This chapter describes the configuration wizard workflow for WebLogic Server installations in which other Fusion Middleware products are also installed in the same Oracle home.
This chapter contains the following sections:
To create a new WebLogic domain which 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. For more information, see "Creating and Using a Domain Template (Offline)" in Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool.
The Configuration Wizard displays a sequence of screens, in the order listed in Table 4-1. For more information on each screen, refer to the related section in Chapter 5, "Configuration Wizard Screens," or click the link in the Screen column.

For example, if all of your schemas reside on the same database, select all of 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, then you must select each schema individually and specify the password for the selected schema only. Click Next to continue. |
