Webtier Routing Rules
The Oracle Webtier (also known as Oracle HTTP Server) provides the interface between your external load balancer and the applications. This topic helps you understand the basic configuration parameters for Oracle Web Tier that you can define in the platform blueprint. The WebTier configuration is optional, and you can add it only when you need WebTier in your configuration.
Prerequisites
Before you begin defining the configuration, the Webtier must be listed as a product in your Platform Blueprint.
If you did not select Oracle Webtier during the Platform Blueprint Wizard then you can add it your Blueprint at a later stage as follows:
From the Edit mode in a Platform Blueprint navigate to the Products component and click on + icon to add a new product.
You will then be prompted to select the product to compute group targeting. Select Oracle Webtier and target it to the compute group of your choice.
