This appendix describes simple, frequently used ways to start and shut down instances of WebLogic Server 12.1.3.
This appendix includes the following sections:
For a comprehensive discussion of starting and shutting down WebLogic Server instances, see Chapter 2, "Starting and Stopping Servers."
In the following table, WL_HOME
refers to the top-level installation directory for WebLogic Server, such as c:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\wlserver\
.
Table A-1 Starting Server Instances
To Start | Do The Following |
---|---|
The MedRec server |
Invoke:
The server starts as an Administration Server in the medrec domain. For more information, see "Sample Applications and Code Examples" in Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server. |
The MedRec server (Spring version) |
Invoke:
The server starts as an Administration Server in the medrec-spring domain. For more information, see "Sample Applications and Code Examples" in Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server. |
The Examples server |
Invoke:
The server starts as an Administration Server in the wl_server domain. For more information, see "Sample Applications and Code Examples" in Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server. |
An Administration Server that you have created |
Invoke:
where If the server prompts you to enter a user name and password, enter the name of a WebLogic Server user who has permission to start servers. For more information, see Provide User Credentials to Start and Stop Servers. NOTE: In a development environment, it is usually sufficient to start an Administration Server and deploy your applications directly on the Administration Server. In a production environment, you typically create Managed Servers to run applications. |
Managed Servers |
For information on additional ways to start Managed Servers, see Chapter 2, "Starting and Stopping Servers." |
A cluster of Managed Servers |
To start clustered Managed Servers with Node Manager, see "Start Managed Servers in a cluster" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help. |
It is recommended that you shut down WebLogic Server instances through the Administration Console:
See "Shut down a server instance" and "Control graceful shutdowns" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help.
For information on gracefully shutting down the Managed Servers in a cluster, see "Shutdown servers in a cluster" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help.
Alternatively, invoke a WebLogic Server stop script to shutdown the server. See Shutting Down Servers with a Stop Script.
