Use the WebLogic Server Administration Console to Deploy and Manage Applications

You can use the WebLogic Server Administration Console to deploy and manage applications in an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance, just as you would deploy and manage applications in an on-premises Oracle WebLogic Server environment.

Besides this documentation, the following video and tutorial are available to help you learn how to use the WebLogic Server Administration Console to deploy applications:

Tutorial

By default, if you created your service instance in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic region, remote access to the administration console is disabled for security purposes. If you did not enable console access while provisioning your service instance, see Enabling Console Access in an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance.

Use the WebLogic Server Administration Console to Deploy an Application

You can use the WebLogic Server Administration Console to deploy applications to an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance.

1. Sign in to the web console.
2. Look for the name of the instance on which you want to deploy an application.
3. Click Manage this instance , and select Open WebLogic Server Administration Console.
4. Sign in using credentials you specified when you created the Oracle Java Cloud Service instance.
   If you did not create the service instance, ask your administrator for the login credentials.
5. In the Change Center of the WebLogic Server Administration Console, click Lock & Edit if that button is enabled.
6. Under Domain Structure, select Deployments.
7. On the Deployments page, click Install.
