1 Introduction

A WebLogic domain consists of several infrastructure components. You can create and extend a WebLogic domain by using the Configuration Wizard. Additional tools are also available to create, extend, and manage domains.

This chapter includes the following sections:

- Introduction to WebLogic Domains
A WebLogic domain is the basic administrative unit of WebLogic Server. It consists of one or more WebLogic Server instances, and logically related resources and services that are managed collectively as one unit.

- Overview of the Configuration Wizard
The Configuration Wizard helps create and update a WebLogic domain. The Configuration Wizard supports different GUI modes. When installing a standalone WebLogic Server, use the Quick Start Configuration Wizard to configure the WebLogic Server sample domains.

- About Templates
In the context of the Configuration Wizard, the term template refers to a Java Archive (JAR) file, which contains the files and scripts required to create or extend a WebLogic domain. A WebLogic Server product installation includes a set of predefined domain and extension templates.

- Additional Tools for Creating, Extending, and Managing WebLogic Domains
In addition to the Configuration Wizard, different tools are available to create, extend, and manage domains. You can also perform run-time configuration by using the consoles of the product components (for example, the WebLogic Server Administration Console).

1.1 Introduction to WebLogic Domains

A WebLogic domain is the basic administrative unit of WebLogic Server. It consists of one or more WebLogic Server instances, and logically related resources and services that are managed collectively as one unit.

Figure 1-1 WebLogic Domain Structure

As shown in Figure 1-1, the basic domain infrastructure consists of one Administration Server and optional Managed Servers and clusters. A WebLogic domain can also contain Coherence clusters.

The components of a WebLogic domain are described in Table 1-1.

Table 1-1 WebLogic Domain Infrastructure Components

Component

Description

Administration Server

A domain includes one WebLogic Server instance that is configured as an Administration Server. All changes to configuration and deployment of applications are done through the Administration Server.

The Administration Server provides a central point for managing the domain and providing access to the WebLogic Server administration tools. These tools include:

- WebLogic Server Administration Console: Graphical user interface to the Administration Server.

- WebLogic Server Node Manager: A Java program that lets you start and stop server instances—both Administration Servers and Managed Servers—remotely, and to monitor and automatically restart them after an unexpected failure.
Note that the Node Manager is installed on all the machines that host any server instance—both the Administration Server and Managed Servers.

For more information about the WebLogic Server administration tools, see Summary of System Administration Tools and APIs in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server.

Managed Servers

All other WebLogic Server instances in a domain are called Managed Servers. Managed Servers host application components and resources, which are also deployed and managed as part of the domain. In a domain with only a single WebLogic Server instance, that single server works as both the Administration Server and the Managed Server.

Clusters

A domain may also include WebLogic Server clusters, which are groups of Managed Server instances that work together to provide scalability and high availability for applications. Clusters can improve performance and provide failover when a server instance becomes unavailable. The servers within a cluster can either run on the same machine or reside in different machines. To the client, a cluster appears as a single WebLogic Server instance.

Coherence clusters

A domain may also include Coherence clusters. A Coherence cluster is a group of cluster nodes that share a group address, which allows the cluster nodes to communicate. For more information on Coherence clusters, see Clustering in Coherence in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing Applications with Oracle Coherence.

Managed Coherence servers

A domain may also include managed Coherence servers. A managed Coherence server is any WebLogic Managed Server that is assigned to a Coherence cluster. For more information on managed Coherence servers, see Configuring Managed Coherence Servers in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Clusters for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Note:

All Managed Servers in a domain must run the same version of WebLogic Server. The Administration Server can run either the same version as the Managed Servers in the domain, or a later patch set.

In addition to infrastructure components, a domain defines the basic network configuration for the server instances that it contains. Specifically, a domain defines application deployments, supported application services (such as database and messaging services), security options, and physical host machines.

Domain configuration information is stored in the configuration directories under the domain directory.

Common WebLogic Domain Configurations

You might find it useful to configure multiple WebLogic Domains based on specific criteria, such as system administrator responsibilities, the logical classification of applications, the geographical locations of servers, or size. The following table outlines the most common domain configurations.

Table 1-2 Common WebLogic Domain Configurations

Configuration

Description

Domain with Managed Servers

In typical production environments, several Managed Servers can host applications, and an Administration Server performs management operations.

Domain with Managed Servers and clusters

In production environments that require increased performance, throughput, or availability for an application, several Managed Servers might be grouped in a cluster.

In such a case, the WebLogic domain consists of one or more clusters with the applications they host, additional Managed Servers (if necessary), and an Administration Server to perform management operations.

Standalone server domain

In development or test environments, a single application server might be deployed independently without Managed Servers. In such a case, you can have a WebLogic domain consisting of a single Administration Server that also hosts the applications you want to test or develop.

Although a single server domain is typically used for development and test environments, this domain type is fully supported for production use and may be appropriate for light-load applications.

Note:

In production environments, Oracle recommends that you deploy applications only on Managed Servers, and that you reserve the Administration Server for management tasks.

For more information about WebLogic domains, see Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server Domains in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Domain Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server.

1.2 Overview of the Configuration Wizard

The Configuration Wizard helps create and update a WebLogic domain. The Configuration Wizard supports different GUI modes. When installing a standalone WebLogic Server, use the Quick Start Configuration Wizard to configure the WebLogic Server sample domains.

Before you can develop and run an application on a WebLogic domain, you must first create the WebLogic domain. The Configuration Wizard (illustrated in Figure 1-2), simplifies the process of creating and updating a domain.

Note:

If your domain includes Fusion Middleware products, you can use the Reconfiguration Wizard to reconfigure the Fusion Middleware applications in the domain when you upgrade to a new version of WebLogic Server and the applications. See Reconfiguring WebLogic Domains in Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrading Oracle WebLogic Server.

To create or extend a WebLogic domain by using the Configuration Wizard, you simply select the product components (product templates) to be included in the domain (or choose a template that best meets your requirements), and provide basic configuration information. The Configuration Wizard then creates or updates the domain by adding the resources defined in the selected product templates.

For more information about templates, see About Templates.

Figure 1-2 Configuration Wizard

After you use the Configuration Wizard to create a WebLogic domain, you can start a WebLogic Server instance in the domain to develop, test, and deploy applications.

Note:

The Domain Template Builder tool simplifies the process of creating templates by guiding you through the process of creating custom domain and extension templates. You can select these templates to create and update domains either by using the Configuration Wizard or the WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST). For information about the Domain Template Builder, see Introduction in Oracle Fusion Middleware Creating Domain Templates Using the Domain Template Builder. For information about creating domains using WLST, see Creating Domains Using WLST Offline in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool.

- Modes of Operation
The Configuration Wizard supports three modes of operation, namely Normal GUI mode, Quick Start mode, and Reconfiguration mode. You can use the Configuration Wizard only when there is no server running.

- Quick Start Configuration Wizard
The Quick Start Configuration Wizard helps you configure the sample domains that you when you install a standalone WebLogic Server. You can also run the Quick Start Wizard manually to create the sample domains.

- Output of the Configuration Wizard
A set of directories is automatically created when you create a WebLogic domain by using the Configuration Wizard. Each directory contains specific information about the domain that is created.

1.2.1 Modes of Operation

The Configuration Wizard supports three modes of operation, namely Normal GUI mode, Quick Start mode, and Reconfiguration mode. You can use the Configuration Wizard only when there is no server running.

- Normal GUI mode, which displays all of the applicable screens for configuring or extending your domain. See Starting the Configuration Wizard, for information about how to start the wizard in this mode.

- Quick Start mode, which displays a small subset of configuration screens from which you can specify the critical settings for the WebLogic Server samples domains. See Running the Quick Start Configuration Wizard.

- Reconfiguration mode, which is used to upgrade your WebLogic domain after installing a new WebLogic Server version and, if applicable, any installed Fusion Middleware applications to be compatible with a newly installed WebLogic Server version. For more information on this mode, see Reconfiguring a WebLogic Domain in Graphical Mode in Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrading Oracle WebLogic Server.

Note:

For a scripted, silent-mode method, you can use WLST. For more information, see Using the WebLogic Scripting Tool in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool.

1.2.2 Quick Start Configuration Wizard

The Quick Start Configuration Wizard helps you configure the sample domains that you when you install a standalone WebLogic Server. You can also run the Quick Start Wizard manually to create the sample domains.

When installing WebLogic Server (standalone), if you included the samples, an option is provided on the Installation Complete screen to run the Quick Start Configuration Wizard to configure the WebLogic Server sample domains. If you select this option, the Quick Start Configuration Wizard starts after the installer completes. In this mode, you are presented with one screen, Configuration, from which you specify the following critical settings for the samples domains:

- Administration Server username and password

- Domain parent directory

- Application parent directory

- Administration Server listen address and listen port

- SSL listen port

- Coherence listen port (if applicable)

The following Administration Server settings are enabled by default for the samples domains and cannot be changed:

- SSL

- Coherence

- Coherence storage

Note:

You can also run the Quick Start Wizard manually to create the sample domains. See Running the Quick Start Configuration Wizard.

1.2.3 Output of the Configuration Wizard

A set of directories is automatically created when you create a WebLogic domain by using the Configuration Wizard. Each directory contains specific information about the domain that is created.

