Starting Endeca Server

Starting the Oracle Endeca Server application makes it available for WebLogic Server clients.

When you start the WebLogic Server in which the Endeca Server application is deployed, it automatically starts the Endeca Server application. If the application was running when WebLogic Server was shut down, WebLogic Server automatically re-starts the application as part of its start-up procedure. Additionally, you can manually start the Oracle Endeca Server application from the WebLogic Server Administration Console.

To start a stopped Oracle Endeca Server application:

  1. Make sure that the Administration Server for the Endeca domain is running.
  2. From your browser, access the Administration Server console using this syntax: 
    http://admin_server_host:admin_server_port/console
    For example: 
    http://web007:7001/console
  3. At the Administration Console login screen, log in with the administrator user name and password.
  4. In the Domain Structure pane, click Deployments (in the endeca_domain tree).
    WebLogic Server - Domain Structure for endeca_domain
  5. In the Deployments table, check the oracle.endecaserver Web application. Its State should be "Prepared" and its Health should be "OK", as in this abbreviated example:
  6. In the Deployments table, click Start > Servicing all requests (which makes the application immediately available to all WebLogic Server clients).

    You can also choose the Servicing only administration requests option, which makes the application available in Administration Mode only.

  7. In the Stop Application Assistant, click Yes.

As a result, the Endeca Server application is started and its State now changes to "Active".
