Manually Checking for New or Modified Domain Members

You can use Enterprise Manager to check a domain for new or modified members on a periodic basis.

  1. From the Targets menu, select Middleware.
  2. Click the WebLogic Domain you want to (enable the job for in the Middleware home page) refresh.
  3. From either the Farm or WebLogic Domain menu, select Refresh WebLogic Domain. The Refresh WebLogic Domain dialog opens.
  4. Click Add/Update Targets. The Management Agent refreshes by connecting to the Administration Server. The Administration Server must be up for the refresh to occur. Click Close on the Confirmation page. Enterprise Manager will search the domain for new and modified targets.

    When any entity in a domain is removed from a WebLogic domain such as WebLogic j2eeaserver, j2eeapp, and the like, they are still displayed in Enterprise Manager. Click Remove Targets if you do not need the historical data of these targets. The obsolete targets which can be removed from the domain are then displayed.

  5. Discovery Debug File Name option

    If problems occur while adding Middleware-related targets or refreshing domain membership, you can enable additional debugging information to quickly diagnose and resolve the issue. This file will be created in the discovery Agent's log directory.

  6. The Assign Agents page displays the Fusion Middleware targets discovered and the Management Agent assigned to each. Click Add Targets to assign Management Agents as listed in the Assign Agents page.

    Agents are automatically assigned as follows:

    • If a local Agent can be found on the target host, that Agent will be assigned.

    • If a local Agent cannot be found on the host, the Agent specified in the Targets page will be assigned.

    Note that you can also manually assign Agents to specific targets, if desired.

    This page also provides the option of Selective Discovery. Using this option, you can disable the discovery of only new target types.

    You can also modify the Domain Global Properties, for example, Contact, Cost Center, Lifecycle Status, and so on).

  7. The Saving Targets to Agent processing window appears, indicating how many total targets have been added and successfully saved. It will also indicate the number of targets that were unsuccessfully added.
  8. Click Close in the processing window when finished. The Results page displays the following options: Show Targets Details and Show WebLogic Domain Global Properties. The Show Targets Details page shows the targets and Agent assignments.

    Note: If there were targets that were removed, you can go back to the Refresh WebLogic Domain page and click Remove Targets to remove the targets and any historical information in the Management Repository. See Removing Middleware Targets.

  9. Click OK when finished. There may be a delay before these targets are visible and monitored. All the agents used for monitoring the targets must be up.

    To do this, on the WebLogic domain homepage, from the WebLogic domain menu, select Target setup, and then click Monitoring credentials.
