Global Prerequisites

Two prerequisites exist for each task documented in this book.

• The WebLogic Administration Server is used to perform or verify many operations. Therefore, to perform any task that alters the WebLogic 8 environment, the Administration Server must be configured within the provisioning system with the correct connection information and running.

  Note –

  The Administration Server does not need to be online when installing the WebLogic software, creating the WebLogic Domain, or when creating the enterprise application (EAR), web application (WAR), and Java archive (JAR) files.

• All tasks within the provisioning system require that you have specific permissions. To perform tasks with the WebLogic plug-in, you must belong to a user group that has the Run Component Procedures permission on the folder that contains the component. You must also have the Allow on Host Set permission for the host set on which you plan to deploy the component.

  For more information about permissions, see Chapter 3, Controlling Access Using Permissions, in Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.1 System Administration Guide.

  For information about how to update your group membership, see How to Change a User’s Group Membership in Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.1 System Administration Guide.
