Diversity and Inclusion

Oracle is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. Oracle respects and values having a diverse workforce that increases thought leadership and innovation. As part of our initiative to build a more inclusive culture that positively impacts our employees, customers, and partners, we are working to remove insensitive terms from our products and documentation. We are also mindful of the necessity to maintain compatibility with our customers' existing technologies and the need to ensure continuity of service as Oracle's offerings and industry standards evolve. Because of these technical constraints, our effort to remove insensitive terms is ongoing and will take time and external cooperation.

WLST Sample Scripts

Oracle Fusion Middleware provides both WLST online and offline sample scripts.

The following sections describe the sample scripts that you can run or use as templates for creating additional scripts:

For information about running scripts, see Running Scripts.

Note:

The sample scripts are not installed by default. To install the server samples, you must select the Complete With Examples option when installing WebLogic Server.

WLST Online Sample Scripts

The WLST online sample scripts demonstrate how to perform administrative tasks and initiate WebLogic Server configuration changes while connected to a running server. WLST online scripts are located in the following directory: ORACLE_HOME\\wlserver\samples\server\examples\src\examples\wlst\online.

Table -1 summarizes WLST online sample scripts.

Table -1 WLST Online Sample Scripts

WLST Sample Script	Description
`cluster_creation.py`	Connects WLST to an Administration Server, starts an edit session, and creates 10 Managed Servers. It then creates two clusters, assigns servers to each cluster, and disconnects WLST from the server.
`cluster_deletion.py`	Removes the clusters and servers created in `cluster_creation.py`.
`configJMSSystemResource.py`	Connects WLST to an Administration Server, starts an edit session, creates two JMS Servers, and targets them to the Administration Server. Then creates JMS topics, JMS queues, and JMS templates in a JMS System module. The JMS queues and topics are targeted using sub-deployments.
`deleteJMSSystemResource.py`	Removes the JMS System module created by `configJMSSystemResource.py`.
`jdbc_data_source_creation.py`	Connects WLST to an Administration Server, starts an edit session, and creates a JDBC data source called `myJDBCDataSource`.
`jdbc_data_source_deletion.py`	Removes the JDBC data source created by `jdbc_data_source_creation.py`.

WLST Offline Sample Scripts

The WLST offline sample scripts demonstrate how to create WebLogic domains using the domain templates that are installed with the software. The WLST offline scripts are located in the following directory: ORACLE_HOME\wlserver\common\templates\scripts\wlst.

Table -2 summarizes WLST offline sample scripts.

Table -2 WLST Offline Sample Script

WLST Sample Script	Description
`basicWLSdomain.py`	Creates a simple WebLogic domain demonstrating how to open a domain template, create and edit configuration objects, and write the domain configuration information to the specified directory. The sample consists of a single server, representing a typical development environment. This type of configuration is not recommended for production environments. The script uses the Basic WebLogic Server Domain template.
`clusterMedRecDomain.py`	Creates a single-cluster WebLogic domain, creating three Managed Servers and assigning them to a cluster. The script uses the Basic WebLogic Server Domain template and extends it using the Avitek Medical Records Sample extension template.
`distributedQueue.py`	Demonstrates two methods for creating distributed queues. The script uses the Basic WebLogic Server Domain template and extends it using the Avitek Medical Records Sample extension template.
`sampleMedRecDomain.py`	Creates a WebLogic domain that defines resources similar to those used in the Avitek MedRec sample. This example does not recreate the MedRec example in its entirety, nor does it deploy any sample applications. The script uses the Basic WebLogic Server Domain template.
