Single-Server Domains

In a single-server configuration, the WebLogic domain’s remote console for administration and the J2EE components of PIA are all provided on a single instance of WebLogic Server. This configuration is intended for single-user or very small scale, non-critical production environments. It can be used as a starting point for you to familiarize yourself with WebLogic Server.

In a single-server domain, the resources used to administer WebLogic Server and your PeopleSoft application are not isolated from one another, therefore you don't administer each element individually. While each element must compete for the same resources, the low resource requirements of this configuration make it ideal for small scale and non-production usage.

The single-server domain in a PeopleSoft implementation consists of only one server: PIA.

Note:

Do not create a web server domain using the names PIA, PIA1, PIA2, or weblogic. The name of the WebLogic domain and the server and cluster names within it must be unique. The names PIA, PIA1, and PIA2 are reserved for use by the PeopleSoft system. The name weblogic is reserved for use by the Oracle WebLogic software. These restrictions apply to single server and multi-server domain creation.

Single-Server Deployment

Some of the servlets deployed in a single-server domain configuration must be accessed using a modified URL:

http://server:port/servlet_name/...

The single-server domain configuration deploys servlets as follows:

Application	Deployed to Server	Servlet Name in URL
PORTAL	PIA	(not needed)
PSIGW	PIA	PSIGW
PSEMHUB	PIA	PSEMHUB
PSINTERLINKS	PIA	PSINTERLINKS
Remote Console	PIA	rconsole
HttpProxyServlet	Defined but not deployed.	(not needed)
HttpClusterServlet	Defined but not deployed.	(not needed)

Single-Server Domain Specific Settings

Use the WebLogic Remote Console to configure the single-server domain specific settings.

Click the Edit Tree tile, then select Environment, and then Servers, and then PIA. The default web application for the PIA server is PORTAL. The single-server domain specific default settings for the PIA server are as follows:

Setting	Default Value
Listen address	* (all local IPs).
Listen Port	8000 (set during PIA setup).
SSL Listen Port Enabled	Enabled with demonstration self-signed digital certificates.
SSL Listen Port	8443 (set during PIA setup).

Note:

To configure SSL, you must also define SSL certificates.

See Implementing WebLogic SSL Keys and Certificates.
