Overview

This bean is used to configure the attributes necessary to start up a server on a remote machine.

   
Fully Qualified Interface NameIf you use the getMBeanInfo operation in MBeanTypeServiceMBean, supply the following value as this MBean's fully qualified interface name:
weblogic.management.configuration.ServerStartMBean
Factory Methods No factory methods. Instances of this MBean are created automatically.
Access Points You can access this MBean from the following MBean attributes:


    Attributes

    This section describes the following attributes:


    Arguments

    The arguments to use when starting this server.

    These are the first arguments appended immediately after java portion of the startup command. For example, you can set Java heap memory or specify any weblogic.Server option.

    This property should not be used to specify weblogic.management.username or weblogic.management.password as these values will be ignored during server startup. Instead the username and password properties should be set. This will also enable Node Manager to properly encrypt these values on the Managed Server's machine.

    Separate arguments with a space.

    This value can also be specified conveniently in the nodemanager .properties file using the weblogic.startup.Arguments property. Node Manager will pass this value to a start script using the JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable. When issuing a Java command line to start the server, Node Manager will pass the arguments as options.

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typejava.lang.String

    BeaHome

    The BEA home directory (path on the machine running Node Manager) to use when starting this server.

    Specify the directory on the Node Manager machine under which all of Oracle's BEA products were installed. For example, c:\bea.

    Deprecated. 12.1.3.0 replaced by ServerStartMBean.getMWHome

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typejava.lang.String

    CachingDisabled

    Private property that disables caching in proxies.

           
    Privileges Read only
    Typeboolean
    Redeploy or Restart required Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

    ClassPath

    The classpath (path on the machine running Node Manager) to use when starting this server.

    At a minimum you will need to specify the following values for the class path option: WL_HOME/server/lib/weblogic_sp.jar;WL_HOME/server/lib/weblogic.jar

    where WL_HOME is the directory in which you installed WebLogic Server on the Node Manager machine.

    The shell environment determines which character you use to separate path elements. On Windows, you typically use a semicolon (;). In a BASH shell, you typically use a colon (:).

    This value can also be specified conveniently in the nodemanager .properties file using the weblogic.startup.ClassPath property. Node Manager will pass this value to a start script using the CLASSPATH environment variable. When issuing a Java command line to start the server, Node Manager will pass -Djava.class.path.

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typejava.lang.String

    DynamicallyCreated

    Return whether the MBean was created dynamically or is persisted to config.xml

           
    Privileges Read only
    Typeboolean

    Id

    Return the unique id of this MBean instance

           
    Privileges Read only
    Typelong
    Redeploy or Restart required Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

    JavaHome

    The Java home directory (path on the machine running Node Manager) to use when starting this server.

    Specify the parent directory of the JDK's bin directory. For example, c:\bea\jdk141.

    This value can also be specified conveniently in the nodemanager .properties file using the weblogic.startup.JavaHome or property.

    Node Manager will pass this value to a start script using the JAVA_HOME environment variable. When issuing a Java command line to start the server, Node Manager will use the Java executable from the specified location.

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typejava.lang.String

    JavaVendor

    The Java Vendor value to use when starting this server.

    If the server is part of a cluster and configured for automatic migration across possibly different platforms with different vendors providing the JDKs, then, both JavaVendor and JavaHome should be set in the generated configuration file instead.

    This value can also be specified conveniently in the nodemanager .properties file using the weblogic.startup.JavaVendor property.

    Node Manager does not pass this value invoking a Java command line to start the server. It does pass this value in the environment variable JAVA_VENDOR to the start script.

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typejava.lang.String

    MBeanInfo

    Returns the MBean info for this MBean.

    Deprecated.

           
    Privileges Read only
    Typejavax.management.MBeanInfo
    Redeploy or Restart required Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

    MWHome

    The MWHome directory (path on the machine running Node Manager) to use when starting this server.

    Specify the directory on the Node Manager machine under which all of Oracle's Middleware products were installed. For example, c:\bea.

    This value can also be specified conveniently in the nodemanager .properties file using the weblogic.startup.MWHome property.

    Node Manager does not pass this value to start scripts. It does specify -Dbea.home when invoking a Java command line to start the server.

           
    Available Since Release 12.1.3.0
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typejava.lang.String

    Name

    The user-specified name of this MBean instance.

    This name is included as one of the key properties in the MBean's javax.management.ObjectName:

    Name=user-specified-name

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typejava.lang.String

    Notes

    Optional information that you can include to describe this configuration.

    WebLogic Server saves this note in the domain's configuration file (config.xml) as XML PCDATA. All left angle brackets (<) are converted to the XML entity &lt;. Carriage returns/line feeds are preserved.

    Note: If you create or edit a note from the Administration Console, the Administration Console does not preserve carriage returns/line feeds.

