WebLogic Portal and WebLogic Integration.

dynaTrace and its PurePath Technology provides deep insights into the inner workings of J2EE applications running on WebLogic Server (WLS) and other WebLogic Platform components such as WebLogic Portal (WLP) and WebLogic Integration (WLI), enabling continuous performance management across the lifecycle. It provides three fully integrated product editions specifically tailored to the needs in each application life cycle stage: Development, Test, and Production.

Get Code-level Transparency into your WebLogic Applications

dynaTrace unlocks the performance secrets of WebLogic on all platforms. Its deep Java diagnostics capabilities enable you to precisely understand how your custom Java code is affecting the performance of specific business transactions, even if your application environment is globally distributed across several locations. As dynaTrace instruments Java byte code and thus does not require any source-code, you even see into dynamic behavior of WebLogic and its application services itself. Even issues as subtle as load balancing problems within an application server cluster can be automatically recognized and differentiated from application logic errors.

Extend Visibility Into WebLogic Integration (WLI) and WebLogic JMS

dynaTrace traces transactions even across asynchronous WebLogic JMS and WLI Message Broker applications and enables you to understand the dynamic behavior of applications using Java Message Service (JMS). dynaTrace supports other standard remote protocols such as SOAP and RMI but also provide support for WebLogic’s T3 protocol. Additionally, dynaTrace let’s you anaylze how Java applications use JOLT and the WebLogic Tuxedo Connector (WTC), increasing the depth of diagnosis and monitoring to the boundaries of Tuxedo.

Manage Portal Applications Running on WebLogic Portal

In case you run a portal application with pages gathering multiple portlets, built in-house or not, it is now possible to understand the contribution of each portlet in the overall page performance, even if the portlets are loaded remotely through WSRP. Thanks to dynaTrace unique capabilities of code exploration and deep diagnosis, you will understand the exact impact of the different WebLogic Portal services, such as the Content Management System (CMS) and the Entitlement System, allowing you to at last fine tune these components and thus unlocking your portal performance.

Triage Performance Issues between your custom J2EE application and the WLS infrastructure

dynaTrace not only provides deep-dive visibility into the Java application layer on a transactional basis, but also enables you to monitor the resource consumption of your WebLogic Server through JMX. dynaTrace also provide specific support for JRockit, allowing you to monitor the system down to the specific performance counters of this JVM. This way, you can efficiently triage between either the JVM, the J2EE application layer or the WebLogic infrastructure causing the performance problem that surfaced in a dedicated transaction, but also diagnose the root-cause of the issue within WebLogic and its system configuration.

Plug-in Integrations with WebLogic Workshop

dynaTrace provides out-of-the-box plugins to seamlessly integrate with your existing WebLogic Workshop development environement. dynaTrace CodeLink accelerates applying the necessary code changes required to resolve the performance issues identfied wíth dynaTrace.