Directory

Description

autodeploy

This directory provides a location from which you can deploy applications quickly on a development server. When the WebLogic Server instance is running in development mode, it automatically deploys any applications or modules that you place in this directory.

bin

This directory contains scripts to start and stop the Administration Server, and, optionally, Managed Servers.

config

This directory contains:

- A domain-specific configuration file, config.xml, which specifies the name of the WebLogic domain and the configuration parameter settings for each server instance, cluster, resource, and service in the domain.

- Subdirectories that contain the configuration for various system modules: coherence, configCache, deployments, diagnostics, jdbc, jms, lib, nodemanager, security, and startup. These subdirectories contain configuration files that are incorporated, by reference, into the config.xml file.

Note: Depending on your configuration, some subdirectories may not exist.

console-ext

This directory contains console extensions used by the Administration Server.

init-info

This directory contains files used by the Configuration Wizard to support creation and extension of the WebLogic domain.

lib

This directory contains the domain library. When the server starts, any jar files that you place in this directory are dynamically added to the end of the server classpath.

nodemanager

This directory contains Node Manager configuration files.

security

This directory contains common security files for all the servers in the domain.

servers

This directory contains a subdirectory for each server in the domain. These server subdirectories, in turn, contain subdirectories that hold directories and files specific to each server in a WebLogic domain, such as bin, cache, data, logs, security, and tmp.

user_staged_config

If the domain is configured to be user-staged, that is, the administrator is responsible for staging (copying) the configuration information to the Managed Servers, this directory provides an alternative to the config directory.

If the template used to create a WebLogic domain includes applications, the application files are located, by default, in ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/applications/domain_name, unless you specified another location.

Note:

Oracle recommends that you create your domains outside of the Oracle Home directory. This makes it easier for you to upgrade to a newer version of WebLogic Server without having to recreate your domains and applications.

For more information, see Domain Configuration Files in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Domain Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server

1.3 About Templates

In the context of the Configuration Wizard, the term template refers to a Java Archive (JAR) file, which contains the files and scripts required to create or extend a WebLogic domain. A WebLogic Server product installation includes a set of predefined domain and extension templates.

The types of templates that the Configuration Wizard uses to create or update WebLogic domains include:

- Domain template: This type of template defines the full set of resources within a WebLogic domain, including infrastructure components, applications, services, security options, and general environment and operating system options. You can create this type of template from an existing WebLogic domain by using the Domain Template Builder tool or the pack command. Subsequently, you can create a WebLogic domain based on the template by using the Configuration Wizard.
The product distribution includes a base WebLogic domain template. A domain template defines the core set of resources within a domain, including

- An Administration Server and basic configuration information

- Infrastructure components

- General environment and operating system requirements.

The domain templates provided by Oracle do not include sample applications, although domain templates that were created using the pack command may contain sample applications if they were installed in the domain that was packed. You can use a domain template to create a basic WebLogic domain, which you can then extend with applications and services, or additional product components.

- Extension template: Whereas a domain template can create a self-sufficient WebLogic domain, you use an extension template to add functionality to an existing domain. In the Configuration Wizard, before selecting the extension template to use, you must select the WebLogic domain you want to extend.

- Reconfiguration template: Reconfiguration templates are provided by Oracle to make it easier for you to update a domain that contains Fusion Middleware products. These templates are automatically applied, and your Fusion Middleware applications are automatically updated, when you use the Reconfiguration Wizard as part of the process for upgrading to a new version of WebLogic Server and Fusion Middleware products. The Reconfiguration Wizard detects which Fusion Middleware products are installed, and, if a reconfiguration template is available for a given product, automatically applies it. For more information, see Reconfiguring WebLogic Domains in Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrading Oracle WebLogic Server.

- Managed Server template: This type of template defines the subset of resources within a WebLogic domain that are required to create a Managed Server domain on a remote machine. You can create this type of template by using the pack command.

The WebLogic Server product installation includes the base WebLogic domain template and various extension templates that allow you to add component features and samples to the base domain. For more information about these templates and how they relate to each other, see WebLogic Server Templates in Oracle Fusion Middleware Domain Template Reference.

1.4 Additional Tools for Creating, Extending, and Managing WebLogic Domains

In addition to the Configuration Wizard, different tools are available to create, extend, and manage domains. You can also perform run-time configuration by using the consoles of the product components (for example, the WebLogic Server Administration Console).

Table 1-3 Additional Tools for Creating, Extending, and Managing WebLogic Domains

To do this

Use the following tools

Create a WebLogic domain or extend an existing domain

- WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST)
WLST is a command-line scripting interface that you can use to interact with and configure WebLogic Server instances and domains. When WLST is offline, it enables you to create a WebLogic domain or update an existing domain without connecting to a running WebLogic Server, supporting the same functionality as the Configuration Wizard.

For more information, see Using the WebLogic Scripting Tool in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool.

- unpack command
You can use this command to create a WebLogic domain from the command line, by using a template that is compatible with your current installation. You cannot use unpack to extend an existing domain.

For more information, see The Unpack Command in Oracle Fusion Middleware Creating Templates and Domains Using the Pack and Unpack Commands.

Add applications and services, or modify existing settings

- WebLogic Server Administration Console
For more information, see Using the WebLogic Server Administration Console in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server.

- Other system administration tools, such as WLST, JMX, and Ant.
For more information, see Summary of System Administration Tools and APIs in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server.

Manage and monitor the health and status of the domain

- WebLogic Diagnostics Framework (WLDF)
For more information, see Using the Built-in Diagnostic System Modules in Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuring and Using the Diagnostics Framework for Oracle WebLogic Server.

- WebLogic Server Administration Console
For more information, see About the WebLogic Server Administration Console in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server.

- WebLogic Server Node Manager
For more information, see Starting an Administration Server Using WLST and Node Manager in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Server Startup and Shutdown for Oracle WebLogic Server and Introduction in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Node Manager for Oracle WebLogic Server.

2 Creating a WebLogic Domain

You can create a new WebLogic domain by using the Configuration Wizard in the graphical mode. Depending on your domain requirements and customizations, the Configuration Wizard takes you through a series of screens during the domain creation process.

This chapter includes the following sections:

- Setting the CONFIG_JVM_ARGS Environment Variable
Before starting the Configuration Wizard, you must set a value for the CONFIG_JVM_ARGS environment variable. Setting the appropriate value for the variable enables you to specify the type of domain you want to create, whether expanded or compact.

- Domain Creation Process
You can use the Configuration Wizard to create a WebLogic domain, by selecting either the product components to include in your domain or the template JAR files. If necessary, you can also customize the domain to suit your environment.

- Domain Version Restrictions
You must be aware of the restrictions when you use a custom template to create a domain. This awareness will help you create or upgrade to the required version of the WebLogic domain.

- Starting the Configuration Wizard
You can start the Configuration Wizard in the graphical mode either from the Windows Start menu or from the command line. The console for the machine on which the product installation resides must support Java-based GUIs.

- Creating a WebLogic Domain in the Graphical Mode
Use the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode to create a WebLogic domain. The Configuration Wizard takes you through a series of screens that help you create a WebLogic Server domain. Additional screens appear depending on the components that you add for the domain, and other factors.

- Starting the Administration Server
You can start the Administration Server after you finish creating the domain. You can start the server by using either the WebLogic Server Administration Console or the command line.

- Running the Quick Start Configuration Wizard
The Quick Start Configuration Wizard helps you configure the sample domains and the Fusion Middleware product domains that use the Derby (JavaDB) database driver. You can run the wizard automatically or manually depending on the domain type (sample or product) you want to configure.

2.1 Setting the CONFIG_JVM_ARGS Environment Variable

Before starting the Configuration Wizard, you must set a value for the CONFIG_JVM_ARGS environment variable. Setting the appropriate value for the variable enables you to specify the type of domain you want to create, whether expanded or compact.

Set the value to -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom to reduce the time the Configuration Wizard takes to create or update a domain.

In addition, if you want to create a compact domain on either Windows or Linux, set -Dcom.oracle.cie.config.showProfile=true in CONFIG_JVM_ARGS.

This causes domain profile selections (compact and expanded) to be displayed on the Configuration Type screen of the Configuration Wizard. For more information on domain profiles, see Domain Topology Profiles in Oracle Fusion Middleware Domain Template Reference.

2.2 Domain Creation Process

You can use the Configuration Wizard to create a WebLogic domain, by selecting either the product components to include in your domain or the template JAR files. If necessary, you can also customize the domain to suit your environment.

Table 2-1 shows the sequence of screens that are presented by the Configuration Wizard. The screens that you see depend on your domain requirements and whether or not you need to customize your domain.

You may want to customize your domain in the following circumstances:

- To create a multi-server or clustered domain when using the default settings. All the predefined WebLogic Server templates (those delivered with WebLogic Server) create single-server domains.

- To use a database that is different from the default database in the domain or extension template. In this case, you must customize the JDBC settings to point to the appropriate database.

- To customize the listen port and the SSL port.

- To create a test environment by using a domain template that you received, and to modify the domain configuration to work in the test environment based on your requirements.

