Download and Installation Instructions

This section provides instructions for the following tasks:

Review all the instructions before proceeding. An ODS-5 disk is required.

Preparing Your System

This section provides instructions for the following tasks:

Verifying the Prerequisites on Your System

Obtain and install any necessary patches (ECOs) described on the SDK v 1.3.1 patch installation page, which is located at:

http://h18012.www1.hp.com/java/archive_download/ovms/1.3.1-5/sdk1.3.1_patches.html

Setting Up a Disk, Directory, and Account to Run WebLogic Server

Before starting the WebLogic Server installation process, set up your ODS-5 disk, directory, and account as follows:

  1. Log in to the SYSTEM account.
  2. Create an account called bea and set its default device and directory to wldisk:[bea], which you will create in the following steps.
  3. The bea account should have the following minimum quotas:

/PGFLQUO=2097152/WSDEF=8192/WSEXTENT=32768/WSQUO=16384/BYTLM=400000/FILLM=4096
  1. Create or convert an ODS-5 disk and define a system logical called wldisk pointing to this disk.
  2. Warning: THIS COMMAND WILL DESTROY ALL DATA ON THE SELECTED DRIVE.

    $ initialize/structure_level=5 DKA100: wldisk
    $ define/system/exec wldisk DKA100:

    Note: Include this command in sys$startup:systartup_vms.com, too.

  3. On the ODS-5 disk, create a directory called wldisk:[bea] and specify the bea account as the owner:
  4. $ create/dir/own=bea/ver=0 wldisk:[bea]

  5. On the same disk, create an additional directory in which downloaded kits can be held, such as wldisk:[kits]. Specify the bea account as the owner. Enter a command line such as the following:
  6. $ create/dir/own=bea/ver=0 wldisk:[kits]

Note: The following steps are based on the assumption that the system already includes installations of the Java SDK, Java Fast VM, and any required service packs or system ECOs. If this assumption is not true, install all required items now and reboot the system.

  1. From the SYSTEM account, execute the following commands:
  2. $ set default wldisk:[bea]
    $ set process/parse_style=extended !long filenames and case sensitivity
    $ define decc$argv_parse_style enable !preserve argv case from DCL
    $ define decc$efs_case_preserve enable !enable ODS-5 names when you 'unjar' the kit
    $ @sys$common:[java$131.com]java$131_setup.com fast
    $ define decc$readdir_dropdotnotype enable
    $ define decc$efs_charset enable
    $ define java$filename_controls "8" !map mix of UNIX and VMS filenames into UNIX-style file names
    $ define decc$efs_case_special enable !convert filename to lowercase when reporting name in UNIX style
    $ define java$classpath []
    $ define SYS$SCRATCH 'F$ENVIRONMENT("DEFAULT")

  3. Before you start running Weblogic Server, verify that the time zone is set correctly in OpenVMS. For details, see Section 6.1, "Setting Correct Time Zone Information on Your System," in OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.

Downloading WebLogic Server

    Find the listings for WebLogic Server 7.0 SP1 in the section WebLogic Server Package Installer.

  1. Select HP OpenVMS.
  2. Download the WebLogic Server installer and BEA's supplemental JAR file for OpenVMS configurations.
  3. BEA's supplemental JAR file for OpenVMS, wls70sp1_OpenVMS_supp.jar, is available for download with WebLogic Server. The files delivered in this JAR contain customized commands and settings for OpenVMS. They are copied to the proper directories, automatically, at download time.

    The supplemtnal JAR file contains the following files: configEnvVMS.com, configEnvVMS_template.dat, configFilesVMS.com, env.com, extEnv.com, login.com, mod_wl.exe, mod_wl_ssl.exe, parseNodeManager.exe, setEnv.com, setExamplesEnv.com, setWLSEnv.com, startExamplesServer.com, startManagedWebLogic.com, startNodeManager.com, startNodeManagerProcess.com, startPetStore.com, startWebLogic.com, startWLS.com, startWLSNm.com, stopWebLogic.com, stopWLS.com, vms_javac.com, _java.policy

  4. Transfer the installer and the supplemental JAR file to a convenient location, such as wldisk:[kits], using either of two methods:

Installing the WebLogic Server Kit and Latest Service Pack

From the SYSTEM account, install the WebLogic Server kit as follows:

  1. Set attributes for the downloaded and supplemental JAR files to stream LF. For example:
  2. $ set file/attr=(rfm=stmlf) wldisk:[kits]pj_server701_generic.jar
    $ set file/attr=(rfm=stmlf) wldisk:[kits]wls70sp1_OpenVMS_supp.jar

  3. Install the WebLogic Server kit by setting the default to wldisk:[bea] and using the java command to unpack the archive:
  4. $ set default wldisk:[bea]
    $ java -DJAVA_HOME=/sys$common/java$131 -Djdk.check.override=true -jar wldisk:[kits]pj_server701_generic.jar

    These commands are based on the assumption that the JAR file resides in the wldisk:[kits] directory. If you put the JAR file in a different directory, modify the java command line as necessary.

Note: This command creates the WebLogic Server directory structure, starting with the WebLogic Server directory [bea.weblogic700]. Depending on the speed of the machine, this command may run for more than 20 minutes.

  1. While the BEA installer is running, note the pathnames for two directories: the BEA Home directory and the Product Installation directory.
  2. While the Configuration Wizard is running, note the pathname for the "domain directory."
  3. After the installer and Configuration Wizard finish running, you must run configEnvVMS.com. This program prompts you to enter the names of the directories noted in steps 3 and 4, as input for the configuration of the WebLogic Server environment on OpenVMS.
  4. The following listing shows an example of the input and output displayed during a console-mode installation. User responses are highlighted in bold. To select Next, simply press Enter.

