Oracle WebLogic Installation Steps

Atul,

Can you explain in your post how to implement weblogic cluster and how to deploy application on weblogic. Also it is very important to know how to use multicast address in cluster.

Give Stress on real aspect of application server not just installation steps which ready avaiable on oracle sites.

This post doesn’t appears to me very impressive.

Idea

Thanks Idea for this and your previous comments but while posting I need to take care of all my readers. This post is for newbie and once these readers are familiar with basic installation, I’ll cover advance deployemnt scenarios like weblogic cluster, deploying application in WebLogic or securing weblogic using SSL.
Things which appear easy to you; may not be easy for others and things which sound complicated or advance to you may be very easy for experienced administrator.
I’ll explain WebLogic in logical format from easy to advance deployment.

About your comment on “”not just installation steps which ready avaiable on oracle sites”” Everything including these advanced deployment (requested by you above) are documented in Oracle/BEA guide. Objective behind such basic post is that users (New to WebLogic) and wish to install WebLogic donot have to read 100 pages installation guide.

Hi Atul,

Is IBM Weblogic is same as Oracle Weblogic, i am newbie. Can you tell me what is Oracle Weblogic ?? what it is used for?? It will help me in understanding basic concepts before building main structure.

Regards
Prashanth

No, Oracle WebLogic is Oracle’s J2EE server. This was earlier BEA’s J2EE Server which Oracle Aquired and repackaged it as Oracle WebLogic Server. Oracle’s own J2EE server is Oracle Application Server.
IBM has their own J2EE server called IBM websphere.
Similarly opensource J2EE server is JBOSS

J2EE Servers are used to run J2EE applications (WAR, EAR, JAR…)

Hi Atul,

We’d like, if possible to have a non-root process start a web server (Weblogic 10.1 on OEL ) and bind to port 80.

We realize that the standard is that ports below 1024 are generally protected for root only. We also notice, however, that apache attaches to

port 80 via the www account rather than root.

How does it do this, so how can we do it for a non-root account.

Can you pls send the steps to configure WL server listen port to 80 for non root.

Reg
Sharath

Sharath,
Check this http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs100/config_wls/web_server.html

You need to set following properties
weblogic.system.enableSetUID
weblogic.system.nonPrivUser
weblogic.system.nonPrivGroup

available from console check under “Configuring the Listen Port”

Hi Atul,

I was follwing your post reg configuring listen port to 80 on linux machines.

We had installed our installed our binary using oracle:dba user,admin server is configured to 7001.

i have set below properties

weblogic.system.enableSetUID
weblogic.system.nonPrivUser
weblogic.system.nonPrivGroup

for machine and changed the listen port to port 80,since i didnt had managed server and have created new managed server and mapped to machine i have created with above property.which is listening on port 80.

when i am starting my managed server i am getting below error.

For server Itech_Server, the Node Manager associated with machine Itech_Machine is not reachable.

All of the servers selected are currently in a state which is incompatible with this operation or are not associated with a running Node Manager or you are not authorized to perform the action requested. No action will be performed.

I have started the weblogic server as root user.

Pls let me know what mistake i am doing while configuring my linux WL machine to port 80.

one more thing after changing the port to 80,how i have to start my WL server as root or oracle.because i installed WL binary as oracle:dba.

Sharath,
How are you starting managed server ?

Is managed server and admin server on same linux machine ?

Yes Atul,Admin and Managed server is in same Linux box.

@ Sarath,
Did you use

startManagedWebLogic.sh

Hi Atul,

I running my weblogic server on port 7780,but while shutdown its trying to connect to port 7001,can you pls guide me how to solve this proeblem

Did you use 7780 during installation or changed from 7001 to 7780 later ?

Check config.xml, if there is any server/service using using 7001 to find why admin server is contacting port 7001

yes, we have changed from 7001 to 7780 after installation,checked config.xml file there is no entry of port 7001.

