This chapter describes how to create and configure a Converged Application Server domain.
After you install the Converged Application Server software, you must create a domain for your deployment. Before continuing in this chapter, you need to understand WebLogic domains and clustering, and the domain topologies available for use with Converged Application Server
To learn about WebLogic domains and clustering, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Domain Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server documentation set.
To learn about the domain topologies available for use with Converged Application Server, see Converged Application Server Concepts.
You can create the domain using:
The Graphical Mode Domain Configuration Wizard, a GUI tool that guides you through the domain creation process.
The Console Mode Domain Configuration Wizard, a text-only version of the Graphical Mode Configuration Wizard.
Jython scripts.
There are a selection of domain templates to choose from:
Basic Domain
The Basic Domain template enables you to create a simple Converged Application Server domain. Such a domain configuration can be used during development where it is more convenient to deploy and test applications on a single server. The Basic Domain topology can also be used in deployment that do not have high-availability and scalability requirements.
This domain template is specified in oracle.communications.occasbasic.template-5.1.0.0.0.jar
The domain configuration script for this domain type is occas-basic.py
Replicated Domain
The Replicated Domain template enables you to create a replicated Converged Application Server domain. The Replicated Domain topology is designed for use with SIP applications that require high levels of scalability, availability, and performance.
This domain template is specified in oracle.communications.occasreplicated.template-5.1.0.0.0.jar
The domain configuration script for this domain type is occas-replicated.py
Proxy Registrar - Basic Domain
The Proxy Registrar - Basic Domain template lets you create a non-clustered (single-server) Converged Application Server domain with the Proxy Registrar component. The Proxy Registrar combines the functionality of a SIP proxy server and registrar. Its main tasks include registering subscribers, looking up subscriber locations, and proxying requests onward. The Proxy and Registrar functions are described in RFC 3261.
The Proxy Registrar - Basic Domain template creates a domain appropriate for development environments, or cases where high availability is not an important consideration.
This domain template is specified in oracle.communications.proxyregistrar.template-5.1.0.0.0.jar
The domain configuration script for this domain type is occas-proxyregistrar.py and the associated properties file is occas-proxyregistrar.properties
Proxy Registrar - Replicated Domain
The Proxy Registrar - Replicated Domain template lets you create a clustered (multi-server) Converged Application Server domain with the Proxy Registrar component. The Proxy Registrar Replicated Domain template creates a domain appropriate for production environments where high availability and scalability are crucial.
This domain template is specified in oracle.communications.replicatedproxyregistrar.template-5.1.0.0.0.jar
The domain configuration script for this domain type is occas-proxyregistrar-replicated.py and the associated properties file is occas-proxyregistrar-replicated.properties
The domain template JARs for these domain types are located in the directory MW_Home/occas_5.1/common/templates/applications
The domain configuration scripts and property file are located in the directory MW_Home/occas_5.1/common/templates/scripts/wlst
To add Diameter support, you must extend an already existing domain with Diameter components. The domain extension template is MW_Home/wlserver_10.3/common/templates/domains/diameterdomain.jar.

A JDBC data source contains a pool of database connections that are created when the data source instance is created - when it is deployed or targeted, or at server startup. Applications look up a data source on the JNDI tree, and then request a connection.
Configure the Location Service, Security Service, and User Service JDBC data sources.
Select the Location Service, Security Service, and User Service check boxes to configure these data sources simultaneously. To configure these data sources separately, select each individually and enter the information for each service.
Typically, the fields you may need to edit include:
Vendor: Select the database vendor from the list; the default is Oracle.
Driver: Select the driver for your database type from the list.
Username: The Converged Application Server user name you created when you installed the database.
Password: The Converged Application Server password you created when you installed the database (it is not be echoed on the screen).
DBMS/Service: Enter name of the database created for use by Converged Application Server.
Host Name: Where the database is located; the default is localhost.
Port: Enter the port number for contacting the database. For Oracle, the default is 1521. For MySQL, the default is 3306.
Configure selected data sources as RAC multi data sources in the next panel. Check this check box if you are using Oracle Real Application Cluster features.
Click Next to save your changes and continue.
If you checked the Configure selected data sources as RAC multi data sources in the next panel box in the Configure JDBC Data Sources screen, this screen appears next. Follow these steps to configure JDBC data sources:

E to exit the wizard.
Confirm an entry by pressing the Enter key.
This section describes how to creating and configuring a domain using Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST).
The WLST scripting environment is based on the Java scripting interpreter, Jython. For more information on WLST, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool.
You define your domain configuration settings by editing a set of Jyhton scripts and associated properties files. Each domain topology has it's own set of scripts and associated property file.
The scripts and property files are designed to mimic as closely as possible the choices available in the GUI Domain Configuration Wizard. For instructions on configuration settings to edit, see the section "Configuring Domain Settings Using the GUI Configuration Wizard".
This section assumes that you have followed the instructions in Editing the Domain Configuration Scripts.
To run the Domain Configuration scripts on a Windows platform:
Opens a command prompt window (Windows) or a shell (UNIX or Linux).
Change directory to WL_home\server\bin
Where WL_home is the directory in which WebLogic is installed. For example: C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3
Set the environment variables by running:
Windows: setWLSEnv.cmd
UNIX or Linux: setWLSEnv.sh
Execute the command java weblogic.WLST Domain_Config_Script
Where Domain_Config_Script is the name of the domain configuration script.
Example:
java weblogic.WLST occas-basic.py
