Download and Installation Instructions for WebLogic Server

This section provides instructions for the following tasks:

Note: Review all instructions before proceeding. WebLogic Server must be installed on an ODS-5 disk.

Preparing Your System

This section provides instructions for the following tasks:

Verifying the Prerequisites on Your System

Before you download WebLogic Server for your system, you must make sure that in addition to the OpenVMS 8.2-1 operating system, the following required software is installed:

Required Supplemental Software

In addition to the WebLogic Server software, you also need the OpenVMS 8.2-1 Supplementary JAR file, wls813_OpenVMS_I64_supp.jar, which contains installation and configuration files for OpenVMS. Instructions for downloading this file are provided in Downloading the WebLogic Server Software and Supplementary JAR File.

Note: The supplemental file contains customized command files for OpenVMS, which are automatically copied to the proper directories during installation. The following files are delivered: commEnv.com, config.com, configDB.com, configEnvVMS.com, configEnvVMS_template.dat, configFilesVMS.com, ConfigWizardSALT.jar,env.com, extEnv.com, login.com, mod_wl.exe, mod_wl_ssl.exe, parseNodeManager.exe, setEnv.com, setExamplesEnv.com, setJavaClasspath.com, setMedRecEnv.com, setWLSEnv.com, startExamplesServer.com, startManagedWebLogic.com, startMedRecServer.com, startNodeManager.com, startNodeManagerProcess.com, startWebLogic.com, startWebLogicDetached.com, startWLS.com, startWLSNm.com, stopWebLogic.com, stopWLS.com, vms_javac.com, and _java.policy.

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

Before you can run WebLogic Server on OpenVMS, you must set up an ODS-5 disk, and a dedicated directory and account. To do so, complete the following procedure:

  1. Log in to the SYSTEM account.

    2. Set the minimum quotas for the SYSTEM account to values greater than or equal to those of the bea account, as specified in step 3 below. For installation purposes, the SYSTEM account must have a minimum BYTLM of 6000000 (6M).

    $ SET PROCESS /PARSE_STYLE=EXTENDED

  2. Create or convert an ODS-5 disk, define a system logical called wldisk to reference this disk, and then mount the disk. For example:

    3. Note: This INITIALIZE command will destroy all data on the selected drive.

    $ INITIALIZE/STRUCTURE_LEVEL=5 DKA100: "wldisk"

    Note: If the logical defined in the next step contains any lowercase characters, it must be enclosed in quotes. Take note of the exact syntax. You must specify the same spelling (including distinctions between uppercase and lowercase) and syntax when you create the default bea directory on the ODS-5 device. This also applies when you specify the default device and directory specification for the bea account in the user authorization file. (UAF).

    $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE_MODE/TRANSLATION_ATTRIBUTES=CONCEALED -
    _$ "wldisk" DKA100:

    To verify the logical definition:

    $ SHOW LOGICAL wldisk /FULL
    "wldisk" [exec] = "DKA100:" [concealed] (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

    $ MOUNT/SYSTEM DKA100: "wldisk"

    Add the DEFINE and MOUNT commands, above, to SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.

  3. Using AUTHORIZE, create a BEA Home account called bea.

    4. $ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
    $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:AUTHORIZE.EXE

    Set the default device to the logical name defined in the previous step. Set the directory of this account to bea:

    /DEVICE="wldisk" /DIRECTORY=bea

    The account must have the following minimum quotas:

    /PGFLQUO=2097152 
    /WSDEF=8192
    /WSEXTENT=32768 
    /WSQUO=16384
    /BYTLM=400000
    /FILLM=4096

    The system parameter CHANNELCNT must be greater than or equal to FILLM.

    Use the SYSMAN utility to examine the value of CHANNELCNT:

    $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
    SYSMAN> PARAMETERS SHOW CHANNELCNT

    Parameter name     Current  Default  Minimum  Maximum  Unit  Dynamic
    --------------     -------  -------  -------  -------  ----  -------
    CHANNELCNT          127       127       21     2047    Channels

    SYSMAN> EXIT
    $

    To change the value of CHANNELCNT, edit the SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT file and then use AUTOGEN.

  4. Create a directory on the ODS-5 disk called wldisk:[bea] and set the owner to the bea account. The directory name is case sensitive; it must match the directory specified earlier for the bea home account. For example: 
    5. $ CREATE/DIRECTORY/OWNER=BEA/VERSION=0 wldisk:[bea]
  5. Create an additional directory on the ODS-5 disk to hold the downloaded kits, and set the owner to the bea account. For example, to name the directory wldisk:[kits], enter the following command: 
    6. $ CREATE/DIRECTORY/OWNER=BEA/VERSION=0 wldisk:[kits]
  6. Steps 7 and 8 are based on the assumption that Java 2 SDK 1.4.2-3, and all its prerequisite software patches, are installed on your system. If these items are installed, skip to step 7.

    7. If these items are not installed yet, install them now and reboot the system. The SDK and all required patches are available from:

    http://h18012.www1.hp.com/java/download/ivms/1.4.2/index.html

  7. From the SYSTEM account, execute the following commands: 
    8. $ SET DEFAULT wldisk:[bea] 
    $ SET PROCESS/PARSE_STYLE=EXTENDED 
    $ DEFINE DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE ENABLE 
    $ DEFINE DECC$EFS_CASE_PRESERVE ENABLE 
    $ DEFINE DECC$FD_LOCKING ENABLE 
    $ @SYS$COMMON:[JAVA$142.COM]JAVA$142_SETUP.COM 
    $ DEFINE DECC$READDIR_DROPDOTNOTYPE ENABLE 
    $ DEFINE DECC$EFS_CHARSET ENABLE 
    $ DEFINE JAVA$CLASSPATH [] 
    $ DEFINE JAVA$CREATE_DIR_WITH_OWNER_DELETE TRUE 
    $ DEFINE JAVA$DELETE_ALL_VERSIONS TRUE 
    $ DEFINE JAVA$DISABLE_JAVA_FCNTL_LOCKS TRUE 
    $ DEFINE JAVA$FILENAME_CONTROLS 8 
    $ DEFINE JAVA$FILE_OPEN_MODE 3 
    $ DEFINE JAVA$FORK_SUPPORT_CHDIR TRUE 
    $ DEFINE JAVA$FSYNC_INTERVAL 5 
    $ DEFINE JAVA$RENAME_ALL_VERSIONS TRUE 
    $ DEFINE JAVA$TIMED_READ_USE_QIO TRUE 
    $ DEFINE SYS$SCRATCH 'F$ENVIRONMENT("DEFAULT")
  8. Before you start running WebLogic Server on OpenVMS, verify that the OpenVMS time zone is set correctly by running the following command:
    9. $ @SYS$MANAGER:UTC$TIME_SETUP SHOW

    For more information, see Section 6.1, "Setting Correct Time Zone Information on Your System" in the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.

Downloading the WebLogic Server Software and Supplementary JAR File

To download WebLogic Server to your system, complete the following procedure:

  1. Go to the WebLogic Server download site:
    2. http://commerce.bea.com/downloads/weblogic_server.jsp
  2. Find the listings for WebLogic Server 8.1 SP3 and select WebLogic Server Package Installer.
  3. Then select HP OpenVMS 8.2-1 (Itanium) from the drop-down menu.
  4. Download the following:
  5. COPY (or FTP in binary mode) the files to a convenient location, such as wldisk:[kits].

Installing WebLogic Server 8.1 Service Pack 3

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

  1. Set attributes for the downloaded installer and supplemental .jar files to stream LF. For example:
    2. $ SET FILE/ATTR=(RFM=STMLF) wldisk:[kits]pj_server813_generic.jar 
    $ SET FILE/ATTR=(RFM=STMLF) wldisk:[kits]wls813_OpenVMS_I64_supp.jar
  2. Install the WebLogic Server kit in console mode by setting the default to wldisk:[bea] and using the java command to unpack the archive: 
    3. $ SET DEFAULT wldisk:[bea] 
    $ java -DJAVA_HOME=/sys$common/java$142 -Djdk.check.override=true -
    _$ -jar /wldisk/kits/pj_server813_generic.jar -mode=console

    These command lines are based on the assumption that the .jar file resides in the wldisk:[kits] directory. If the .jar file on your system resides elsewhere, modify the java command as appropriate.

