F Starting Servers and Processes

After a successful upgrade, restart all processes and servers, including the Administration Server and any Managed Servers.

The components may be dependent on each other so they must be started in the correct order.

Note:

The procedures in this section describe how to start servers and process using the WLST command line or a script. You can also use the Oracle Fusion Middleware Control and the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. See Starting and Stopping Administration and Managed Servers and Node Manager in Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware.

To start your Fusion Middleware environment, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Start the Administration Server

When you start the Administration Server, you also start the processes running in the Administration Server, including the WebLogic Server Administration Console and Fusion Middleware Control.

To start the Administration Server, use the startWebLogic script:

  • (UNIX) NEW_DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startWebLogic.sh

  • (Windows) NEW_DOMAIN_HOME\bin\startWebLogic.cmd

When prompted, enter your user name, password, and the URL of the Administration Server.

Step 2: Start Node Manager

To start Node Manager, use the startNodeManager script:

  • (UNIX) NEW_DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startNodeManager.sh

  • (Windows) NEW_DOMAIN_HOME\bin\startNodeManager.cmd

Step 3: Start Oracle Identity Management Components

Start any Oracle Identity Management components, such as Oracle Internet Directory, that form part of your environment:
  • (UNIX) NEW_DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startComponent.sh component_name

  • (Windows) NEW_DOMAIN_HOME\bin\startComponent.cmd component_name

Step 4: Start the Managed Servers

To start a WebLogic Server Managed Server, use the startManagedWebLogic script:

  • (UNIX) NEW_DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh managed_server_name admin_url

  • (Windows) NEW_DOMAIN_HOME\bin\startManagedWebLogic.cmd managed_server_name admin_url

When prompted, enter your user name and password.

Note:

The startup of a Managed Server will typically start the applications that are deployed to it. Therefore, it should not be necessary to manually start applications after the Managed Server startup.

Step 5: Start System Components

To start system components, such as Oracle HTTP Server, use the startComponent script:

  • (UNIX) NEW_DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startComponent.sh component_name

  • (Windows) NEW_DOMAIN_HOME\bin\startComponent.cmd component_name

You can start system components in any order.
