Start a Managed Server

You can send a POST request to synchronously start a Managed server in your WebLogic domain. The following steps show how to build this POST request using cURL:

1. Identify the host name and port of your domain's Administration Server and construct the GET request using the /management/weblogic/{version}/domainRuntime/serverLifeCycleRuntimes/{name}/start endpoint. This WebLogic Server request uses the following URL structure:

   http://localhost:7001/management/weblogic/{version}/domainRuntime/serverLifeCycleRuntimes/{name}/start

2. Specify the headers on the cURL command line:

   • -H X-Requested-By:MyClient

   • -H Accept:application/json

   • -H Content-Type:application/json

3. Construct the POST request. In the URL, specify the name of the server you want to start. In this example, we are starting the server, Cluster1Server1.

   http://localhost:7001/management/weblogic/latest/domainRuntime/serverLifeCycleRuntimes/Cluster1Server1/start

The following sample shows the complete POST request.

curl -v \
--user admin:admin123 \
-H X-Requested-By:MyClient \
-H Accept:application/json \
-X POST http://localhost:7001/management/weblogic/latest/domainRuntime/serverLifeCycleRuntimes/Cluster1Server1/start

The POST request returns the progress of the task. If the server starts successfully, the COMPLETED status is returned.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
