Node Manager is used to monitor, start, and stop server instances in a domain. See About Installing Node Manager as a Windows Service for more information.

If you are performing a complete installation on a Windows platform, you are installing on a Windows platform and you do not have Administrator privileges, you are installing on a UNIX platform, or you are adding components to an existing installation, the installation program begins copying the components you specified to your system. Proceed to step 11.

Note:

It is normal for the installation program to pause for a fairly long time, especially toward the end. The installation program is still working when this occurs.

Specify whether you want to install Node Manager as a Windows service, as shown in the following text:

Install Node Manager as a Windows Service
 
    1 - Yes, install now.

The Choose Shortcut Location prompt is displayed.

Specify the folder in which you want to create the Start menu shortcuts. Select the All Users folder or the local user's folder, as shown in the following sample text:

Choose Shortcut Location:
------------------------- 
*The installer creates shortcuts to BEA components, samples, and tools.
*As a user with administrative privileges, you can specify where these
*shortcuts are created.
 
 ->1¦"All Users" Start menu folder> (recommended)
    ¦If a user without administrative privileges uses the BEA
    ¦Configuration Wizard in this installation to create domains, the user
    ¦may have to create Start menu shortcuts manually. Refer to the 
    ¦documentation for more information.
 
   2¦Local user's Start Menu folder
    ¦Select this option if you need to ensure that other profiles
    ¦registered on this machine will not have access to these shortcuts.

Enter index number to select OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

Do one of the following:

Type 1 or press Enter to create Start menu shortcuts in the All Users folder. This provides all users registered on the machine with access to the installed software. However, only users with Administrator privileges can create shortcuts in the All Users folder. Therefore, if a user without Administrator privileges uses the Configuration Wizard to create domains, Start menu shortcuts to the domains are not created. In this case, users can manually create shortcuts in their local Start menu folders, if desired.
Type 2 to create shortcuts in your local user's Start menu folder. If you do so, other users registered on this machine will not have access to the Start menu entries for this installation.

You are prompted to confirm your selection, as shown in the following text:

    ¦If a user without administrative privileges uses the BEA
    ¦Configuration Wizard in this installation to create domains, the 
    ¦user may have to create Start menu shortcuts manually. Refer to 
    ¦the documentation for more information.

   2¦Go back to the previous screen and make another choice.

Enter index number to select OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

Verify that your entry is correct, then type 1 or press Enter to proceed with the installation. Otherwise, type 2 to return to the previous panel, where you can modify your entry.

After you have verified your selection, the installation program begins copying the components you specified to your system.

Note:

It is normal for the installation program to pause for a fairly long time, especially toward the end. The installation program is still working when this occurs.

When the installation is complete, the Installation Complete panel is displayed.

Press Enter or type Exit to exit the installation program.

What's Next?

By default, WebLogic Platform uses the development license file installed in the BEA Home directory so that you can start using the product immediately. However for WebLogic Real Time 1.0, access to the BEA JRockit 5.0 Deterministic Garbage Collection option requires an additional evaluation or production license key to replace the empty license.bea file in the BEA_HOME/jrockit-realtime1.0_XXX/jre/ directory. For instructions on updating the BEA JRockit license file, see Updating Your BEA JRockit License for the Deterministic Garbage Collector.

The Spring 1.2.6 Framework for BEA is fully supported with WebLogic Platform 1.0 and can be downloaded from the WebLogic Platform Product download page. Spring 1.2.6 is also distributed with the WebLogic Platform CD-ROM kit when the media is ordered. For more information about Spring and WebLogic Real Time, see Introduction to WebLogic Real Time at