2.3 Domain Version Restrictions

You must be aware of the restrictions when you use a custom template to create a domain. This awareness will help you create or upgrade to the required version of the WebLogic domain.

You can use a custom template by using either WLST or the Create Domain Using Custom Template option on the Templates screen of the Configuration Wizard.

- The versions of the WebLogic Server templates that were used to create the custom domain and custom domain template must be the same version as the WebLogic Server installation in which the domain will be used. For example, if you created a WebLogic domain using the WebLogic Server Base Domain 10.3.6 template, and then created a custom domain template from that domain, you cannot use the custom domain template to create a domain in a WebLogic Server 12.2.1 installation.

- If you want to create a custom domain template that was created from a domain from a previous version of WebLogic Server, you must first upgrade that domain to the WebLogic Server version in which you want to use the domain. You can upgrade the domain using either WLST or the Fusion Middleware Reconfiguration Wizard as described in Reconfiguration Wizard Screens in Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrading Oracle WebLogic Server.

For more information about domain version restrictions, see Domain Restrictions in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Domain Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server.

2.4 Starting the Configuration Wizard

You can start the Configuration Wizard in the graphical mode either from the Windows Start menu or from the command line. The console for the machine on which the product installation resides must support Java-based GUIs.

- To start the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode on a Windows platform, choose Start > All Programs > Oracle > Oracle Home > WebLogic Server version > Tools > Configuration Wizard.

- To start the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode from a Windows command prompt or on UNIX systems:

1. Log in to the system on which the product is installed.

2. Open an MS-DOS command prompt window (on Windows) or a command shell (on UNIX).

3. Go to the following directory:
On Windows: ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin

On UNIX: ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin

Replace ORACLE_HOME with the Oracle Home directory that was specified at installation.

4. Execute the following command:
On Windows: config.cmd

On UNIX: sh config.sh

Note:

When you run the config.cmd or config.sh command, the following error message might be displayed to indicate that the default cache directory is not valid:

*sys-package-mgr*: can't create package cache dir

You can change the cache directory by including the -Dpython.cachedir=valid_directory option in the command line.

To create a log file of the Configuration Wizard session, include the -log=config.log -log_priority=debug parameter in the command. You can specify any file name for the log file, such as config_today.log. The log file is stored in the logs directory of the Oracle Home directory. Other valid values for log_priority are OFF, SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, FINEST, and ALL.

The Configuration Type screen is displayed.

2.5 Creating a WebLogic Domain in the Graphical Mode

Use the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode to create a WebLogic domain. The Configuration Wizard takes you through a series of screens that help you create a WebLogic Server domain. Additional screens appear depending on the components that you add for the domain, and other factors.

Start the Configuration Wizard as described in Starting the Configuration Wizard.

Note:

In situations where you cannot run the Configuration Wizard in GUI mode, Oracle recommends that you use a WLST script to create or extend a domain. For more information, see Creating and Using a Domain Template (Offline) in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool.

If your installation includes Fusion Middleware products, refer to Configuring Fusion Middleware Domains, for instructions. Fusion Middleware product configuration includes additional Configuration Wizard screens that are not included in the workflow in this chapter.

The Configuration Wizard displays a sequence of screens, in the order listed in Table 2-1. For more information on each screen, refer to the related section in Configuration Wizard Screens, or click the link in the Screen column.

For more information on the various methods you can use to start the Administration Server, see Starting and Stopping Servers in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Server Startup and Shutdown for Oracle WebLogic Server.

2.7 Running the Quick Start Configuration Wizard

The Quick Start Configuration Wizard helps you configure the sample domains and the Fusion Middleware product domains that use the Derby (JavaDB) database driver. You can run the wizard automatically or manually depending on the domain type (sample or product) you want to configure.

- To configure the various sample domains, such as MedRec and the Examples Server, in your WebLogic Server installation, run the wizard by selecting the Automatically Launch Quick Start Configuration Wizard option on the Installation Complete screen of the WebLogic Server installer.

- To configure Fusion Middleware product domains, run the wizard manually as described in this section. Schema JARs that are provided with the product will be used to populate a domain_home/common/db directory.

Note:

The Quick Start Configuration Wizard supports only the Derby (JavaDB) database driver. If you are using another database, you cannot use the Quick Start Configuration Wizard to create your domain.

Prior to manually running the Configuration Wizard in Quick Start mode, you must set the CONFIG_JVM_ARGS environment variable to specify the full path and JAR file name for each template that you want to use for the domain. For the location and filename of templates provided by Oracle for WebLogic Server and other Fusion Middleware products, see the following resources in Oracle Fusion Middleware Domain Template Reference.

- WebLogic Server Templates

- Fusion Middleware Product Templates

Windows

To set CONFIG_JVM_ARGS on a Windows system:

set CONFIG_JVM_ARGS="-DuserTemplates=template1,template2,template3, ..., templaten"

The following example uses the WebLogic Server base domain template and the Web Services JAX-WS template to create the domain:

set CONFIG_JVM_ARGS="-DuserTemplates=C:/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver/common/
templates/wls/wls.jar,C:/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver/common/templates/
wls/wls_webservice_jaxws.jar"

To run the Configuration Wizard in Quick Start mode on Windows systems, enter the following commands, where ORACLE_HOME is your Oracle home directory:

cd ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin
config.cmd -target=config-oneclick

UNIX

To set CONFIG_JVM_ARGS on a UNIX or Linux system:

export CONFIG_JVM_ARGS="-DuserTemplates=template1,template2,template3, ..., templaten"

The following example uses the WebLogic Server base domain template and the Web Services JAX-WS template to create the domain:

export CONFIG_JVM_ARGS="-DuserTemplates=/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver/common/
templates/wls/wls.jar,/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver/common/templates/
wls/wls_webservice_jaxws.jar"

To run the Configuration Wizard in Quick Start mode on UNIX systems, enter the following commands, where ORACLE_HOME is your Oracle home directory:

cd ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin
config.sh -target=config-oneclick

- Using Quick Start to Create the WebLogic Sample Domains
The Quick Start Wizard helps you create the WebLogic sample domains during the installation process. You can also run the wizard at a later time by running it from the command line.

2.7.1 Using Quick Start to Create the WebLogic Sample Domains

The Quick Start Wizard helps you create the WebLogic sample domains during the installation process. You can also run the wizard at a later time by running it from the command line.

If you are running the wizard from the command line, you must create the sample domains one at a time. This requires you to run the Quick Start Wizard three times to create all three domains.

Refer to Table 2-5 for the templates that you must include in the CONFIG_JVM_ARGS variable to create each domain. For example, to create the WebLogic Server Examples domain, enter the following commands, substituting your WebLogic Server home directory for WL_HOME:

set CONFIG_JVM_ARGS="-DuserTemplates=WL_HOME/common/
templates/wls/wls.jar,WL_HOME/common/templates/wls/wls_default.jar,
WL_HOME/common/templates/wls/wls_examples_jaxws.jar"

cd ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin
config.sh -target=config-oneclick

3 Updating WebLogic Domains

The update process enables you to add product component functionality or additional applications and services to an existing WebLogic domain. You can update a domain by using the Configuration Wizard.

Note:

To update a WebLogic domain that includes other Fusion Middleware products in addition to WebLogic Server, see Updating a WebLogic Domain That Includes Fusion Middleware Products.

For example, if you created a base WebLogic domain and you want to add Advanced Web Services for JAX-WS, you can select the WebLogic Advanced Web Services for JAX-WS Extension template on the Templates screen. You can also use the Configuration Wizard to change your domain configuration without adding additional applications. For example, you may want to add additional Managed Servers and clusters, or you may want to change service targeting or migratable target settings.

Note:

You can only update a domain that was created by the same WebLogic Server installation from which you run the Configuration Wizard. That is, the domain you are updating must be registered in the domain-registry.xml file of your WebLogic Server installation. You cannot update a domain that was created by another WebLogic Server installation.

Prior to updating a domain that was created with an earlier release of WebLogic Server, you must use the Reconfiguration Wizard to reconfigure the domain. Doing so updates the domain to be compatible with the current WebLogic Server release, and registers the domain in your current WebLogic Server installation. For more information, see Reconfiguring WebLogic Domains in Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrading Oracle WebLogic Server.

The Configuration Wizard simplifies the task of updating an existing WebLogic domain by using extension templates. Oracle provides various sample extension templates, as well as extension templates for various Fusion Middleware products. You can also create your own extension templates using WLST or the unpack command.

For information about extension templates provided by Oracle, see Types of Templates in Oracle Fusion Middleware Domain Template Reference.

This chapter includes the following sections:

- Before You Begin
Set the value of the environment variable CONFIG_JVM_ARGS to reduce the time it takes for the Configuration Wizard to create or update a domain.

- Domain Update Process
You can update a domain by adding additional product components to the domain or by specifying an extension template JAR file.

- Updating a WebLogic Domain in Graphical Mode
Use the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode to update a WebLogic Domain. The Configuration Wizard takes you through a series of screens that help you update a WebLogic Server domain.

- Updating Startup Scripts on Remote Servers
When you update a WebLogic domain in which the Managed Servers are distributed (by using the pack and unpack commands) to remote machines, the startup scripts on the remote machines are not updated automatically. You must update them manually.

3.1 Before You Begin

Set the value of the environment variable CONFIG_JVM_ARGS to reduce the time it takes for the Configuration Wizard to create or update a domain.

Prior to running the Configuration Wizard to update a domain on a UNIX or Linux operating system, if you have not already done so, set the CONFIG_JVM_ARGS environment variable to the following value:

-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom

3.2 Domain Update Process

You can update a domain by adding additional product components to the domain or by specifying an extension template JAR file.

To update a WebLogic domain, select the domain to update and, if you want to add additional products to the domain, select one or more additional product components on the Templates screen. Alternatively, you can update an existing domain by specifying an extension template JAR file that includes additional applications and services, or defines additional components (such as Managed Servers and clusters). You can also customize the JDBC connections and change the JMS file store. The Configuration Wizard uses your input to update the configuration files, such as config.xml, and all other generated components in the domain directory, as required.

3.3 Updating a WebLogic Domain in Graphical Mode

Use the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode to update a WebLogic Domain. The Configuration Wizard takes you through a series of screens that help you update a WebLogic Server domain.

To update a new WebLogic Domain by using the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode, start the Configuration Wizard as described in Starting the Configuration Wizard.

Note:

In situations where you cannot run the Configuration Wizard in GUI mode, Oracle recommends that you use a WLST script to create or update a domain. For more information, see Creating and Using a Domain Template (Offline) in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool.

If your installation includes Fusion Middleware products, refer to Configuring Fusion Middleware Domains, for instructions. Fusion Middleware product configuration includes additional Configuration Wizard screens that are not included in the workflow in this chapter.

5 Configuration Wizard Screens

The Configuration Wizard helps you create and update a WebLogic domain. During the process, it takes you through a sequence of screens depending on your domain requirements and your customization needs.

This chapter includes the following sections:

- Configuration Type
When creating a new domain, you can select the domain profile type depending on whether or not you have set the CONFIG_JVM_ARGS environment variable. If the variable is set, you can create an expanded or a compact domain. If the variable is not set, the profile options are not available.

- Configuration
The Configuration screen helps you configure the WebLogic Server sample domains. This screen appears only if you run the Quick Start Configuration Wizard at the end of the WebLogic Server installation process or if you run the wizard from the command line.

- Templates
You can use this screen to create or extend a domain that is configured automatically to support selected products, or to create or extend a domain based on an existing domain or application template.

- Application Location
In this screen, you must specify the full path to the directory in which you want to store the applications that are associated with the domain.

- Administrator Account
Use this screen to define the default WebLogic Administrator account for the domain. This account is used to boot and connect to the domain's Administration Server.

- Domain Mode and JDK
You have the option to specify whether you want to run WebLogic in the Production mode or in the Development mode. You can then specify the JDK for the domain.

- Database Configuration Type
This screen and the subsequent schema configuration screens are displayed only for WebLogic Server installations that include the Fusion Middleware infrastructure components.

- JDBC Component Schema
For some Fusion Middleware components, the JDBC data sources may be defined as part of the component's database schema. These data sources are loaded during installation of the component by using the Repository Creation Utility (RCU).

- GridLink Oracle RAC Component Schema
Use this screen to configure the component schemas that are included in your WebLogic domain as GridLink RAC data sources. A GridLink data source is a single data source that represents a service that responds to Fast Application Notification (FAN) events.

- Oracle RAC Multi Data Source Component Schema
In this screen, you can configure the component schemas that are included in the WebLogic domain as Oracle RAC multi data sources.

- JDBC Component Schema Test
Use this screen to test the configurations that you specified for the data sources in the Oracle RAC Multi Data Source Component Schema screen.

- JDBC Data Sources
A JDBC data source contains a pool of database connections that are created when the data source instance is created — when it is deployed or targeted, or at server startup.

- GridLink Oracle RAC Data Sources
A GridLink data source is a single data source that represents a service that responds to the Fast Application Notification (FAN) events. Use this screen to configure the data sources that are included in the WebLogic domain, as GridLink Oracle RAC data sources.

- Oracle RAC Multi Data Sources
Use this screen to configure the data sources that are included in the domain as Oracle RAC data sources.

- JDBC Data Sources Test
You can use this screen to test the data source connections that you configured in the JDBC Data Sources and the Oracle RAC Multi Data Sources screens.

- Dynamic Servers
This screen lists each of the clusters that you have created in the current configuration session. You can designate one or more of these clusters to be a dynamic cluster.

- Assign Servers to Clusters
You can use this screen to assign Managed Servers to clusters. Only Managed Servers are displayed in the Server list box. The Administration Server is not listed because it cannot be assigned to a cluster.

- HTTP Proxy Applications
An HTTP proxy application acts as an intermediary for HTTP requests. Use this screen to create an HTTP proxy application for each cluster, and specify the Managed Server on which the proxy application must be deployed.

- Coherence Clusters
This screen is displayed only if you have included Coherence in the WebLogic Server installation. It lists the Coherence clusters that are automatically added to the domain.

- Machines
In a WebLogic domain, the machine definitions identify physical units of hardware and are associated with the WebLogic Server instances or system components (such as OHS servers) that they host. Use this screen to add or delete machines, or to modify the settings for an existing machine.

- Assign Servers to Machines
You can use this screen to assign the WebLogic Server instances to each of the machines you defined in the Machines screen of the Configuration Wizard.

5.1 Configuration Type

When creating a new domain, you can select the domain profile type depending on whether or not you have set the CONFIG_JVM_ARGS environment variable. If the variable is set, you can create an expanded or a compact domain. If the variable is not set, the profile options are not available.

There are two versions of this screen:

- Configuration Type - No Profiles

- Configuration Type - Profiles

5.1.1 Configuration Type - No Profiles

This screen helps you create a domain or update an existing domain.

Option/Field

Description

Create a new domain

Select this option if you want to create a new domain. Typically, the new domain will be based on the WebLogic Server Basic Domain, which includes an Administration Server and the default security realm myrealm. You may, however, choose to use your own domain template to create the domain; your domain template must contain at least an Administration Server.

Update an existing domain

Select this option if you already have a WebLogic domain, and you want to add resources to that domain.

Note: You can only update domains that were created or reconfigured using the WebLogic Server installation from which you ran the Configuration Wizard. You cannot update domains that were created using other installations of WebLogic Server. If you specify a domain that was not created with the current installation, an error is displayed when you click Next.

Domain Location

If you selected a Create option, enter the full path for the domain or use the Browse button to navigate to the directory in which your domains are located. If you do so, you must enter a unique directory name for the new domain at the end of the path.

Note: Oracle recommends that you create your domain directories outside of the Oracle home directory.

If you selected the Update option, use the Browse button to navigate to the domain that you want to update. If multiple domains exit in this installation, this field contains a drop-down list of the domains, and you can select the domain that you want to update.

5.1.2 Configuration Type - Profiles

From this screen, you can select whether to create a domain (expanded or compact) or update an existing domain. When creating a domain, the selection you make is permanent and cannot be changed later. The default is an expanded domain. Compact domains, if defined in a product template, are typically used only for development environments with limited hardware resources, but may also be used for some Fusion Middleware product domains such as OHS domains.

Note:

If you are creating a domain that will not include Fusion Middleware components installed with WebLogic Server, always create an expanded domain. Compact domain profiles are defined only for some Fusion Middleware components.

Compact domains are not available for all WebLogic domains that include Fusion Middleware components. If these domain types are defined in the templates you are using to create the domain, your selection determines the server groups that are available for your Managed Servers and the applications and services that are mapped to those server groups. When you are creating your domain, some of the templates you select may have expanded and compact profiles defined, while others may not.

For more information on domain profiles and server groups, see Domain Profile Types in Oracle Fusion Middleware Domain Template Reference

Option/Field

Description

Create new expanded domain

Select this option for production environments to create a new expanded domain which includes clusters and Managed Servers. Typically, the new domain will be based on the WebLogic Server Basic Domain, which includes an Administration Server and the default security realm myrealm. You may, however, choose to use your own domain template to create the domain; your domain template must contain at least an Administration Server.

You can add as many clusters and Managed Servers to an expanded domain as needed.

Create new compact domain

Select this option if you want to create a new compact domain. Compact domains contain only a single server instance (the Administration Server) and cannot be expanded to include clusters and Managed Servers.

Some Fusion Middleware templates define a compact domain topology profile. If used to create a compact domain, some or all of the application service groups defined in the template are targeted to the Administration Server.

Update existing domain

Select this option if you already have a WebLogic domain, and you want to add resources to that domain.

Note: You can only update domains that were created or reconfigured using the WebLogic Server installation from which you ran the Configuration Wizard. You cannot update domains that were created using other installations of WebLogic Server. If you specify a domain that was not created with the current installation, an error is displayed when you click Next.

Domain Location

If you selected a Create option, enter the full path for the domain, or use the Browse button to navigate to the directory in which your domains are located. If you do so, you must enter a unique directory name for the new domain at the end of the path.

Note: Oracle recommends that you create your domain directories outside of the Oracle home directory.

If you selected the Update option, use the Browse button to navigate to the domain that you want to update. If multiple domains exit in this installation, this field contains a drop-down list of the domains, and you can select the domain that you want to update.

