Domain Creation

Creating a New Domain in Graphical/Console Mode:

The following example explains how to create a new WebLogic Server domain in Graphical/Console Mode

1. Start the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode.

– On Windows:

Start? Programs? BEA Products? Tools? Configuration Wizard

– On UNIX:

Go to the /common/bin subdirectory of the product installation directory. For example:

cd $BEAHOME/weblogic92/common/bin

Enter sh config.sh

2. In the Welcome window, select Create a new WebLogic domain and click Next.

3. In the Select a Domain Source window:

a. Select Generate a domain configured automatically to support the following BEA

products.

Note that the WebLogic Server check box is selected by default since it is a

prerequisite for all WebLogic domains.

b. Click Next.

4. In the Configure Administrator Username and Password window, enter a valid

username and password,

and click Next.

This username is used to boot the Administration

Server and connect to it.

5. In the Configure Server Start Mode and JDK window, specify whether to start the server

in development mode or production mode, and select which JDK to use.

Click Next.

6. In the Customize Environment and Services Settings window, indicate whether you want

to change the distribution of your domain across servers, clusters, and machines, and to

modify existing JDBC and JMS file store services. To add Managed Servers and clusters to

your domain, or change JDBC and JMS settings,

select Yes

and click Next.

The Configuration Wizard steps you through the process. To accept the default settings, leave

No selected

and click Next.

In this example, we are not customizing the domain. Leave No selected and click Next.

7. In the Create WebLogic Domain window, enter a name for the domain and specify a

location for the domain directory.

For example, since we are going to extend this domain in the next example using the

WebLogic Portal extension template, name the domain my_default_domain.

By default, the domain is created in BEA_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain, where

BEA_HOME is the directory that contains the product installation, and domain is the domain

name that you specify (my_default_domain in this example). Click Create.

8. In the Creating Domain window, once the domain has been created, do one of the

following:

– If you are creating the domain on a Windows system and you want to start the server

immediately, select the Start Admin Server check box and click Done.

– Click Done.

Creating a WebLogic Domain in 'console' Mode (Sun Solaris)

If you know for any Unix based operating systems remote configuration will be in console mode only. This you can do with the following command referring to Oracle WebLogic 11g as follows:

$ Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3/common/bin/config.sh -mode=console

Otherwise you can do as follows where Sarangapani experimented with WebLogic 9.2 version.

$WL_HOME/common/bin

bash-3.00$ ls -la
