4 Configuring Fusion Middleware Domains

The Configuration Wizard helps you install and configure the WebLogic Server in which other Fusion Middleware products are also installed in the same Oracle home.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Creating a WebLogic Domain for Fusion Middleware Products
  The Configuration Wizard takes you through a series of screens that help you create a WebLogic Server domain. Additional screens appear depending on the components that you add for the domain, and on other factors.
• Updating a WebLogic Domain That Includes Fusion Middleware Products
  The Configuration Wizard takes you through a series of screens that help you update the domain.

Creating a WebLogic Domain for Fusion Middleware Products

The Configuration Wizard takes you through a series of screens that help you create a WebLogic Server domain. Additional screens appear depending on the components that you add for the domain, and on other factors.

To create a new WebLogic domain that includes Fusion Middleware products installed with WebLogic Server, start the Configuration Wizard as described in Starting the Configuration Wizard.

Note:

In situations where you cannot run the Configuration Wizard in GUI mode, Oracle recommends that you use a WLST script to create or extend a domain. See Creating and Using a Domain Template (Offline) in Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool.

The Configuration Wizard screens appear in a sequence, in the order listed in Table 4-1. For more information on each screen, refer to the related section in Configuration Wizard Screens, or click the link in the Screen column.

Changes to any of the fields on this screen are applied to all selected component schemas in the table. For example, if all your schemas reside on the same database, select all the schemas in the table, then specify the appropriate database values for the schemas (DBMS/Service, Host Name, and Port). If, for example, you have a different password for each schema, you must select each schema individually and specify the password for the selected schema. Click Next to continue.
