Creating a Standalone Domain using the offline WLST commands

  1. Launch the WLST command shell.

    $ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh

  2. Run the following command to create an Oracle Traffic Director standalone domain. For more information, see the otd_createStandaloneDomain command in WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference for Oracle Traffic Director..

    > props = {'domain-home': '$DOMAIN_HOME'}
> otd_createStandaloneDomain(props)

Creating a Standalone Domain using the Configuration Wizard

Instance Management

  • Start an Oracle Traffic Director instance.

    $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OTD/instances/INSTANCE_NAME/bin/startserv

  • Stop an Oracle Traffic Director instance.

    $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OTD/instances/INSTANCE_NAME/bin/stop

  • Restart an Oracle Traffic Director instance.

    $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OTD/instances/INSTANCE_NAME/bin/restart

  • Delete an Oracle Traffic Director instance

    $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OTD/instances/INSTANCE_NAME/bin/delete

  • Reconfigure an Oracle Traffic Director instance.

    Reconfigure will dynamically apply configuration changes on instances without a server restart. Only dynamically reconfigurable changes in the configuration take effect. If there are any changes in the configuration that need a restart, restart required message will be shown on std out.

    $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OTD/instances/$INSTANCE_NAME/bin/reconfig

  • Rotate log files.

    The server saves the old log files and marks the saved files with a name that includes the date and time when they were rotated.

    $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/components/OTD/instances/INSTANCE_NAME/bin/rotate
