Sun N1 Service Provisioning System User's Guide for BEA WebLogic 9 Plug-in 1.0

Installing Configuration Services

After you create your configuration components, you can deploy these services to your Administration Server.

When you install a configuration component, the file or directory is copied to the file system based on the install path. Once that copy finishes, the file or directory is registered with the WebLogic Administration Server.

You can install the component by navigating to the component Details page and running the Install component procedure. Many components require that you edit certain component variables. See WebLogic Configuration Component Types and Variablesfor variables that require custom values.

ProcedureHow to Install Configuration Services

This procedure describes how to install the following components.

Before You Begin

If you want to install JMS Queues, Topics, Connection Factories, or Destination Keys, you must first configure a JMS Module to hold the configuration information for these components. See How to Configure a JMS Module for more information.
