Description of the illustration ''setupprogress.gif''

This screen displays the progress of the setup process. During this process:

  • WLS core infrastructure files are updated

  • The WebLogic domain configuration is read

  • Reconfiguration templates for your installed products, including Fusion Middleware products, are automatically applied. This updates various domain configuration files such as config.xml, config-groups.xml, and security.xml (among others).

  • Schemas, scripts, and other such files that support your Fusion Middleware products are updated.

  • The domain upgrade is validated.

Click Next to continue. The Domain Mode and JDK screen is displayed.

After configuring the domain mode and selecting the JDK, subsequent screens depend on the contents of the domain, and differ for each domain.

Domain Mode and JDK

Description of domainmode.gif follows
Description of the illustration ''domainmode.gif''

Domain Mode

The domain mode cannot be changed during reconfiguration. It is inherited from the original domain.

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 Reconfiguration 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 Reconfiguration Wizard does not configure the startup scripts; you must change the startup scripts manually.

For more information about startup scripts, see Tuning Performance of Oracle WebLogic Server.


Database Configuration Type

Description of dsconnect.gif follows
Description of the illustration ''dsconnect.gif''

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 included in the domain. If you select this option, the fields on this screen are activated. Fill in each field, using the connection information that you specified for the STB component in the Repository Creation Utility (RCU). When done, click Get RCU Configuration to retrieve the schema information.

For information about Service Tables, see "Understanding Service Tables" in Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware.

After successfully retrieving the schema information, click Next to continue.

Note: The only JDBC connections that are supported are the Oracle service type JDBC connections that are supported by RCU.

Manual Configuration

If you select this option, you must manually configure the settings for each schema. Note that some of the fields in the schema table on the component schema screen are populated with default Java DB values, for example, Host Name is set to dbhost.example for all schemas.

After selecting this option, click Next to continue.


Complete the following fields for the RCU Data option, and then click Get RCU Configuration.

See "Database Connection Details" in Creating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility for more information.

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 OVAB_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" in 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.

Clusters

Description of clusters.gif follows
Description of the illustration ''clusters.gif''

A cluster is a group of WebLogic Server instances that work together to provide scalability and high-availability for applications. By creating clusters, you can group Managed Servers such that they operate as a single unit for hosting applications and resources.

Use this screen to add or delete clusters. You can also change the settings for an existing cluster.

Column Description

Cluster Name

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

Cluster address

Enter 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.


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 Administering Clusters for Oracle WebLogic Server.

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

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.

Coherence Listen Port

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

For more information on the Coherence cluster listen port, see "Configure Coherence Cluster Member Unicast Settings" in Administering Clusters for Oracle WebLogic Server.


When including a Coherence cluster in a domain:

  • All Managed Servers and clusters that you configure in the domain during the current Reconfiguration Wizard session or future Configuration Wizard sessions are automatically added to the Coherence cluster.

  • Servers and clusters that already exist in the domain prior to running the Reconfiguration Wizard are automatically assigned to the Coherence cluster.

  • When reconfiguring a domain, if the domain contains a 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 exists in the domain, 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 Reconfiguration Wizard are automatically assigned to the first Coherence cluster that is listed on the Coherence Clusters screen.

Machines

Description of machines.gif follows
Description of the illustration ''machines.gif''

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.

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 Administering Security for Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1).

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.

Post bind GID enabled

Post bind GID

(UNIX machines only) Enter the UNIX group ID (GID) under which a server on this machine will run after it finishes all privileged startup actions. Otherwise, the server continues to run under the group from which it was started. For this setting to take effect, you must select the Post bind GID enabled check box.

Post bind UID enabled

(UNIX machines only) Select this check box to enable a server running on this machine to bind to a UNIX user ID (UID) after it finishes all privileged startup actions. By default, this check box is not selected.

Post bind UID

(UNIX machines only) Enter the UNIX user ID (UID) under which a server on this machine will run after it finishes all privileged startup actions. Otherwise, the server continues to run under the account from which it was started. For this setting to take effect, you must select the Post bind UID enabled check box.

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.

Domain Frontend Host

Description of the illustration ''fehost.gif''

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

When creating a new domain, 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. 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 checkbox and configure the host to enable the domain frontend host.

Field or Option Description

Configure Domain Frontend Host

If selected, the domain-wide frontend host is enabled.

To disable and delete the frontend host configuration, deselect this check box. A notification will appear to indicate that the configuration is being deleted from the service table.

Plain

If not automatically populated, enter the plain URL for the frontend host, for example, http://www.myhost.com:8180. You can also update the existing value if needed.

SSL

If not automatically populated, enter the SSL URL for the frontend host. You can also update the existing value if needed.

Note: If you are using the plain URL for the frontend host, you must still specify a default SSL URL. If you have only set up a plain connection to the Frontend Host, you can use the same URL for both plain and SSL. Otherwise, they must be different.

Default

Select the appropriate radio button to make either the Plain or SSL URL the default URL for the frontend host.

Deployments Targeting

Description of target_deployments.gif follows
Description of the illustration ''target_deployments.gif''

Use this screen to target applications for deployment on servers or clusters.

Applications 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 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 reconfigure a domain, if you delete a Managed Server or cluster to which applications are currently targeted, the Reconfiguration 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 Reconfiguration 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 Reconfiguration Wizard leaves the remaining target associations intact and does not attempt to retarget the applications.

Services Targeting

Description of servicestargeting.gif follows
Description of the illustration ''servicestargeting.gif''

Use this screen to target services to the appropriate Managed Servers or clusters.

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 reconfigure a domain, if you delete a Managed Server or cluster to which services are currently targeted, the Reconfiguration 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 Reconfiguration 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 Reconfiguration Wizard leaves the remaining target associations intact and does not attempt to retarget the services.

JMS File Stores

Description of jms_file_stores.gif follows
Description of the illustration ''jms_file_stores.gif''

A JMS file store is a disk-based file in which persistent messages can be saved.

Use this screen to modify the JMS file stores that are configured in your domain. It contains the following fields.

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" inAdministering Server Environments for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Direct Write

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 Policy" in Administering Server Environments for Oracle WebLogic Server

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 Administering Server Environments for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Disabled

WebLogic Server relies on the default file write behavior of the operating system and storage device.

For more information, see "Disabled Policy" in Administering Server Environments for Oracle WebLogic Server.

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 Administering Server Environments for Oracle WebLogic Server

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.


Configuration Summary
