Automated bundling Infrastructure-aware

OMWM

Oracle Middleware Manager. Reads Oracle's own Middleware Scripts and the LICENSEWARE Collector, then runs automated bundling to find the cheapest legal license combination. Knows when WebLogic Standard qualifies for the free Basic edition, when installed Coherence is genuinely unused, and how to count licenses across AIX, Solaris, OVM, and EC2 infrastructure.

The pipeline

Scan. Bundle. Calculate.

OMWM does not stop at finding what is installed. It runs a bundling optimizer to pick the cheapest legal license combination, then calculates the final requirement against your actual infrastructure topology.

Two inputs, both authoritative: the output of Oracle's own Fusion Middleware scripts, and the LICENSEWARE Collector running against your environment. No guesswork, no filename heuristics.

The bundling optimizer fits components into the cheapest legal product suite. Tests WLS Standard installs for Basic eligibility. Checks whether installed Coherence is actually used. Flags components that cannot be bundled at all.

Bundling decisions land on the actual hardware they run on. Oracle core factors, LPAR caps, Solaris CPU pool boundaries, OVM clusters, and EC2 vCPU counting are all applied. The output is the processor licenses you actually need.

What you get

Bundling. Basic. Coherence. Infrastructure.

The four OMWM capabilities that other tools miss. None of them are obvious from a scan output. All of them move the bill.

Core

Automated bundling

Fits detected components into the cheapest legal product suite. Every bundling decision comes with the bundle-path evidence, so you can defend it to Oracle LMS and use it in negotiation.

WebLogic Basic eligibility

WebLogic Server Basic is a constrained, free edition. OMWM detects WebLogic Standard deployments that meet the Basic constraints and tells you which ones can drop the paid Standard license entirely.

Coherence usage

Coherence ships with most Fusion Middleware installs and is licensable the moment it is used. OMWM tells you whether your Coherence install is actually in use or just sitting on disk, which can mean no license is required at all.

Infrastructure-aware

Bundling decisions land on real hardware. AIX LPAR and Pool caps, Solaris Zones and CPU Pools, OVM physical and virtual, virtualization clusters, standalone hosts, HPUX, EC2. The processor count at the end of the calculation is the one that survives an audit.

Analysis Insights

Decisions. Evidence. Numbers.

Every bundling decision OMWM makes is logged with the evidence behind it. Every orphaned component is flagged with why it could not be bundled. The final license requirement is calculated against the actual hardware it runs on.

01

Large recognition catalog

Captures every licensable Fusion Middleware product and component the script and Collector output reveal. WebLogic, SOA Suite, OSB, ADF, Coherence, BPM, Identity and Access Management, and the long tail.

02

Bundle-path evidence

Every bundling decision carries the path it took: which components rolled into which suite, which rules applied, what the cheaper alternative would have cost. Defensible by construction.

03

Domain configuration view

Visibility into WebLogic domains, server instances, and clustering. The detail the bundling optimizer needs to land on the right WebLogic edition, and the evidence Oracle LMS asks for in an audit.

04

Orphaned components

Components that cannot be bundled into any product suite are surfaced with the reason. These are the items that need standalone licenses, and the rows most likely to drive a true-up.

05

Comprehensive infrastructure mapping

AIX LPAR, AIX Pool, AIX Physical, Solaris Zones, Solaris CPU Pools, Solaris Domains, Solaris Physical, Standalone Devices, Virtualization Clusters, Physical Hosts, Virtual Devices, OVM Physical and Virtual, HPUX, EC2. Oracle core factors and capacity rules applied to every one.
