You can click a specific service component or service or reference binding component in the Name column to access more specific details. Description of the illustration soaapp_lower_helloworld.gif When you are within the pages of a SOA composite application, the SOA Composite menu appears below the application name at the top of the page. This menu provides you with administrative tasks specific to the current composite application. 5.  Select the SOA Composite menu: Description of the illustration sca_compositelist.gif These administrative options enable you to perform the following tasks.

6.   Right-click the name of a SOA composite application in the navigator. A menu is displayed that provides you with access to the same administrative options that appear in the SOA Composite c)   Navigating Through the Partition Home Page and Menu You can navigate to administrative tasks for a specific partition in the SOA Infrastructure. To navigate through the partition home page and menu: 1.      Expand SOA>soa-infra in the navigator. 2.      Click a specific partition. Description of the illustration sca_partitionmenu2.gif 3.  At the top of the page, select the SOA Partition menu. Description of the illustration sca_partitionmenu.gif These administrative options enable you to perform the following tasks:

4.  Right-click the name of a partition in the navigator. A menu is displayed that provides you with access to the same administrative options that appear in the SOA Partition menu. Note: You can also access the partition home page from the Related Topics menu on the home page of a SOA composite application. d).   Navigating to Deployed Java EE Applications You can navigate to deployed Java EE applications related to Oracle SOA Suite and (if installed) Oracle BPM Suite components. These applications are Java EE applications that represent the SOA system components, such as the technology adapters, Oracle B2B, Oracle BPM Worklist, and so on. You can deploy a web service and see it listed here. You can also click individual applications (for example, the deployed web service), and manage and test that you can deploy WAR and EAR files from here. If you have deployed your own Java EE applications, they also display here. To navigate to deployed Java EE applications: 1.    Expand Application Deployments in the navigator. 2.   Expand Internal Applications. 3.    Expand Resource Adapters. A list of deployed Java EE applications related to Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BPM Suite components appears.

The page displays details about application performance. Description of the illustration sca_deployapp2.gif Note that while Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control displays the URLs for all deployed modules, you cannot directly invoke them from this page.         e).  Navigating to the Oracle Weblogic Server Administration Console and Other Pages Most pages in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control include a Related Links menu in the upper right-hand corner. Depending upon your current location, the context of the menu changes to provide links to relevant pages. For example, when you are on the BPEL process service engine page, the Related Links menu provides links to the SOA Infrastructure home page, the BPEL process configuration properties page, the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, and a page for service engine log files. Figure 2-1 provides details. You can also click soa-infra at the top of the BPEL service engine page to go directly to the SOA Infrastructure home page. Figure 2-1 Related Links Menu for a SOA Composite Application Description of "Figure 2-1 Related Links Menu for a SOA Composite Application" When you are on the page of a service component of a SOA composite application, several navigational menus and links are available:

• The Related Links menu provides links to the SOA Infrastructure home page and the applicable service engine home page. Figure 2-2 provides details.
• Breadcrumbs are displayed in the upper left-hand corner as you traverse further into a SOA composite application.
• Within any SOA composite application page (including the service component pages), links to the SOA Infrastructure pages also remain available through the SOA Infrastructure menu that is displayed next to the Farm menu above the navigator. For example, this enables you to go from the home page of a specific BPEL service component directly to the BPEL service engine configuration properties page.
• Names at the top of the page can be clicked to navigate to parent pages. For example, clicking the name of a composite at the very top of a service component page enables you to go to the composite that includes that component.

Figure 2-2 Related Links Menu for a Service Component of a SOA Composite Application Description of "Figure 2-2 Related Links Menu for a Service Component of a SOA Composite Application" The service engines, SOA administration (such as the SOA Infrastructure Common Properties page), and business event pages all provide access to Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console from the Related Topics list. Selecting WebLogic Server Console opens a new browser page and takes you to the login prompt for the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. Your current page in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control is not lost. After logging in, the home page is displayed. Figure 2-3 provides details. Figure 2-3 Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Description of "Figure 2-3 Oracle Weblogic Server Administration Console" You can perform the following Oracle SOA Suite tasks from Oracle Weblogic Server Administration Console:
