To Create a Domain

After installing Enterprise Server and creating the default domain (domain1), you can create additional domains by using the local create-domain command. This command creates the configuration of a domain.

Any user who has access to the asadmin utility on a given system can create a domain and store the domain configuration in a folder of choice. By default, the domain configuration is created in the default directory for domains. You can override this location to store the configuration elsewhere.

1. Select a name for the domain that you are creating.

   You can verify that a name is not already in use by listing the existing domains:

   asadmin list-domains

2. Create a domain by using the create-domain(1) command.

Example 2–1 Creating a Domain

The following example command creates a domain named domain1 . When you type the command, you might be prompted for login information.

asadmin create-domain --adminport 4848 domain1

Information similar to the following is displayed:

Enter admin user name[Enter to accept default]>
Using port 4848 for Admin.
Default port 8080 for HTTP Instance is in use. Using 1161

Using default port 3820 for IIOP_SSL.

Domain domain1 created.
Command create-domain executed successfully.

To start the Administration Console in a browser, enter the URL in the following format:

http://hostname:5000

For this example, the domain’s log files, configuration files, and deployed applications now reside in the following directory:

domain-root-dir/mydomain