Clean up process in progress ...
  1. (optional) In the current directory, delete all the temporary directories with names similar that contain special characters, such as bea16107^.tmp.DIR;1. These directories were created during the installation process; they are no longer needed by WebLogic Server.
  2. If you plan to run WebLogic Server clusters before rebooting your system, set the quotas required by the Administration Server and Managed Servers by running the following commands:
  3. $ tcpip set protocol udp/quota=send:32768
    $ tcpip set protocol udp/quota=receive:32768

    If you want these commands to be executed automatically the next time the system is booted, add them to SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.

  4. A 30-day evaluation license is provided with your download and a normal installation. To continue using WebLogic Server after the initial 30-day period expires, you must obtain a new license from BEA and complete the following procedure:
    1. Copy your new BEA license to wldisk:[bea.weblogic700].
    2. Set the default to wldisk:[bea.weblogic700]
    3. Use the java command to run LicenseMerger, which installs the new WebLogic Server license. For example:
    4. $ copy *new_license_filename* to wldisk:[bea.weblogic700]
      $ set default wldisk:[bea]
      $ java -cp [.utils]utils.jar com.bea.installer.registry.LicenseMerger license.bea wldisk:[bea.weblogic700]*new_license_filename*

  5. Now use the jar command to unpack the contents of wls70sp1_OpenVMS_supp.jar, the file that contains OpenVMS command procedures, which you copied to a convenient location, such as wldisk:[kits], earlier. For example:
  6. $ set default wldisk:[kits]
    $ jar xf wldisk:[kits]wls70sp1_OpenVMS_supp.jar

  7. Log out of the SYSTEM account.
  8. Log in to the bea account and configure your WebLogic Server environment on OpenVMS by running a command procedure, such as the following script.

Instructions for Startup, Shutdown, Configuration, and Building Examples with Ant

This section provides instructions for the following tasks:

Starting WebLogic Server, the PetStore Example, or Other Examples

To start WebLogic Server, complete the following procedure:

  1. Log in to the bea account.
  2. Note: At startup time, WebLogic Server 7.0 automatically updates the config.xml file, based on your current config.xml and dynamic environment. If you want to preserve your config.xml file, make a copy of it (for example, config.xml_backup) and copy it to config.xml before starting the server. Currently WebLogic Server 7.0 does not provide a way to turn off this feature.

  3. Choose one of the following operations:

Shutting Down WebLogic Server

To shut down WebLogic Server, run the following command:

$ @wldisk:[bea.weblogic700]stopWebLogic.com port user password proceed

Replace the arguments shown in italic with the values described.

For this argument ...

Specify this value ...

port

The appropriate port number

user

Your WebLogic Server username, which is case-sensitive.

password

Your WebLogic Server password, which is case-sensitive.

proceed

Whether you are ready to proceed. If you are ready, enter Yes or Y; if not, enter No or N.


 

If you do not specify these arguments on the command line, you are prompted to provide them after you launch the command.

Because the username and password are case sensitive, you must specify these two arguments within double quotes when providing them interactively. For example:

7001 "username" "Password" Y

The use of double quotes ensures that the use of lowercase and uppercase in the enclosed arguments is preserved and interpreted correctly.

Using the Configuration Wizard

If you want to set up your domains by running the Configuration Wizard, you must set the default to the [.common.lib] subdirectory of the WebLogic Server installation directory. For example:

$ set def wldisk:[bea.weblogic700.common.lib]
$ java -Dplatform.properties=platform.properties -jar dmwiz.jar

To run in console mode:

$ set def wldisk:[bea.weblogic700.common.lib]
$ java -Dplatform.properties=platform.properties -jar dmwiz.jar -mode=console

Note: The Configuration Wizard does not create DCL scripts to start and stop WebLogic Server. You may want to create start/stop server scripts, based on the sample scripts available in the petstore example or the examples directories.

Configuring the WebLogic Server Node Manager

Note: For an overview of the WebLogic Server Node Manager, see "Managing Server Availability with Node Manager" at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs70/admin_domain/nodemgr.html

If your deployment of WebLogic Server requires the starting and stopping of Managed Servers from the Administration Server Console, be sure to complete the following procedure:

  1. Log in to the bea account.
  2. Edit WL_HOME:[server.bin]startNodeManager.com and modify the weblogic.ListenAddress with the IP address of the system on which the Node Manager will run. For example:
  3. $ WRITE COMMAND "-Dweblogic.ListenAddress=11.22.33.44"

  4. Open the WL_HOME:[common.nodemanager.config]nodemanager.hosts file and add the IP address of the Admin Server to the end of the file. For example:
  5. # localhost, loopback
    localhost
    127.0.0.1
    22.33.44.55

  6. Start the Node Manager to create a process named WLS_NODEMANAGER on port 5555:
  7. $ SET DEFAULT WL_HOME:[server.bin]
    $ @startNodeManagerProcess

  8. While the Node Manager process is running:
    1. Invoke the Admin Server Console.
    2. Complete the instructions provided in Configure a Machine to Use Node Manager.
    3. Complete the instructions provided in Configure Startup Arguments for Managed Servers.

You can now use the Node Manager to start and stop Managed Servers from the Admin Server Console.

Using Ant to Build Examples

  1. Log in to the bea account.
  2. Set up the Examples environment:
$ @wldisk:[bea.weblogic700.samples.server.config.examples]setExamplesEnv.com
$ SET DEFAULT wldisk:[bea.weblogic700.samples.server.src.examples.jndi]
  1. To build the example, enter the following command:
  2. $ java org.apache.tools.ant.Main
