5 Creating or Extending a Domain

A domain is a logically related group of Oracle WebLogic Server resources. It consists of a special Oracle WebLogic Server instance known as Administration Server, which is the central point. You can configure and manage all resources in the domain from the Administration Server. Any additional Oracle WebLogic instances in a domain are known as Managed Servers. You can run Oracle On Track on the Administration Server or on the Managed Servers.

This chapter discusses the process of creating an Oracle WebLogic domain.

This chapter consists of the following sections:

Note:

If you are using Oracle WebLogic Server for the first time, then follow these steps before you create the domain:
  1. Start the Node manager from $Middleware_Home/wlserver_10.3/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh.

  2. Set StartScriptEnabled=true and StopScriptEnabled=true in the nodemanager.properties.File. The location is $Middleware_Home/wlserver_10.3/common/nodemanager/nodemanager.properties

Configuration Instructions

To start the Configuration Wizard, perform the following steps:

The Welcome screen is displayed.

Welcome

Surrounding text describes welcome.gif.

The Welcome screen is displayed each time you start the Configuration Wizard.

If you are performing a fresh installation of Oracle WebLogic Server, then select Create a new WebLogic domain to create a new WebLogic domain in your projects directory.

Select Extend an existing WebLogic Domain if you have an already existing domain with Oracle On Track. If you have selected this option, then see Extend an Existing WebLogic Domain.

Select Domain Source

Surrounding text describes source.gif.

Select the source from which you want to create your new domain.

Select Generate a domain configured automatically to support the following products to create your domain to support selected products. Select Oracle On Track - 1.0.0.0, Oracle JRF - 11.1.1.0, and any other product for which you need the support.

Note:

For the Oracle On Track Communication Release1.0, you should only select Generate a domain configured automatically to support the following products.

Select Base this domain on an existing template if you want to create your domain based on an existing domain template. Click Browse to navigate your directories to find an existing template.

Specify Domain Name and Location

Surrounding text describes location.gif.

Specify the following information for the domain you are creating:

Note:

On Windows, be sure to include the drive letter when you specify the domain location.

Configure Administrator User Name and Password

Surrounding text describes username.gif.

Create a user that will be assigned to the Administrator role of Oracle WebLogic Server.

Configure Server Start Mode and JDK

Surrounding text describes serverstart.gif.

In the WebLogic Domain Startup Mode section, select one of the following startup modes:

In the JDK Selection section, select the recommended JDK for your startup mode from the list of available JDKs, or select Other JDK and click Browse to find another JDK on your system. The recommended JDKs are described in the text for each mode in the WebLogic Domain Startup Mode section.

Configure JDBC Component Schema

Surrounding text describes jdbc.gif.

Configure the schema owner and password.

Review the table on this screen and identify which fields you need to modify:

Test Component Schema

Surrounding text describes test.gif.

Verify that the connections to your data sources are successful.

Select Optional Configuration

Surrounding text describes optional.gif.

There are many configuration options available depending on the topology. In a simple installation, you select Administration Server as the server for Oracle On Track.

Select any category for which you want to perform custom or advanced configuration. Note that selection of any of these categories is optional, and your domain is created or extended even if you choose not to customize any of these categories.

Typically, these screens do not need to be modified unless required. For more information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle WebCenter.

If you want to run Oracle On Track on a separate server than the administration server, then select both the Deployment Services and Managed Server and cluster options. For more information on this configuration, see Chapter 4, "Working with Managed Servers and Administrative Server".

Note:

In the Select Optional Configuration screen, if you have selected Managed Servers, Clusters and Machines, then refer Target Deployments to Clusters or Servers Screen.

Configure Administration Server

Surrounding text describes configure.gif.

The Administration Server is the primary tool used to manage an Oracle WebLogic Server domain.

One Oracle WebLogic Server instance in each domain is configured as the Administration Server. If you have multiple Oracle WebLogic Server instances, then all the other instances are referred to as Managed Servers. In a domain with only one Oracle WebLogic Server instance, that instance functions both as Administration Server and Managed Server.

Ensure that you always select SSL enabled and specify the SSL Listen Port because SSL is essential for the real-time plugin.

Configuration Summary

Surrounding text describes summary.gif.

Verify the information on this screen. In the Summary View field, select a category from the list to view information about that category:

Use the Previous button if you want to return to a previous screen to alter some portion of the configuration.
