Oracle today announced the availability of Oracle
Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 2 (12.1.0.2). It is now available for download on
OTN on ALL platforms.
This is the first major release since the launch of Enterprise Manager 12c in
October of 2011. This is the first time when Enterprise Manager release is available on all platforms simultaneously.
This is primarily a stability release which incorporates many of issues and
feedback reported by early adopters. In addition, this release contains many
new features and enhancements in areas across the board.
New Capabilities and Features
Enhanced
management capabilities for enterprise private clouds:
Introduces new capabilities to allow customers to
build and manage a Java Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) cloud based on
Oracle Weblogic Server. The new capabilities include guided set up of
PaaS Cloud, self-service provisioning, automatic scale out and metering
and chargeback.
Enhanced lifecycle management capabilities for Oracle
WebLogic Server environments: Combining in-context multiple domain,
patching and configuration file synchronizations.
Integrated Hardware-Software management for Oracle
Exalogic Elastic Cloud through features such as rack schematics
visualization and integrated monitoring of all hardware and software
components.
The
latest management capabilities for business-critical applications include:
Business Application Management: A new Business
Application (BA) target type and dashboard with flexible definitions
provides a logical view of an application’s business transactions,
end-user experiences and the cloud infrastructure the monitored
application is running on.
Enhanced User Experience Reporting: Oracle Real User
Experience Insight has been enhanced to provide reporting capabilities on
client-side issues for applications running in the cloud and has been
more tightly coupled with Oracle Business Transaction Management to help
ensure that real-time user experience and transaction tracing data is
provided to users in context.
Several
key improvements address ease of administration, reporting and
extensibility for massively scalable cloud environments including dynamic
groups, self-updateable monitoring templates, bulk operations against many
events, etc.
New and Revised Plug-Ins:
Several
plug-Ins have been updated as a part of this release resulting in either new
versions or revisions. Revised plug-ins contain only bug-fixes and while new