    Note: This java command creates the WebLogic Server directory structure, starting with the WebLogic directory under [bea]: that is, [bea.weblogic81]. Depending on the speed of the machine, this command may run for over 20 minutes.

    While the BEA installer is running, note the pathnames of the "BEA Home Directory" and "Product Installation Directory." These directory specifications are required as input for the configuration of the WebLogic Server environment on OpenVMS (during the execution of configEnvVMS.com).

    The following code shows an example of an installation. User responses are highlighted in bold. To select [Next] at any time, press Enter.

    $

Note: If you do not plan to run WebLogic Server clusters, skip step 11 and proceed to step 12.

  1. If you plan to run WebLogic Server clusters, you must set TCP/IP quotas, which are required by the Administration Server and Managed Servers. To set such quotas, complete the following procedure:
    1. Log in to the SYSTEM account.
    2. Set the quotas as follows, for use in the current TCP/IP session: 
      3. $ TCPIP SET PROTOCOL UDP/QUOTA=SEND:65536
      $ TCPIP SET PROTOCOL UDP/QUOTA=RECEIVE:65536

      To modify these quotas in the permanent database so they can be used at boot time or when TCP/IP Services are restarted interactively, enter the following:

      $ TCPIP SET CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL UDP/QUOTA=SEND:65536
      $ TCPIP SET CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL UDP/QUOTA=RECEIVE:65536
    3. Log out of the SYSTEM account.
  2. An evaluation license is provided with your download. Before you can use WebLogic Server for production, however, you must obtain a license from BEA. For information about obtaining a license, see "Licensing" at:

    3. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13196_01/platform/docs81/interm/license.html

    Once you have obtained your license, complete the following procedure:

    1. Copy the new WebLogic Server license that you obtained from BEA to your WebLogic Home directory.
    2. To install the new license, launch LicenseMerger by running the java command. For example: 
      3. $ COPY *new_license_filename* wldisk:[bea.weblogic81]
      $ SET DEFAULT wldisk:[bea]
      $ SET FILE/ATTRIBUTE=(RFM:STMLF) *new_license_filename*
      $ java -cp ./utils/utils.jar -
      _$ com.bea.plateng.common.registry.LicenseMerger -
      _$ license.bea ./weblogic81/*new_license_filename*

The installation and configuration of WebLogic Server 8.1 SP3 on your HP OpenVMS 8.2-1 system is now complete.

 

Post-Installation Setup Instructions for WebLogic Server

This section provides instructions for the following tasks:

Starting WebLogic Server or the WebLogic Server Examples

The following procedures are working examples of how to start WebLogic Server on OpenVMS. Start the server as follows:

  1. Log in to the bea account.
  2. Choose one of the following operations and complete the instructions provided under the appropriate heading:
  3. Start WebLogic Server interactively
    1. Run the following commands:

      2. $ SET DEFAULT BEA_HOME:[user_projects.domains.mydomain]
      $ @startWebLogic

    2. When prompted, enter the required information:

      3. Enter the WebLogic Server username:
      Enter the Weblogic Server password:

      Note: Enter the same username and password you supplied during installation.

      When WebLogic Server is ready to run your application, the following message is displayed:

      <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000360> <BEA-Server started in running mode>.

      To access the console, open a browser and enter the following URL:

      http://*node-name-here*:7001/console

    3. During the startup process, a startwls_environment.log is created in the directory.
  4. Start WebLogic Server in detached mode
    1. Running WebLogic Server in DETACHED mode requires a boot identity file named boot.properties. If the file does not already exist, you must create it as per the instructions in the WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/ConsoleHelp/index.html). Subsequent server sessions use the encrypted version of the file when starting in DETACHED mode.

      2. WebLogic Server encrypts the boot.properties file you manually created and writes an encrypted version of that file to the disk when the server is started and is in running mode. Manually purge the original file (containing clear text) from the server's root directory for security purposes:

      $ PURGE BEA_HOME:[user_projects.domains.mydomain]boot.properties

      To run detached from the bea account:

      $ SUBMIT -
      _$ BEA_HOME:[user_projects.domains.mydomain]-
      _$ startWebLogicDetached.com
      $

      To run detached from an alternate account (such as SYSTEM):

      $ SUBMIT -
      _$ /USER=bea wldisk:[bea.user_projects.domains.mydomain] -
      _$ startWebLogicDetached.com
      $

      Use of the /USER qualifier requires CMKRNL (change mode to kernel) privilege and read (R) and write (W) access to the user authorization file (UAF).