    Parent

    Return the immediate parent for this MBean

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Type

    Password

    The password of the username used to boot the server and perform server health monitoring.

    As of 8.1 sp4, when you get the value of this attribute, WebLogic Server does the following:

    1. Retrieves the value of the PasswordEncrypted attribute.

    2. Decrypts the value and returns the unencrypted password as a String.

    When you set the value of this attribute, WebLogic Server does the following:

    1. Encrypts the value.

    2. Sets the value of the PasswordEncrypted attribute to the encrypted value.

    Using this attribute (Password) is a potential security risk because the String object (which contains the unencrypted password) remains in the JVM's memory until garbage collection removes it and the memory is reallocated. Depending on how memory is allocated in the JVM, a significant amount of time could pass before this unencrypted data is removed from memory.

    Instead of using this attribute, use PasswordEncrypted.

    For more information, see:

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typejava.lang.String
    Encryptedtrue

    PasswordEncrypted

    The encrypted password of the username used to boot the server and perform server health monitoring.

    To set this attribute, use weblogic.management.EncryptionHelper.encrypt() to encrypt the value. Then set this attribute to the output of the encrypt() method.

    To compare a password that a user enters with the encrypted value of this attribute, go to the same WebLogic Server instance that you used to set and encrypt this attribute and use weblogic.management.EncryptionHelper.encrypt() to encrypt the user-supplied password. Then compare the encrypted values.

           
    Privileges Read/Write

    Registered

    Returns false if the MBean represented by this object has been unregistered.

    Deprecated.

           
    Privileges Read only
    Typeboolean
    Redeploy or Restart required Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

    RootDirectory

    The directory that this server uses as its root directory. This directory must be on the computer that hosts Node Manager. If you do not specify a Root Directory value, the domain directory is used by default.

           
    Privileges Read/Write
    Typejava.lang.String

    SecurityPolicyFile

    The security policy file (directory and filename on the machine running Node Manager) to use when starting this server.

    This value can also be specified conveniently in the nodemanager .properties file using the weblogic.startup.SecurityPolicyFile property .

    When Node Manager is using a start script, the security policy file will be defined in an environment variable, SECURITY_POLICY. Additionally, when Node Manager is launching the process directly using a Java command, the security policy file will be defined with -Djava.security.policy=

    Operations

    This section describes the following operations:


    addTag

    Add a tag to this Configuration MBean. Adds a tag to the current set of tags on the Configuration MBean. Tags may contain white spaces.

       
    Operation Name"addTag"
    ParametersObject [] {  tag }

    where:

    • tag is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

      tag to be added to the MBean

    SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
    Returns boolean
    Exceptions
    • java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
      IllegalArgumentException if the tag contains illegal punctuation

    freezeCurrentValue

    If the specified attribute has not been set explicitly, and if the attribute has a default value, this operation forces the MBean to persist the default value.

    Unless you use this operation, the default value is not saved and is subject to change if you update to a newer release of WebLogic Server. Invoking this operation isolates this MBean from the effects of such changes.

    Note: To insure that you are freezing the default value, invoke the restoreDefaultValue operation before you invoke this.

    This operation has no effect if you invoke it on an attribute that does not provide a default value or on an attribute for which some other value has been set.

    Deprecated. 9.0.0.0

       
    Operation Name"freezeCurrentValue"
    ParametersObject [] {  attributeName }

    where:

    • attributeName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

      attributeName

    SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
    Returns void
    Exceptions
    • javax.management.AttributeNotFoundException
    • javax.management.MBeanException

    getInheritedProperties

    Return all properties' names whose value is inherited from template mbean. this is a convenient method to get inheritance info on multiple properties in one jmx call.

       
    Operation Name"getInheritedProperties"
    ParametersObject [] {  propertyNames }

    where:

    • propertyNames is an object of type [Ljava.lang.String; that specifies:

      properties to check

    SignatureString [] { "[Ljava.lang.String;" }
    Returns class

    isInherited

    Check if the value of a property is inherited from template mbean or not.

    ParametersObject [] {  propertyName }

    where:

    • propertyName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

      the name of the property

    SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
    Returns boolean

    isSet

    Returns boolean
    Exceptions
    • java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
      IllegalArgumentException if the tag contains illegal punctuation

    restoreDefaultValue

    If the specified attribute has a default value, this operation removes any value that has been set explicitly and causes the attribute to use the default value.

    Default values are subject to change if you update to a newer release of WebLogic Server. To prevent the value from changing if you update to a newer release, invoke the freezeCurrentValue operation.

    This operation has no effect if you invoke it on an attribute that does not provide a default value or on an attribute that is already using the default.

    Deprecated. 9.0.0.0

       
    Operation Name"restoreDefaultValue"
    ParametersObject [] {  attributeName }
