New version of OEM/BIG-IP Plugin

The About page for this group now shows a download for a new version of the OEM/BIG-IP plugin.

 

 

This version contains a V10 version which contains only bugfixes from the prior version.

 

 

It adds a V11 version which has new features, including homepage charts, a job to allow pool member enable/disable, and administrative partition awareness.

 

 

For developers, the source code now includes a complete Eclipse project, scripts to build the plugin jar from souce, and automated build scripts.

 

 

George.

    George,

     

     

    I work at a very large Oracle/F5 customer. We have OEM but I'm unsure how to go about recommending the plugin. Is there a good whitepaper or anything that illustrates the benefits? Also, do you have any screenshots of the plugin being used so I can better understand the capabilities?

    All very reasonable requests!

     

     

    There is a data sheet from Oracle. I am attaching that.

     

     

    Outside of that, I don't have a lot in the way of screen shots that I've put together. The good news is it's easy, free, and relatively painless to try it out for yourself in a running OEM environment, and un-deploy it if you're not getting what you want from it.

     

     

    Hopefully the data sheet will help.

     

     

    George.

    Hi George ,

     

     

    All the documents refer to OEM 10 do you have any links for Plug-in with OEM 11gR1 ?

    The current download has separate plug-ins for V10 and V11. Is there a specific document or reference you could cite that would indicate that only V10 is supported?