5.2 Configuration

The Configuration screen helps you configure the WebLogic Server sample domains. This screen appears only if you run the Quick Start Configuration Wizard at the end of the WebLogic Server installation process or if you run the wizard from the command line.

5.3 Templates

You can use this screen to create or extend a domain that is configured automatically to support selected products, or to create or extend a domain based on an existing domain or application template.

Each template in the displayed list is associated with a single product template (a JAR file) which configures the required domain resources for the product. If the selected template has dependencies on other templates, the dependency templates are automatically selected or included in the domain.

Note:

Positioning the cursor over a template displays a description of the template, its location, and the name of the template JAR file.

See Template Dependencies in Oracle Fusion Middleware Domain Template Reference for more information.

Option

Description

Create Domain Using Product Templates

This option is available only when you create a new domain.

By default, the Basic WebLogic Server Domain option is selected and cannot be cleared.

Select the check boxes that correspond to the other products that you want to include in the domain. If you select a product that is dependent on resources provided by another product or products in the list, those products are also selected automatically. If you select a product that is incompatible with another selected product, an error is displayed.

When you click Next, if any of the selected templates require resources provided by another product that is not selected, a warning dialog box is displayed. Return to the Templates screen to select the dependency product before proceeding.

Update Domain Using Product Templates

This option is available only if you selected Update an existing domain on the initial screen.

Select the check boxes for the products to add to your WebLogic domain. The products already included in your domain are indicated by grayed-out check boxes. You cannot deselect these.

When you click Next, if any of the selected templates require resources provided by another product that is not selected, a warning dialog box is displayed. Return to the Templates screen to select the dependency product before proceeding.

Note: When extending a domain, you are not required to select additional products before proceeding. For example, you do not have to select any products if you only want to add servers or clusters to your domain, or change service targeting.

Template Categories

You can filter the displayed list of templates by selecting one or more of the listed categories. At least one category must be selected.

Create Domain Using Custom Template

Select this option if you want to create a domain by using an existing custom domain template. Enter the full path to the template JAR file in the Template location field, or click Browse to navigate to the directory containing the required template. The template you select must define at least an Administration Server.

When you click Next, if the selected template requires resources provided by another template, a warning dialog box is displayed. You must create the domain using the required template first. After doing so, extend the domain using the template you initially selected.

Update Domain Using Custom Template

This option is available only if you selected Extend and Existing Domain on the initial screen.

Select this option if you want to extend your domain using an existing custom extension template. Specify the path to the extension template JAR file in the Template location field or click Browse to navigate to the directory containing the extension template.

You can use this option only in the following situations:

- The template JAR you select is a domain template.

- The template JAR you select is an extension template that is being added to a domain that already includes all dependency templates required by the extension template.

When you click Next, if the selected template requires resources provided by another template that is not already included in the domain, a configuration error is displayed. You must first create or extend the domain using the required template. After doing so, extend the domain using the template you initially selected.

5.4 Application Location

In this screen, you must specify the full path to the directory in which you want to store the applications that are associated with the domain.

You can use the Browse button to navigate to a top-level directory, and then type in the remainder of the application path.

As with domain directories, Oracle recommends that you store your applications in an application directory outside of your Oracle home directory.

5.5 Administrator Account

Use this screen to define the default WebLogic Administrator account for the domain. This account is used to boot and connect to the domain's Administration Server.

Specify the following details to create the account:

Field

Description

Name

The login username for the WebLogic Administrator account.

The username must not contain commas, tabs, or any of the following characters:

< > # | & ? ( ) { }

User password

The password for the WebLogic Administrator account. The password must be at least eight characters, and must contain at least one numeric character or at least one of the following characters:

! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~

Confirm user password

Enter the same user password. An error is displayed if the two entries do not match.

5.6 Domain Mode and JDK

You have the option to specify whether you want to run WebLogic in the Production mode or in the Development mode. You can then specify the JDK for the domain.

Domain Mode

In the Domain mode section of the screen, specify the following:

Option

Description

Development

In this mode, the security configuration is relatively relaxed. Username and password are required to deploy applications.

Production

In this mode, the security configuration is relatively stringent, requiring a username and password to deploy applications and to start the Administration Server. Before putting a domain into production, familiarize yourself with procedures for securing a production environment.

For more information, see Ensuring the Security of Your Production Environment in Oracle Fusion Middleware Securing a Production Environment for Oracle WebLogic Server.

The following table provides more details on the differences between development mode and production mode:

Table 5-1 Differences Between Development and Production Modes

Feature

Development Mode

Production Mode

SSL

You can use the demonstration digital certificates and the demonstration keystores provided by the WebLogic Server security services. With these certificates, you can design your application to work within environments secured by SSL.

For more information, see Overview of Configuring SSL in WebLogic Server in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Security for Oracle WebLogic Server.

You must not use the demonstration digital certificates and the demonstration keystores. If you do so, a warning message is displayed.

Deploying applications

WebLogic Server instances can deploy and update applications that reside in the domain_name/autodeploy directory automatically.

Oracle recommends that you use this method only in a single-server development environment.

For more information, see Deploying Applications and Modules with weblogic.deployer in Oracle Fusion Middleware Deploying Applications to Oracle WebLogic Server.

The auto-deployment feature is disabled. You must use the WebLogic Server Administration Console, the weblogic.deployer tool, or the WebLogic Scripting Tool.

Log file rotation

By default, when you start the WebLogic Server instance, the server automatically renames (rotates) its local server log file as SERVER-NAME.log.n. For the remainder of the server session, messages accumulate in the log file until the file grows to a size of 500 kilobytes.

For more information, see Rotate Log Files in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help.

The default value of the Limit number of retained files setting in Logging Configuration is true. This limits the number of log files that the server instance creates to store old messages.

The server rotates the local log file after the size of the file reaches 5000 kilobytes.

When the server is configured for production mode, by default, all versions of the log files are kept. Administrators may want to customize the number of log files that are retained.

The default value of the Limit number of retained files setting in Logging Configuration is false. The server creates new log files indefinitely, and you must clean up those files as needed.

boot.properties

A boot.properties file is created, which allows you to boot the server without specifying a username and password.

A boot.properties file is not created.

JDK

Use the JDK section to select the JDK for the domain. Select only a JDK that is supported on the platform you are using. For a list of the JDKs that are supported for a specific platform, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations on Oracle Technology Network.

Option

Description

JDK

Lists the JDK that was used when you installed WebLogic Server. The default JDK is Oracle Hotspot SDK version, but you may have installed and used another JDK during installation.

Other JDK

Select this option to use a JDK other than the one that you used when you installed WebLogic Server. Use the Browse button to navigate to the directory where the JDK resides.

If you select the JDK that you used when you installed WebLogic Server, the Configuration Wizard creates server startup scripts to invoke that JDK. If you select a JDK that you did not use when you installed WebLogic Server, the Configuration Wizard does not configure the startup scripts; you must change the startup scripts manually.

For more information about startup scripts, see Setting Java Parameters for Starting WebLogic Server in Oracle Fusion Middleware Tuning Performance of Oracle WebLogic Server.

5.7 Database Configuration Type

This screen and the subsequent schema configuration screens are displayed only for WebLogic Server installations that include the Fusion Middleware infrastructure components.

You can use this screen to specify the information for connecting to the database to retrieve schema information that will be used to populate the schema fields on subsequent component schema screens (JDBC Component Schema, GridLink Oracle RAC Component Schema, or Oracle RAC Multi Data Source Component Schema). You also have the option to skip this step and manually configure each component schema on the component schema screen.

Select one of the following options.

Field

Description

RCU Data

Select this option if you want to connect to the database to retrieve schema information for all schemas that are defined in the templates you selected on the Templates screen. If you select this option, the fields on this screen are activated.

5.21 Administration Server

The Administration Server is the central point from which you manage your domain. You can use this screen to configure or change the Administration Server settings.

You can access the Administration Server by using the URL protocol://listen-address:listen-port. This is the network channel for the Administration Server. Note that the network channel for each Administration Server must be unique. The protocol can be any of the following: t3, t3s, http, https.

You can configure or change the following Administration Server settings:

Field/Option

Description

Server Name

The default name is AdminServer. Valid server names are a string of characters (alphabetic and numeric).

Each server instance in a production environment must have a unique name, regardless of the domain or cluster in which it resides, and regardless of whether it is an Administration Server or a Managed Server. The name of the Administration Server must be unique among all component names within the WebLogic domain.

This value is specified only for identification purposes. It is not used as part of the URL for applications that are deployed on the server. The server name is displayed in the WebLogic Server Administration Console. If you use WebLogic Server command-line utilities or APIs, you must specify this name to identify the server.

Listen address

From the drop-down list, select a value for the listen address.

For more information, see Specifying the Listen Address.

Listen port

Enter a valid value for the listen port to be used for regular, nonsecure requests (through protocols such as HTTP and T3). The default value is 7001 for the Administration Server. The valid listen port range is from 1 to 65535.

For more information, see Specifying the Listen Port.

Enable SSL

Select this check box to enable the SSL listen port. By default, SSL is disabled for all new servers.

