Oracle's executive brief on Enterprise Manager 12c explains its capabilities. According to the brief, Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c delivers a unique foundation for a truly self-service IT organization, enabling your business users to satisfy whatever IT needs they have immediately, on demand, improving the overall quality of an experience that the IT department itself controls.

The release of GlassFish 3.1.2 and NetBeans 7.1.1 presents users with a powerful combination, given that NetBeans probably has the best Java EE 6 out-of-the-box support and this 7.1.1 release fully supports GlassFish 3.1.2, posts Alexis Moussine-Pouchkine, adding that since this NetBeans release is also available as a patch update to 7.1, you need to either download GlassFish 3.1.2 separately or do a fresh install of a 7.1.1 bundle which includes GlassFish ("Java" or "All").

Using Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center to patch Solaris Systems is covered in a recent post by Anand Akela that cites the work done on that exercise by Juergen Fleischer. The post addresses several scenarios:
Applying a single patch to an asset
Applying multiple patches to several systems
Regular baseline patching
Using the "Latest and Greatest Patchset"
Akela points out that in all of these scenarios, patches can be applied on a running system or by using LiveUpgrade (LU) and reminds readers always to use the parallel zone patching feature.
