  16. Click Add button to create ManagedServer.
  17. Select the Server Group as JRF-MAN-SVR. Selecting this server group ensures that the Oracle JRF services are targeted to the specific Managed Servers created.

    Note:

    It is recommended to create two managed servers, one each for UI and Web Services.
  18. Click Next.

  25. Once the creation of the Domain is complete, click Finish to close the window.

    Note:

    The default Weblogic installation will be running JVM with 512MB, this has to be increased for the ADF managed server. Say, for a 2 CPU Quad Core with 16 GB it could have the JVM running at 8 GB as:

    USER_MEM_ARGS="-Xms8192m –Xmx8192m -XX:PermSize=2048m -XX:Max­PermSize=2048m"

  26. Install Application JAR to OFSLL Domain lib Directory
    • Copy the OfsllCommonCSF.jar from /WEB-INF/lib available in the staging area to $DOMAIN_HOME/lib

    • Update the setDomainEnv.sh file ($MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/mydomain/bin directory) by appending the above jar file path – EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES="…….. ${EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES} -Dofsll.csf.path=${DOMAIN_HOME}"

  27. The "$MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<mydomain>" directory contains a script that can be used to start the Admin server.
    • $ cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<mydomain>/bin
    • $ ./startWebLogic.sh

    If the server is required to be running and access to command line needs to be returned use "nohup" and "&"

    $ nohup ./startWebLogic.sh &

  28. To Start Managed Server
    • $ cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<mydomain>/bin
    • $ ./$MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<mydomain>/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh {ManagedServer_name} {AdminServer URL}

    If the server is required to be running and access to command line needs to be returned use "nohup" and "&".

    $ nohup ./$MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<mydomain>/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh {ManagedServer_name} {AdminServer URL} &

    The recommended parameters for each Managed Server for application and web services are as follows:

    • For managed server where application is deployed:
