• Using Service Migration in an Enterprise Deployment
  The Oracle WebLogic Server migration framework supports Whole Server Migration and Service Migration. Whole Server Migration requires more resources and a full start of a managed server, so it involves a higher failover latency than Service Migration. The products included in this EDG support Service Migration. Hence, Service Migration is recommended and this guide explains how to use Service Migration in an Oracle Fusion Middleware enterprise topology. Whole Server migration is out of the scope of this guide.
• Scaling Procedures for an Enterprise Deployment
  The scaling procedures for an enterprise deployment include scale out, scale in, scale up, and scale down. During a scale-out operation, you add managed servers to new nodes. You can remove these managed servers by performing a scale in operation. During a scale-up operation, you add managed servers to existing hosts. You can remove these servers by performing a scale-down operation.