SSL listen port

This field is enabled only if you selected the SSL enabled check box.

Enter a valid value to be used for secure requests (through protocols such as HTTPS and T3S). The default value is 7002. If you leave this field blank, the default value is used. The valid listen port range is from 1 to 65535.

By default, a server instance uses demonstration certificates to authenticate requests from a secure port. In a production environment, you must configure SSL to use certificates from a certificate authority.

For more information, see SSL: An Introduction in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Security for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Server Groups

This drop-down list is displayed only if at least one selected template defines a user-expandable server group.

You have the option to assign a user-expandable server group to the Administration Server, causing all application service groups that are defined for that server group to be assigned to the Administration Server.

For more information on server groups, see config-groups.xml and startup-plan.xml in Oracle Fusion Middleware Domain Template Reference.

- Specifying the Listen Address

- Specifying the Listen Port

5.21.1 Specifying the Listen Address

This section provides guidelines for specifying the listen address for the Administration Server. These guidelines also apply to all Managed Servers.

If you select localhost as the listen address for a server instance, remote processes cannot connect to that server instance. Only processes on the machine that hosts the server instance can connect to the server instance. If the server instance must be accessible as localhost (for example, if you create administrative scripts that connect to localhost), and it must also be accessible by remote processes, select All Local Addresses. The server instance determines the address of the machine and listens on it.

The following table describes the behavior of each listen address type.

Type

Description

All Local Addresses or a DNS name

On multi-homed Windows machines, a server instance binds to all available IP addresses.

An IP address or a DNS name

When using an IP address or DNS name

- To connect to the server instance, processes can specify either the IP address or the corresponding DNS name

- Processes that specify localhost fail to connect

- You must update existing processes that use localhost to connect to the server instance

- For connections that specify the IP address for the listen address and a secured port for the listen port, host name verification must be disabled.

Note: To resolve a DNS name to an IP address, WebLogic Server must be able to contact an appropriate DNS server or obtain the IP address mapping locally. Therefore, if you specify a DNS name for the listen address, you must either leave a port open long enough for the WebLogic Server instance to connect to a DNS server and cache its mapping or you must specify the IP address mapping in a local file. If you specify an IP address for the listen address, and a client request then specifies a DNS name, WebLogic Server attempts to resolve the DNS name. If it cannot access DNS name mapping, the request fails.

localhost

When using localhost

- Processes must specify localhost to connect to the server instance

- Only processes that reside on the machine that hosts the server instance (local processes) can connect to the server instance.

5.21.2 Specifying the Listen Port

Note the following guidelines when specifying the listen port for the Administration Server. These guidelines also apply to Managed Servers.

- Although you can specify any valid port number, if you specify port 80, you can omit the port number from the HTTP request used to access resources over HTTP. For example, if you define port 80 as the listen port, you can use the URL http://hostname/myfile.html instead of http://hostname:portnumber/myfile.html.

- On some operating systems, port 80 can be accessed only by processes run under a privileged user or group ID. In this case, you can assign the server instance to a UNIX machine on which a post-bind UID or GID is defined.

5.22 Node Manager

You can use this screen to select the Node Manager configurations applicable for the domain. You can also skip this step to create the Node Manager manually at a later point.

When you start the Node Manager for a domain, it looks for the nodemanager.properties file in the Node Manager home directory.

Option/Field

Description

Node Manager Type

Select one of the following Node Manager types.

Per Domain Default Location

If you select this option, the Node Manager home is predefined within the domain as <domain_name>/nodemanager and you cannot edit the Node Manager home. The Node Manager for each domain can have a different configuration, as determined by the files in this directory.

Per Domain Custom Location

Select this option if you want the Node Manager configuration files to be created in a specific location for this domain. Specify the directory in the Node Manager Home field, or click Browse to navigate to the location. The specified directory must be empty. The nodemanager.properties and nodemanager.domains files will be created in this directory.

Manual Node Manager Setup

If you select this option, creation of the Node Manager configuration for the domain is skipped, and you must manually create and update the Node Manager configuration for the domain.

You should also select this option if you do not want to use Node Manager in the domain.

Note: When creating standalone domains for OHS and ODI, do not select this option. A per domain Node Manager configuration is required for system component standalone domains.

For more information about Node Manager configuration, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Node Manager for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Username

Password

Confirm Password

The username and password that is used to start the specified Node Manager.

Node Manager Home

If you selected the Per Domain Custom Location option, click Browse and navigate to the directory location of the Node Manager that you want to use.

5.23 Managed Servers

You can use this screen to add, delete, or clone Managed Servers, and assign a user-expandable server group (if available) to a Managed Server. You can also change the settings for an existing Managed Server.

You can create Managed Servers on remote machines by using the pack and unpack commands.

For more information, see Creating and Starting a Managed Server on a Remote Machine in Oracle Fusion Middleware Creating Templates and Domains Using the Pack and Unpack Commands.

Column

Description

Server Name

Valid server names are a string of characters (alphabetic and numeric). The name must be unique in the domain.

For more information about server naming conventions, see Server Name Restrictions in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Domain Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Listen Address

From the drop-down list, select a value for the listen address. See Specifying the Listen Address for information about the available values.

Listen port

Enter a valid value for the listen port to be used for regular, nonsecure requests (through protocols such as HTTP and T3). The default value is the next available listen port. The valid listen port range is from 1 to 65535.

For more information, see Specifying the Listen Port.

Enable SSL

Select this check box to enable the SSL listen port. By default, SSL is disabled for all new servers.

SSL listen port

This field is enabled only if you selected the SSL enabled check box for the server.

Enter a valid value to be used for secure requests (through protocols such as HTTPS and T3S). The valid listen port range is from 1 to 65535.

Server Groups

If any of the templates you selected to create or update your domain contain a user-expandable server group definition, the Server Groups column is displayed. For each Managed Server, select the check box for each server group you want to assign to the server. Only server groups that are defined as user-selectable are displayed in the list. Typically, you should accept the defaults for Fusion Middleware product servers.

Note: If you clone a Managed Server, the server group assignments are identical to the original server. Cloning is recommended for creating additional Fusion Middleware product servers.

The selected server group determines the applications and services that are mapped to a given Managed Server. For example, if you select the WSMPM_MAN_SVR group for a server, all applications and services that are mapped to that server group in the config-groups.xml file for the domain are automatically targeted to the server.

For more information on server groups, see config-groups.xml and startup-plan.xml and the template sections for the templates that you included in the domain in Oracle Fusion Middleware Domain Template Reference.

To add a server, click Add and configure the settings for the new server. The default name for a new server is new_ManagedServer_n, where n starts at 1 and increments for each new server you add.

To clone a server, click in the row for the server you want to clone, and then click Clone. The default name for the new clone is original_server_name_clonen, where n starts at 1 and increments for each new server that you clone from that server. When you create a Managed Server that is a clone of an existing Managed Server, all applications and libraries that are targeted to the source server are also deployed to the clone. The cloned server is also assigned to all server groups to which the source server is assigned (if any). In addition, any of the following services that are targeted to the source server are automatically targeted to the clone:

- connectionFactory

- queueConnectionFactory

- topicConnection

- Queue

- Topic

- activationSpec

- Data source

- URLProvider

- workManager

- busMember

- customService

- resourceAdapter

To delete a server, select the server and click Delete. You can delete only one server at a time.

5.24 Clusters

A cluster is a group of WebLogic Server instances that work together to provide scalability and high-availability for applications. Use this screen to add or delete clusters, or to change the settings for an existing cluster.

By creating clusters, you can group Managed Servers such that they operate as a single unit for hosting applications and resources.

Column

Description

Cluster Name

Specify a valid name. The name of the cluster must be unique among all component names within the WebLogic domain.

Cluster Address

Specify the addresses for identifying the Managed Servers in the cluster. A cluster address can be one of the following:

- Comma-separated list of IP addresses or DNS names and ports (for example: dns_name:port, dns_name:port)

- DNS name that maps to multiple IP addresses

- localhost, DNS name, or IP address if the listen address of all Managed Servers is listening to the same address with unique port numbers

Frontend Host

Frontend HTTP Port

Frontend HTTPS Port

Enter the IP address, plain port (HTTP), and secure port (HTTPS) of the frontend host for the cluster, which may be a hardware load balancer, an Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) instance, or frontend host that has already been defined in the WebLogic Server configuration.

You can leave these fields empty, in which case the domain-wide frontend host values that are specified on the Domain Frontend Host screen are used for the cluster. If you enter these values for the cluster, they override the values, if any, that are specified on the Domain Frontend Host screen.

Dynamic Server Groups

If you are configuring the cluster as a dynamic cluster to scale out a high availability topology, associate the cluster with a dynamic server group. Select a group from the drop-down list that contains the dynamic server groups available for a domain depending on the template you have associated in the Templates screen.

You can associate a cluster with only one dynamic server group.

For more information on dynamic clusters, see Using Dynamic Clusters in Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide.

If you do not want associate a dynamic server group, select Unspecified from the drop-down list.

To delete a cluster, select the server and click Delete. When you delete a cluster, you do not delete the servers assigned to it; the servers are merely removed from the cluster and can then be added to another cluster. You can delete only one cluster at a time.

