Using WebLogic Remote Console

Use the Oracle WebLogic Remote Console to administer and monitor the WebLogic server processes.

Note: The WebLogic Remote Console replaces the WebLoigc Server Administration Console that was used in previous releases.

The WebLogic Remote Console can be installed as a desktop application (recommended) or a hosted web application. This section gives a brief introduction to using the WebLogic Remote Console for a PeopleSoft environment. Use these resources for complete information:

Accessing the WebLogic Remote Console

To access the WebLogic Remote Console:

  1. Follow the installation instructions in the Oracle WebLogic documentation.

  2. Access the WebLogic Remote Console in one of these ways:

    • If you are using the desktop application, add the provider with the admin server user name, password, and this URL: https://<server>:<port>.

    • If you are using the hosted web application, enter this URL in your browser address field:

      http://<server>:<port>/rconsole

      For example,

      http://server08.example.com:8000/rconsole

    • If it is a multi server installation the Remote Console from the Admin Server is always running on port 9999.

      You must set up a multi server installation manually. If you use the Remote Console hosted web in a multi server installation, the URL is: http://<server>:9999/rconsole.

      If you use the desktop application, enter http://<server>:9999 as the URL for the provider.

    The default ports for the web server (PIA) set by the DPK setup script are 8000 for HTTP and 8443 for HTTPS. The ports are listed in the psft_configuration.yaml file. See PeopleSoft PeopleTools <current release> Deployment Packages Installation.

  3. On the sign in page, enter the name for the WebLogic server administrator and password that you supplied during the PeopleSoft environment installation.

    If you accepted the default, the administrator name is system.

  4. Under Providers, select Add Admin Server Connection Provider.

    This example illustrates the Providers menu.

  5. Supply the required connection information.

    • Connection Provider Name — Enter the host name for the web server.

    • Username — Enter the WebLogic administrator name. The default is system.

    • Password — Enter the password for the WebLogic administrator.

    • URL — Enter the URL to access PIA, http://<server>:<port>.

    • Proxy Override (optional)

    • Make Insecure Connection

      Do not select this option for SSL environments.

    This example illustrates the Create Provider for Admin Server Connection window.
