6 Download and Configure the WebLogic Remote Console

This chapter describes how to download and configure the WebLogic Remote Console.

Note:

For the initial configuration steps required in this Enterprise Deployment Guide, you will need access to the Administration Server listen address and administration port. Later on you will configure access from a frontend load balancer.

Perform the following steps to download and configure the WebLogic Remote Console:

1. Uninstall any previous versions of the WebLogic Remote Console from your computer.

2. Download the WebLogic Remote Console for your Operating System from https://github.com/oracle/weblogic-remote-console/releases.

3. Run the installer.

4. Install the WebLogic Remote Console extension in the WebLogic Server domain. The WebLogic Remote Console extension provides additional functionality when using the WebLogic Remote Console to manage WebLogic domains.

   Note:

   This step is optional.

   1. Create a management-services-ext directory under the domain home.

   2. Download the latest WebLogic Remote Console extension, console-rest-ext-<version>.war, from https://github.com/oracle/weblogic-remote-console/releases and save it inside the management-services-ext directory you created in the previous step. If you have an earlier version of the extension already downloaded, delete it and replace it with the latest version.

   3. Reboot the Administration Server if it is already running.

5. Launch the WebLogic Remote Console application. For example:

   ./weblogic-remote-console

   After configuring OAM and OIG later in this guide, you must connect to the domain provider using the Administration Servers listen address.