To add a cluster, click Add and configure the settings for the new server. The default name for a new cluster is new_Cluster_n, where n starts at 1 and increments for each new cluster you add. To change the default, type the desired name in the Name column.

For more information about clusters, see Setting Up WebLogic Clusters in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Clusters for Oracle WebLogic Server.

5.25 Server Templates

You can use the Server Templates screen to define one or more server templates for the domain. A server template contains common, non-default settings and attributes that you can apply to a set of server instances, which then inherit the template configuration.

For more information, see Server Templates in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Domain Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Server templates can be used to create dynamic clusters. Dynamic clusters consist of server instances that can be dynamically scaled up to meet the resource needs of your application. For more information, see Dynamic Clusters in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Clusters for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Column

Description

Name

The list of server templates will be populated either based on the dynamic server group that you have associated with the cluster in the Clusters screen or the templates that already exist in the domain. You can modify or define new server templates, if required.

Listen Port

The default TCP port that the server uses to listen for regular (non-SSL) incoming connections.

Administrators must have the right privileges before binding to a port or else this operation will not be successful and it will render the console un-reachable.

If this port is disabled, the SSL port must be enabled. Additional ports can be configured using network channels. The cluster (multicast) port is configured separately.

SSL Listen Port

The port that the server uses to listen for secure (SSL) incoming connections.

Cluster

You have to associate each server template with the appropriate cluster that you have created in the Clusters screen. From the drop-down menu, select the cluster to which a server template belongs. The dynamic server instances that are generated from the cluster is based on the selected server template.

For more information on dynamic clusters, see Using Dynamic Clusters in Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide.

5.26 Dynamic Servers

This screen lists each of the clusters that you have created in the current configuration session. You can designate one or more of these clusters to be a dynamic cluster.

For each cluster in the table, use the Dynamic Cluster check box to indicate that the cluster will be a dynamic cluster.

To assign one or more servers to a cluster:

1. In the Clusters list box, select the cluster to which you want to assign a Managed Server.

2. Assign Managed Servers to the selected cluster in one of the following ways:

- Double-click the name of the Managed Server in the Servers list box.

- Select the Managed Server and click the right arrow.

- Shift+click to select multiple Managed Servers; then, click the right arrow.

The name of the Managed Server is removed from the Servers list box and added below the name of the target cluster in the Clusters list box.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each Managed Server to assign to a cluster.

4. Review the cluster assignments.

If necessary, you can remove a Managed Server from a cluster in one of the following ways:

- Double-click the name of the Managed Server in the Clusters list box.

- Select the Managed Server and click the left arrow.

The name of the Managed Server is removed from the Clusters list box and restored to the Servers list box.

5.28 HTTP Proxy Applications

An HTTP proxy application acts as an intermediary for HTTP requests. Use this screen to create an HTTP proxy application for each cluster, and specify the Managed Server on which the proxy application must be deployed.

This screen is displayed only if both of the following statements are true:

- At least one Managed Server is assigned to a cluster.

- At least one Managed Server is not assigned to any cluster.

Column

Description

Cluster Name

This column lists each cluster in the domain.

Create HTTP Proxy

Select this check box for each cluster on which you want to deploy the HTTP proxy application.

Proxy Server

This drop-down list contains all Managed Servers that are not assigned to a cluster. Select the Managed Server on which to deploy the proxy application.

A proxy application named OracleProxy4_clustername_servername is created and deployed on the Managed Server.

5.29 Coherence Clusters

This screen is displayed only if you have included Coherence in the WebLogic Server installation. It lists the Coherence clusters that are automatically added to the domain.

Specify the following details for the Coherence cluster:

Column

Description

Name

Accept the default cluster name or type a new name for the Coherence cluster.

When updating a domain, if you have added additional Coherence clusters to the domain via WLST or the WebLogic Server Administration Console, they are also listed here.

Unicast Listen Port

Enter the port number to use as the Coherence cluster unicast listen port.

When including a Coherence cluster in a domain, note the following:

- All Managed Servers and clusters that you configure in the domain during future Configuration Wizard sessions are automatically added to the Coherence cluster.

- Servers and clusters that already exist in the domain before you add a Coherence cluster to the domain are not automatically assigned to the Coherence cluster. If desired, you can manually assign them to the Coherence cluster via a WLST script or the WebLogic Server Administration Console.

- When creating a domain via the Configuration Wizard, if the domain contains only an Administration Server and no Managed Servers, the Administration Server is automatically assigned to the Coherence cluster. If, however, at least one Managed Server is added to the domain during domain creation, the Administration Server is not assigned to the Coherence cluster.

- If there are multiple Coherence clusters in the domain (for example, you added a second Coherence cluster via WLST or the WebLogic Server Administration Console), any servers or clusters that you subsequently add to the domain via the Configuration Wizard are automatically assigned to the first Coherence cluster that is listed on the Coherence Clusters screen.

5.30 Machines

In a WebLogic domain, the machine definitions identify physical units of hardware and are associated with the WebLogic Server instances or system components (such as OHS servers) that they host. Use this screen to add or delete machines, or to modify the settings for an existing machine.

Each machine has the following configuration settings.

Select the Machine tab (for Windows) or the UNIX Machine tab (for UNIX).

Column

Description

Name

Enter a valid machine name. The machine name is used to identify the machine within the WebLogic domain; it does not have to match the network name for the machine. The name must be unique among all component names within the domain.

Otherwise, the server continues to run under the account from which it was started. For this setting to take effect, you must select the Enable Post Bind UID check box.

Node Manager Listen Address

Select a value from the drop-down list for the listen address used by Node Manager to listen for connection requests. By default, the IP addresses defined for the local system and localhost are shown in the drop-down list. The default value is localhost.

If you specify an IP address for a machine that hosts the Administration Server and you need to access the WebLogic Server Node Manager, you must disable host name verification.

For more information, see Using Host Name Verification in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Security for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Node Manager Listen Port

Enter a valid value for the listen port used by Node Manager to listen for connection requests.

The valid Node Manager listen port range is from 1 to 65535. The default value is 5556.

You might want to create machine definitions in situations such as the following:

- The Administration Server uses the machine definition, with the Node Manager application, to start remote servers.

- WebLogic Server or other system components such as OHS use configured machine names when determining the server in a cluster that is best able to handle certain tasks, such as HTTP session replication. Those tasks are then delegated to the identified server.

Note:

You must configure machines for each product installation that runs a Node Manager process. The machine configuration must include values for the listen address and port number parameters.

Click Add to add a new machine. The default name for a new machine is new_[Unix]Machine_n, where n starts at 1 and increments by 1 for each machine that you add.

Click Delete to delete an existing machine.

5.32 Virtual Targets

Virtual targets define the locations where a partition or resource group runs. You can use this screen to add or delete Virtual Targets for use in a WebLogic Server Multitenant (MT) environment.

Virtual Targets also provide instructions on how to route traffic, including addresses, protocol settings, and targeting. Request routing is determined by the host name and optional URI.

For more information, see the following resources in Oracle Fusion Middleware Using Oracle WebLogic Server Multitenant:

- Virtual Targets

- Configuring Virtual Targets: Overview

Column

Description

Name

Enter the name you want to use for the virtual target.

Target

From the drop-down list, select a Managed Server or cluster that you are creating in this domain.

Host Names

Enter the list of host names to which this virtual target will serve requests. The host names that you specify must have domain name system (DNS) entries that resolve to the correct servers, or to a load balancer:

If you are not using Oracle Traffic Director to balance the connection load for a partition, then specify the actual host name of the WebLogic Server cluster or Managed Server.

If you are using Oracle Traffic Director to load balance connections for a partition, then you access applications through Oracle Traffic Director. The host names that you specify for a virtual target must resolve to the location of the Oracle Traffic Director Administration Server.

If you do not specify a host name, then it is the equivalent of using a wild card for the host name to match all incoming requests.

The host name used by a client to access the resource group must exactly match one of the host names specified in the virtual target.

You can specify multiple host names for the virtual target. You might find it convenient to specify both the simple and the fully qualified host name to ensure a match.

URI Prefix

Enter an optional URI prefix to which this virtual target will serve requests.

For example, if you enter www.example.com as the host name and MyApp as the URI prefix, then this virtual target serves requests to www.example.com/MyApp, but not to www.example.com or www.example.com/foo.

To extend this example, assume that your application root is /app. The resulting URL for the application would be www.example.com/MyApp/app.

Explicit Port

Enter the explicit port for this virtual target.

Port Offset

Enter the port offset of the port for this virtual target.

5.33 Partitions

A domain partition is a portion of a WebLogic Server domain that is dedicated to running application instances and related resources.You can use this screen to add partitions in a WebLogic domain.

For each partition you want to add, click Add and enter the name you want to use for the partition. The partition name must be unique within the domain.

For more information, see Configuring Domain Partitions in Oracle Fusion Middleware Using Oracle WebLogic Server Multitenant.

5.34 Assign Virtual Targets to Partitions

You can assign one or more existing virtual targets to a domain partition. You can use a virtual target with only one partition.

To assign Virtual Targets to a partition:

1. In the Partitions list box, select the partition to which you want to assign a Virtual Target.

2. Assign virtual targets to the selected partition in one of the following ways:

- Double-click the target in the Virtual Targets list box.

