Setting the Node Manager as a Windows Service

You can set the WebLogic node manager as a windows service in your production environments.

To set up node manager as a windows service:

Stop any running instances of the WebLogic node manager.
Navigate to the WebLogic Server installation home directory, then navigate to server\bin.
In the server\bin folder modify the installNodeMgrSvc.cmd file using a text editor of your choice, and comment out the following lines:
- Note: Add @REM at the beginning of a line to comment out the line.
set NODEMGR_HOST=localhost

set NODEMGR_PORT=5556
Run the installNodeMgrSvc.cmd file to create the node manager windows service.
Note: To modify the port number on which node manager runs, navigate to the WebLogic Server installation home directory, then navigate to common\nodemanager. Open the nodemanager.properties file in a text editor of your choice and set the value of ListenPort to the port number you'd like to use in your environment.
