Before you can create and run Managed Servers on a remote machine, you must install Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Identity Management Suite on the remote machine. Then you must use the pack and unpack commands to create Managed Servers on the remote machine.
You must install Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Identity Management Suite on the remote machine.
On the remote machine, install Oracle WebLogic Server and create a Middleware Home directory, as described in Installing Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.3 and Creating the Oracle Middleware Home.
Note:
The structure of Middleware Home and IDM Home directories on the remote machine should be identical to that of the local machine.On the remote machine, install Oracle Identity Management Suite, as described in Installing the Oracle Identity Management 11g Software.
After this installation, you can create and start Managed Servers on the remote machine, as described in the following topic.
To create and start a Managed Server on a remote machine, complete the following steps:
On the local machine where the domain is configured and the Administration Server is created, use the pack command located in the \common\bin directory under your IDM_Home directory to create a Managed Server template that contains a subset of the files in a domain that are required to create a Managed Server domain directory hierarchy on a remote machine.
The -managed={true} parameter of the pack command specifies whether the template is to be used to create Managed Servers on remote machines.
Ensure that the Administration Server is up and running on the local machine.
On the remote machine, use the unpack command located in the \common\bin directory under your IDM_Home directory to create the Managed Server domain directory on the remote machine.
Note:
For Oracle Identity Manager users only:If you want to start the SOA Server on a remote machine, then you must manually copy the composite files from the <DOMAIN_HOME>/soa/autodeploy directory on the local machine to the <DOMAIN_HOME>/soa/autodeploy directory on the remote machine after running the unpack command on the remote machine. If the <DOMAIN_HOME>/soa/autodeploy directory does not exist on the remote machine, you must create this directory before copying the composite files.
