.
Table 6-1 Starting Server Instances
To Start | Do The Following |
---|---|
The MedRec server |
Invoke:
The server starts as an Administration Server in the medrec domain. On Windows, you can start the Medical Records Server from the Start menu (WebLogic Server > Examples > Start Medical Records Server). By default, the username for the medrec domain is set to |
The MedRec server (Spring version) |

The server starts as an Administration Server in the medrec-spring domain. On Windows, you can start the Medical Records Server (Spring version) from the Start menu (WebLogic Server > Examples > Start Medical Records Server (Spring version)). By default, the username for the medrec domain is set to |
The Examples server |
Invoke:
The server starts as an Administration Server in the wl_server domain. On Windows, you can start the Examples Server from the Start menu (WebLogic Server > Examples > Start Examples Server). By default, the username for the wl_server domain is set to |
An Administration Server that you have created |
Invoke:
where If the server prompts you to enter a username and password, enter the name of a WebLogic Server user who has permission to start servers. For more information, see Provide User Credentials to Start and Stop Servers.. NOTE: In a development environment, it is usually sufficient to start an Administration Server and deploy your applications directly on the Administration Server. In a production environment, you typically create Managed Servers to run applications. On Windows, the Configuration Wizard creates a shortcut on the Start menu to start the Administration Server that you created (User Projects > |
Managed Servers |
For information on additional ways to start Managed Servers, see Chapter 2, "Starting and Stopping Servers". |
A cluster of Managed Servers |
To start clustered Managed Servers with Node Manager, see "Start Managed Servers in a cluster" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Help. |
It is recommended that you shutdown WebLogic Server instances through the Administration Console:
See "Shut down a server instance" and "Control graceful shutdowns" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Help.
For information on gracefully shutting down the Managed Servers in a cluster, see "Shutdown servers in a cluster" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Help.
Alternatively, invoke a WebLogic Server stop script to shutdown the server. See Shutting Down Servers with a Stop Script.
On Windows, you can stop the Medical Records Server, Medical Records Server (Spring version), Examples Server, and Administration Servers that you have created using the Configuration Wizard, from the Start menu.