Hi,

When creating a Portal domain within WebLogic Portal 10.3, we try to modify our database settings to use a custom Oracle database instead of the default PointBase database. We put in the same values for all the Databases that we need to configure (cgDataSource, portalDataSourceAlwaysXA etc). The domain gets created successfully, however when trying to start it up, we get the following errors:

Can you suggest a way forward?

I got the same error as above. The fix is fairly simple. Login as “weblogic” user in Oracle and run the script under $BEA_HOME\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\rdbms_security_store_oracle.sql file and you’ll be good to go.

I didn’t realize this for quite some time. When I tried to create a new domain, I noticed this message on top bar in the second screen (fine print!)

Hi Atul,

Nice round up, I’ve written a step by step guide of similar kind, please echo your comments

http://zakkiahmed.wordpress.com/2010/07/23/step-by-step-install-and-configure-weblogic-server/

Hi Atul,

The Oracle weblogic installation went fine. I have created a new Domain (Cluster_domain) with one Administration Server (AdminServer), two Managed Server (MS1 & MS2) in cluster (cluster_1). The Administration Server and both Managed Server are installed on single Windows machine. I’m trying to setup both Administration server and the managed server to run as Windows services but with no luck.

Do you have any documentation on setting up both Admin server and managed servers to run as Windows services? Any help will be grateful.

Thanks
Gary

@ Gary,
see if you can find beasvc file in 10.3.X

This is doc for 8.1.X weblogic
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81b/adminguide/winservice.html

or try link http://ananthkannan.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-to-create-weblogic-server-as.html

Hi Atul Kumar.,

We are going to write one script to monitor the environment whether it is up or not .

Can any one give some inputs gor this issue.

@ Chandrasekhar,
For list of services (applications) running on weblogic server (admin or managed) more information on Admin/Managed servers here http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2008/07/24/domain-administration-managed-server-cluster-in-oracle-weblogic/

Hi Atul/All,

Could you please provide me any link/source to download any version of the Oracle WegLogic server for the operation system AIX6.1

I tried lot.I couldn’t find anything for AIX.Please help me on this.

Thanks,
Asim nk

@ asmnk,
You should download JAR version of weblogic (one listed under generic)

Install JDK 1.6 for AIX 6.1 and then use $JDK_HOME/bin/java -jar .jar

Thanks a lot Atul.

I am new to Weblogic and not familar with AIX, thats why i am asking very simple doubts.

I have downloaded “wls1211_generic.jar” from the link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/index.html and i have downloaded JDK 1.6

The steps will follow:

1.First I need to install jdk 1.6
2.$JDK_HOME/bin/java -jar wls1211_generic.jar

If the above steps are wrong, could you please correct me.

And How I can start the weblogic (Path).

Thanks,
Asim nk

@ asmnk,
weblogic 12c is development only. Install 10.3.5 (11g R1) weblogic instead using steps you mentioned above

Thanks Atul,

wls1211_generic.jar, I can see only in 12C version. But I have searched for the 10.3.5 for the “generic.jar” version.I couldn’t any thing.Could you please help me to download the same/link.
Sugget me , which java – Sun or IBM java need to install before installing WebLogic?

Thanks
Asim nk

Hi,
I want to deploy oracle 11g forms and reports on Weblogic server. How can I do that. Did you wrote any articles about that.Please let me know about the process to deploy 11g forms and reports in web logic server as we deploy oracle 10g forms and reports in oracle application server.

@ Md. Mizanur Rahman,
I am assuming you already have forms & reports server 11g running .

To deploy forms application on 11g R2 forms server check this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24477/basics.htm#i1009782

To deploy report on 11g R2 reports server check this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24479/pbr_run003.htm#i1008764

Thanks brother for your kind replay. It is really useful for me. I need to install oracle 11g forms and reports developer. Do you have any easy article about that, because i found your articles are very easy to follow. Please help me in that point.