- Select the appropriate target in the Virtual Targets list box and click the right arrow.

- Shift+click to select multiple targets in the Virtual Targets list box; then, click the right arrow.

The name of the virtual target is removed from the Virtual Targets list box and added, below the name of the target partition, in the Partitions list box.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each virtual target you want to assign to a machine.

4. Review the partition assignments.
If necessary, you can remove a virtual target from a partition in one of the following ways:

- Double-click the name of the appropriate virtual target instance in the Partitions list box.

- Select the appropriate virtual target in the Partitions list box and click the left arrow.

The name of the virtual target is removed from the Partitions list box and restored to the Virtual Targets list box.

5.35 Domain Frontend Host

When creating a new domain, you can use this screen to enable the frontend host, specify both the plain and secure URLs for the frontend host, and select the default frontend host URL.

This screen is displayed only if you have selected the Domain Frontend Host Capture option on the Advanced Configuration screen.

If there are one or more OHS instances configured in the domain, the Plain and SSL fields are automatically populated with the appropriate values from the first OHS instance in the domain. Otherwise, you must configure the values. The settings are then saved to a service table.

When updating a domain, the values are populated based on the values in the service table (if any). If the service table values are null and there are no OHS instances configured, the Configure Domain Frontend Host check box is deselected (unchecked) by default. In this case, you must select the check box and configure the host to enable the domain frontend host.

Field or Option

Description

5.39 Assign System Components to Machines

After you configure the system components such as OHS and ODI, you can use this screen to assign these components to the machines that you have defined in the Machines screen.

To assign system components to machines:

1. In the Machine list box, select the Windows or UNIX machine to which you want to assign a system component.

2. Assign system components to the selected machine in one of the following ways:

- Double-click the instance in the System Components list box.

- Select the appropriate instance in the System Components list box and click the right arrow.

- Shift+click to select multiple instances in the System Components list box; then, click the right arrow.

The name of the system component is removed from the System Components list box and added, below the name of the target machine, in the Machine list box.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each instance to assign to a machine.

4. Review the machine assignments.

If necessary, you can remove an instance from a machine in one of the following ways:

- Double-click the name of the appropriate instance in the Machine list box.

- Select the appropriate instance in the Machine list box and click the left arrow.

The name of the instance is removed from the Machine list box and restored to the System Components list box.

5.40 Deployments Targeting

Applications associated with the product for which you are configuring the domain are targeted automatically to the Managed Server that is created for that product, or to the cluster to which that Managed Server is assigned. In this screen, you can target applications to additional servers and clusters.

To target an application deployment to a cluster or server:

1. In the Target list box, select the cluster or server on which you want to deploy applications.

The name of the selected target is displayed as the title of the list box on the right.

2. In the target_name list box, select the check boxes corresponding to the applications to deploy on the selected target.

The applications displayed here vary, depending on the products that you selected in the Select Domain Source screen, earlier in the wizard.

Note:

When you select a Managed Server in the Target list box, some of the check boxes in the target_name list box might be disabled, indicating applications that are already targeted at the cluster that contains the selected Managed Server.

After you select applications, the names of the targeted clusters and servers are displayed in the Target column in the target_name list box.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other clusters and servers, as required.

4. After making the required selections, click Next.

When you extend a domain, if you delete a Managed Server or cluster to which applications are currently targeted, the Configuration Wizard automatically retargets those applications as follows:

- If the applications were originally targeted solely to the Managed Server or cluster that you are now deleting (that is, after you delete the Managed Server or cluster, the applications would become untargeted in the modified domain), then the Configuration Wizard automatically retargets the applications to all eligible targets.
An eligible target is any cluster or Managed Server that is not defined in the configuration groups specification (config-groups.xml file) of an included template. Servers or clusters that are specified in config-groups.xml are essentially owned by the template and, therefore, are not eligible for automatic targeting.

- If the applications were originally targeted to multiple targets (including Managed Servers, clusters, and the Administration Server), and one of the targeted Managed Servers or clusters is deleted, then, in the extended domain, the Configuration Wizard leaves the remaining target associations intact and does not attempt to retarget the applications.

5.41 Services Targeting

Services that are associated with the product for which you are configuring the domain are targeted automatically to the Managed Server created for that product, or to the cluster to which that Managed Server is assigned. In this screen, you can target services to additional servers and clusters.

To target services to Managed Servers or clusters:

1. In the Target list box, select the cluster or server on which you want to deploy services.

The name of the selected target is displayed as the title of the list box on the right.

2. In the target_name list box, select the check boxes corresponding to the services to deploy on the selected target.

The services displayed here vary, depending on the products that you selected in the Select Domain Source screen earlier in the wizard.

Note:

When you select a Managed Server in the Target list box, some of the check boxes in the target_name list box might be disabled, indicating services that are already targeted at the cluster that contains the selected Managed Server.

After you select services, the names of the targeted clusters and servers are displayed in the Target column in the target_name list box.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other clusters and servers, as required.

4. After making the required selections, click Next.

When you extend a domain, if you delete a Managed Server or cluster to which services are currently targeted, the Configuration Wizard automatically retargets those services as follows:

- If the services were originally targeted solely to the Managed Server or cluster that you are now deleting (that is, after you delete the Managed Server or cluster, the services would become untargeted in the modified domain), then the Configuration Wizard automatically retargets the services to all eligible targets.
An eligible target is any cluster or Managed Server that is not defined in the configuration groups specification (config-groups.xml file) of an included template. Servers or clusters that are specified in config-groups.xml are essentially owned by the template and, therefore, are not eligible for automatic targeting.

- If the services were originally targeted to multiple targets (including Managed Servers, clusters, and the Administration Server), and one of the targeted Managed Servers or clusters is deleted, then, in the extended domain, the Configuration Wizard leaves the remaining target associations intact and does not attempt to retarget the services.

5.42 File Stores

A JMS file store is a disk-based file in which persistent messages can be saved. You can use this screen to modify the JMS file stores that are configured in the WebLogic domain.

Specify the following details to modify the JMS file stores:

Column

Description

Name

Enter a valid name for the JMS file store. The name must be a string of characters. The name of the JMS file store must be unique among all component names within the domain.

Directory

Enter the path of the directory (in your system) in which the JMS file store resides.

Synchronous write policy

From the drop-down list, select one of the following synchronous write policies to determine how the file store writes data to the disk.

If the JMS file store is used exclusively for paging non-persistent messages to the disk, the synchronous write policy is ignored.

Cache-Flush

WebLogic Server enables the default file write behavior of the operating system and storage device, which typically includes caching and scheduling file writes, but forces a flush of the cache to disk before completing a transaction.

For more information, see Cache-Flush Policy in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering the WebLogic Persistent Store.

Direct Write

Write operations are performed directly to the disk. This policy is supported on Solaris and Windows. If this policy is active on an unsupported platform, the file store switches automatically to the cache-flush policy.

For more information, see Direct-Write Policy in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering the WebLogic Persistent Store.

Direct-Write-With-Cache

For most scenarios, Oracle recommends using the Direct-Write-With-Cache policy. When this policy is selected, WebLogic Server writes synchronously to a primary set of files in the location defined by the Directory attribute of the file store configuration using a native I/O wlfileio driver.

For more information, see Direct-Write-With-Cache Policy in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering the WebLogic Persistent Store.

Disabled

Transactions are complete as soon as the writes are cached in memory. When this policy is active, completion of transactions does not depend on waiting for writes to reach the disk. This setting affects performance, scalability, and reliability.

For more information, see Disabled Policy in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering the WebLogic Persistent Store.

5.43 Configuration Summary

This screen provides a summary of the configuration settings for the WebLogic domain. Review the details before you proceed.

In the Domain Summary pane, select an item to display details about that item in the Details pane on the right.

You can limit the items that are displayed in the Domain Summary pane by selecting a filter option from the Summary View drop-down list.

If you need to change the configuration, click Back to return to the appropriate screen.

When done, click Create to create the domain.

5.44 Configuration Progress

If you are creating a domain, this screen shows the progress of the domain creation. If you are updating (extending) a domain, this screen shows the progress of the domain update.

If you are creating a domain using templates that were selected in the Templates screen, detailed messages are displayed as the domain is being created.

If you are configuring the WebLogic Server samples domains at the end of WebLogic Server installation, the following messages are displayed for each domain:

Generating domain domain_name

---------------------------------------------

Successfully generated domain: domain_name

When the domain creation process completes, click Next or Finish to continue. Note that in some situations, the Finish button is not available and you must click Next.

5.45 Configuration Success

Depending on whether you run the full Configuration Wizard or the Quick Start Configuration Wizard, the appropriate configuration success message appears on this screen.

Single Domain

The message "New Domain domain_name Created" is displayed, and the domain location is provided along with the Administration Server URL to use for the domain.

On Windows systems, if you want to start the Administration Server after closing the Configuration Wizard, select the Start Admin Server check box. This check box is not available on UNIX systems.

Multiple Domains (Quick Start Configuration Wizard Only)

The following configuration details are displayed:

Field

Description

Domain Name

The name of the new domains.

Domain Location
