Evaluate Snapshot

A Snapshot Evaluation is a complete assessment of all of the configuration details for a specific domain, at the particular moment the evaluation is executed. The process for performing a Snapshot Evaluation is the same as for any other type of evaluation. The primary difference is in the type of Signature Bundle you select for the evaluation, and the type of information the evaluation collects and evaluates.

Note: As with other evaluations, you can compare Snapshot Evaluations. Comparing two Snapshot Evaluations enables you to see very quickly the differences between configurations for those two domains. For instructions, see Compare Inventories or Evaluations on page 60.
Caution: Generating a Snapshot Evaluation of a large domain may consume a lot of memory, and take a long time to complete.

To evaluate a snapshot of a domain configuration, do the following:

  1. In the Navigation Pane, click the Domain Explorer tab to open the Domain Explorer.
  2. Select a domain and open the Evaluation Wizard.

    3. Do one of the following:

    • In the Domain Explorer, select a domain and then click the Evaluation button.
    • Right-click on a domain name and then select Evaluate from the context menu.
  3. In the Bundle field, select the type of snapshot to create and evaluate.

    4. Select one of the following from the Bundle field drop-down menu:

    • Snapshot - All
    • Snapshot - JDBC
    • Snapshot - JMS
    • Snapshot - Security
  4. Enter the credentials for the WebLogic Server for the selected domain.

    5. In the Domain Credentials section, enter the following:

    • Username: This is the username for the WebLogic Server Administrator or Monitor account on the target domain.
    • Password: This is the password for the WebLogic Server Administrator or Monitor account on the target domain.
  5. Click Finish.

    6. This initiates the Snapshot Evaluation and displays an Evaluation Summary of the results in the Document Pane. In the Domain Explorer, the new Domain Inventory is added to the Inventory History folder, and the new Evaluation Summary is added to the Evaluation History folder.
