Most of these runtime settings are manipulated through Fusion Middleware Control and any change typically takes effect immediately. To summarize, the following management areas were covered:
Understanding SOA composite revisions and how the endpoint URL is composed as a result
Setting the default revision for a SOA composite
Starting up, shutting down, retiring, and activating a SOA composite
Deleting SOA composite instances
Best practices for SOA partition management, including assigning partitions to Work Group Managers
