Creating a Domain

This chapter describes how to create an ALINT domain. It discusses the following topics:

 

How Do I: Create an ALINT Domain

The following example explains the procedure to create a new WLI domain.

Prerequisite: You need to install ALINT to be able to configure ALINT domain. For more information about installing ALINT, see Creating a Domain.

  1. Start the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode
    • On Windows, click:

      • Start > Programs > BEA Products > Tools > Configuration Wizard

Note: Use alint300_win32.exe to install WLI and ALSB in a common BEA Home directory.
  1. In the Welcome window, select Create a new WebLogic domain, and click Next.
  2. In the Select Domain Source window:
    1. In the Generate a domain configured automatically to support the following BEA products option, which is the default option, select AquaLogic Service Bus, WebLogic Integration, and Workshop for WebLogic 10.2.
    2. Click Next.
      3. Figure 3-1 Select Domain Source Window

  3. 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. The default username and password is weblogic.
  4. In the Configure Server Start Mode and JDK window, select a JDK, click Next. The WebLogic Domain Startup Mode is set to Development Mode by default.
  5. In the Customize Environment and Services Settings window, select Yes to modify JDBC Data Source Configurations to specify a database, and click Next.
  6. In the Configure the Administration Server window, define the configuration information for the Administration server, and click Next.
  7. In the Configure Managed Servers window, define the configuration information for one or more managed servers, and click Next.

For more information about configuring managed servers and clusters, see Configure Managed Servers in Creating Weblogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

  1. In the Configure Machines window, define the configuration information for machine or hosts in the domain, and click Next.
  2. In the Configure JDBC Data Sources window, and click Next. For a list of supported databases and drivers for WebLogic Integration, see Supported Database Configurations. Ensure that the database to which you want to test the connection is running.
  3. In the Run Database Scripts window, select the cgDataSource, p13nDataSource, wlsbjmsrpdatasource, and portalDataSource JDBC datasources individually to click Run Scripts to create database. These JDBC DataSources are available in the Available JDBC DataSources pane of the Run Database Scripts window.
    4. Note: In the Results pane, verify that Database Load Successful is returned for each Run Script execution. Otherwise, correct the problem before proceeding.
  4. In the Configure JMS File Store window, enter any JMS File Store information for the domain, and click Next.
  5. In the Review WebLogic Domain window, verify the contents of the domain, and click Next.
  6. In the Create WebLogic Domain window, enter a name and location for your new WebLogic Integration domain, for example alint_domain, then click Create. After the domain is created, the server for WebLogic Integration is ready to be started. Click the Start Admin Server check box if you wish to start the Admin Server.
    7. Tip: For more information about creating a domain, see Creating Domains Using Configuration Wizard.

Domain Created Successfully

Go to Start > All Programs > BEA Products, and verify if a User Projects menu item has been created. User Projects folder gets created when you create or configure a domain. Ensure the domain you created following the steps in How Do I: Create an ALINT Domain is available under the User Projects menu item as displayed in the Figure 3-3.

How Do I... Extend an Existing WLI Domain to an ALINT Domain

You can add product component functionality, or additional applications and services to an existing domain by extending it using the Configuration Wizard. For example if you have a WLI domain already created, want to add the ALInt product bundle, extend the WLI domain by adding an appropriate template using the Configuration Wizard.

The Configuration Wizard simplifies the task of extending an existing domain by using extension templates. BEA delivers a set of predefined extension templates, which are described in Domain Template Reference.

The following example details the steps to extend a WLI domain to an ALInt domain.

Prerequisite: You need to install ALInt to be able to configure ALInt domain. For more information about installing ALInt, see Creating a Domain

  1. In the Welcome window of the Configuration Wizard, select the Extend an Exisiting Domain option, and click Next.
  2. In the Select a WebLogic Domain Directory window, browse to the BEA_HOME > user_projects, and select the WLI Domain. For example, select the wli_domain from the user_projects folder. Click Next.
  3. In the Select Extension Source window, you can extend the domain in either of the following ways:
    • Extend the WLI domain by selecting the AquaLogic Service Bus check box from the Extend my domain automatically to support the following added BEA Products. Note that the WebLogic Integration checkbox is already selected by default here.
  4. Click Next to proceed to the JDBC and JMS File Store Settings window. Accept the default options and click Next to move to the Extend WebLogic Domain window.
Note: The Extend WebLogic Domain window displays the read-only name and location for your domain. If your domain contains an applications directory and the domain extension does not contain application files, the location for that directory is also displayed. However, if your domain extension contains application files, you are prompted to provide the pathname to the applications directory in the Applications Location field.
  1. After you have defined the applications directory, if required, click Extend to extend the domain with the applications, services, and settings provided from the specified extension template.
Note: The Creating Domain window is opened to display status messages during the update process. The Configuration Wizard updates the config.xml file and other application-specific components in the domain directory, as defined by the domain template.
Note: When the process is complete, the updated WLI domain is ready.

 

How Do I... Extend an Existing ALSB Domain to an ALINT Domain

The following example details the steps to extend a WLI domain to an ALInt domain.

Prerequisite: You need to install ALInt to be able to configure ALInt domain. For more information about installing ALInt, see Creating a Domain

  1. In the Welcome window of the Configuration Wizard, select the Extend an Exisiting Domain option, and click Next.
  2. In the Select a WebLogic Domain Directory window, browse to the BEA_HOME > user_projects, and select the WLI Domain. For example, select the alsb_domain from the user_projects folder. Click Next.
  3. In the Select Extension Source window, you can extend the domain in either of the following ways:
    • Extend the WLI domain by selecting the AquaLogic Service Bus check box from the Extend my domain automatically to support the following added BEA Products. Note that the WebLogic Integration checkbox is already selected by default here.
  4. Click Next to proceed to the JDBC and JMS File Store Settings window. Accept the default options and click Next to move to the Extend WebLogic Domain window.
Note: The Extend WebLogic Domain window displays the read-only name and location for your domain. If your domain contains an applications directory and the domain extension does not contain application files, the location for that directory is also displayed. However, if your domain extension contains application files, you are prompted to provide the pathname to the applications directory in the Applications Location field.
  1. After you have defined the applications directory, if required, click Extend to extend the domain with the applications, services, and settings provided from the specified extension template.
Note: The Creating Domain window is opened to display status messages during the update process. The Configuration Wizard updates the config.xml file and other application-specific components in the domain directory, as defined by the domain template.

When the process is complete, the updated WLI domain is ready.
