How Do I: Start or Stop WebLogic Server?
The web services you develop in WebLogic Workshop are deployed to a running instance of WebLogic Server. Before you can compile, run or debug a web service, WebLogic Server must be running. If you attempt to perform these operations when the server is not running, WebLogic Workshop will offer to start the server for you.
If you wish to start the server yourself, you can start or stop WebLogic Server as follows:
To Start WebLogic Server
In WebLogic Workshop, click the Tools menu, then click Start WebLogic Server.

To Stop WebLogic Server
In WebLogic Workshop, click the Tools menu, then click Stop WebLogic Server.