    2. WebLogic Server is ready to run your application when the following message can be read in the startWebLogicDetached.log:

      3. <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000360> <BEA-Server started in running mode>.

      To access the console, invoke http://*node-name-here*:7001/console from your browser.

    3. During startup, a file called startwls_environment.log is produced in the BEA_HOME:[user_projects.domains.mydomain] directory.
  5. Start the MedRec Server application

    6. Avitek Medical Records (MedRec) is a sample WebLogic Server application suite that concisely demonstrates all aspects of the J2EE platform.

    Note: The default username (weblogic) and password (weblogic) are specified in the startMedRecServer.com command procedure. If necessary, you may edit this file to change the username or password. Running the MedRec sample is a good way to verify that your installation is complete.

    Note: The MedRec Server application accesses the internet. If your server requires a proxy to access the internet, edit the startMedRecServer.com command procedure to set -Dhttp.proxyHost and -Dhttp.proxyPort.

    $ SET DEFAULT WL_HOME:[samples.domains.medrec]
    $ @startMedRecServer

    Using Internet Explorer, access the MedRec application via:

    http://*node-name-here*:7001/index.jsp

    During startup a file called startwls_environment.log is produced in the directory.

  6. Start the Examples Server

    7. WebLogic Server Examples demonstrate a variety of tasks using WebLogic Server.

    $ SET DEFAULT WL_HOME:[samples.domains.examples]
    $ @startExamplesServer

    Then, using Internet Explorer, access the example applications via:

    http://*node-name-here*:7001/examplesWebApp/index.jsp

    Note: The default username (weblogic) and password (weblogic) can be modified by editing the startExamplesServer.com command procedure. Running additional examples is a good way to learn more about using WebLogic Server.

    During startup, a file called startwls_environment.log is produced in the directory.

Shutting Down WebLogic Server

To shut down WebLogic Server, run the stopWebLogic.com command (which is supplied with WebLogic Server):

$ @wldisk:[bea.weblogic81]stopWebLogic.com

With this command, you may supply the following arguments either interactively, or as parameters on the command line:

Because the username and password are case sensitive, be sure to use quotes around these arguments when supplying them interactively. For example:

7001 "username" "password" Y

Configuring the WebLogic Server Node Manager

Note: For an overview of the WebLogic Server Node Manager, see
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/adminguide/nodemgr.html

If your deployment of WebLogic Server requires that you start and stop Managed Servers from the WebLogic Server Administration Console, complete the following procedure:

  1. Log in to the bea account.
  2. In a text editor, open the WL_HOME:[common.nodemanager]nodemanager.hosts file. Add the IP address of the Administration Server to the end of the file. For example: 
    3. # localhost, loopback
    localhost
    127.0.0.1 
    22.33.44.55
  3. Start the Node Manager: 
    4. $ SET DEFAULT WL_HOME:[server.bin]
    $ @startNodeManagerProcess

    A process called WLS_NODEMANAGER is created on port 5555.

  4. When the Node Manager process is running, invoke the WebLogic Server Administration Console and follow the instructions for two tasks:

    5. The instructions for both tasks are available at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/adminguide/nodemgr.html

Now you can use the Node Manager to start and stop Managed Servers from the WebLogic Server Administration Console.

Building Examples with Ant

  1. Log in to the bea account.
  2. Set up the Examples environment:

    3. $ @WL_HOME:[samples.domains.examples]setExamplesEnv.com
    $ SET DEFAULT WL_HOME:[samples.server.examples.src.examples.jndi]

  3. To build the example, enter the following command:
    4. $ java org.apache.tools.ant.Main

Configuring the Apache Plugins

The Apache Plugins are built for use with Version 1.3x of the Apache HTTP Server. For instructions on how to configure the Apache plugins and additional information, see the following URL:

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/plugins
