Exporting/Importing MDS Metadata and Promoting MDS Labels for Oracle ADF 11g and Oracle WebCenter 11g Applications. In my previous post I was talking how to remove broken personalizations for specific user - Advanced MDS Management for Oracle ADF 11g and Oracle WebCenter 11g Applications. Today I will describe another technique, it enables basic MDS repository partial modifications without removing all user personalizations. This can be useful, when user breaks his page and wants to remove only problematic personalization, without affecting his previous work. Also I will talk about MDS labels, and will explain what MDS label promotion means for MDS repository. In short - MDS label promotion is MDS repository downgrade, because we are reverting repository to previous version.

Advanced MDS Management for Oracle ADF 11g and Oracle WebCenter 11g Applications. MDS functionality in Oracle Fusion 11g is really cool, and it makes Oracle ADF very competitive comparing to other development frameworks. You can read about personalization and customization support - Applying Personalization and Customization in Oracle ADF 11g and Oracle WebCenter 11g. However, most of the customers are asking, how they can manage MDS metadata repository effectively. In the current release of Oracle Fusion 11g, we don't have MDS metadata repository browser, its not easy to track who and when did MDS personalizations or customizations. Because of lack of MDS browser/editor, people sometimes can see a risk to implement systems with MDS functionality, no one wants to have black box as part of IT infrastructure. I have provided this feedback to Oracle Product Managers, I'm sure in the future we will have MDS browser/editor tool. I will explain, what functionality we can use today, for MDS repository management.

Managing ADF Security Permissions Using Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g. One of my previous blog posts describes how to Manage ADF Security Using Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g. Today I will specifically describe how to manage ADF Security Permissions without application redeployment. It is very common use case, especially when using ADF libraries. Developers who are implementing ADF libraries, often even are not aware what application roles will be used from main application to protect ADF Task Flows, etc. Its extremely important to be able to manage application permissions after deployment and without redeployment.

Managing ADF Security Using Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g. Recently I had a long meeting on customer side, to discuss and describe various ADF Security management strategies in production environment. Good news - at the end, everyone left this meeting happy and with correct understanding of benefits given by ADF Security. I will describe how you can manage Application and Enterprise security roles, as well as Permissions, after ADF application deployment on production WebLogic server.

Optimizing Oracle ADF Application Pool. If you was reading my previous post - Monitoring Data Source Connection Leaks, you got clear idea how you can monitor data source connection pool usage by Oracle ADF application. Basically speaking, Oracle ADF application works with two pools - Application and Database. First pool allows to optimize application work on middle tier, while second pool cares about database connections. Today I will describe how you can control JNDI data source connection pool.
