Creating a WebLogic 8 environment within the provisioning system is similar to the process of creating the environment without the provisioning system.
(Optional) Install WebLogic 8 application on a reference server.
By installing and configuring a reference server, you can verify that the configuration works as desired and then replicate the configuration across multiple hosts.
Import the WebLogic 8 plug-in.
See Importing Plug-Ins in Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.2 System Administration Guide.
Set the WebLogic session variables: WL_DEFAULT_PASSWORD and WL_DEFAULT_USER.
Prepare all hosts.
The WebLogic 8 plug-in contains a new system service that must be distributed to all hosts in the provisioning system. See Preparing a Physical Host in Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.2 System Administration Guide.
Install the WebLogic software.
Create a WebLogic domain by installing an Administrative Server.
See How to Create a WebLogic 8 Domain and Administration Server.
Create a Managed Server in the new WebLogic domain.
Create and Install the WebLogic license component.
See How to Create a License Component and How to Install a License Component.
(Optional) Create a WebLogic 8 cluster.
(Optional) Add a cluster member by assigning existing Managed Servers to the cluster.
If necessary, configure the application's connection to the database.
Configure a connection pool.
(Optional) Configure a Multi Pool.
Configure a data source or transactional data source.
See Data Source and Transaction Data Source Component Types.
If the application uses Java Messaging Service, configure the JMS server.

An application can target either a cluster or a Managed Server.
