This appendix includes the following sections:
For a comprehensive discussion of starting and shutting down WebLogic Server instances, see Starting and Stopping Servers.
You can use simple methods to start WebLogic Server instances that include the administration server, managed servers, cluster of managed servers, and other example servers.
In the following table, WL_HOME
refers to the top-level installation directory for WebLogic Server, such as c:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\wlserver\
.
Table A-1 Starting Server Instances
To Start | Do The Following |
---|---|
The MedRec server |
Invoke:
The server starts as an Administration Server in the medrec domain. For more information, see Sample Applications and Code Examples in Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server. |
The MedRec server (Spring version) |
Invoke:
The server starts as an Administration Server in the medrec-spring domain. For more information, see Sample Applications and Code Examples in Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server. |
The Examples server |
Invoke:
The server starts as an Administration Server in the wl_server domain. For more information, see Sample Applications and Code Examples in Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server. |
An Administration Server that you have created |
Invoke:
where If the server prompts you to enter a user name 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. |
Managed Servers |
For information on additional ways to start Managed Servers, see 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 Online Help. |
Use the recommended methods to shut down the server instances. These methods help to stop the server instance smoothly without any session data loss.
It is recommended that you shut down WebLogic Server instances through the Administration Console:
See Shut down a server instance and Control graceful shutdowns in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online 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 Online Help.
Alternatively, invoke a WebLogic Server stop script to shutdown the server. See Shutting Down Servers with a Stop Script.
