Oracle Jolt is a Java class library and API that provides an interface to Oracle Tuxedo ... Oracle Jolt consists of the following components for creating Java-based

We have various unique processes run the PeopleSoft application. Each server process is designed to handle specific type of process. For example the some server processes are designed to handle browser requests, while others are designed to handle Integration Broker requests.

Server process are configured to boot within a domain.

Each Domain has its own server processes depending on the purpose of the domain.

For example, if the domain is specific to application then it contains all Application related processes and if it is a integration broker specific then the major processes are related to integration broker.

A domain can connect to only one database but a database can accept connections from multiple domains.

One application server can contain multiple domains and each domain contains multiple processes.

To enhance the scalability of system we can configure multiple domains in an application server and we can incorporate multiple application server machines to meet the system demand.
