Creating the WebLogic Domain Using the SIMULIA Execution Engine Administration Server Template

You must create a WebLogic domain for your SIMULIA Execution Engine environment if you are creating a new SIMULIA Execution Engine or if you are migrating from SIMULIA Execution Engine 2016 to 2017.

  1. Verify that you have WebLogic installed on the system that will host the Administration Server.

  2. Verify that you have initialized your database as described in Initializing the SIMULIA Execution Engine Database.

  3. Perform one of the following actions, based on your operating system:

    • Windows: Click Start, point to All Programs/Oracle WebLogic/WebLogic Server 12c/Tools, and click Configuration Wizard.

    • Linux: Execute the ./config.sh command in the directory <weblogic_install>/wlserver_12.1/common/bin/.

    The Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard dialog box appears.

  4. Verify that Create a new WebLogic domain is selected.

  5. Click Next.

    The Select Domain Source screen appears.

  6. Click Base this domain on an existing template.

  7. Click Browse, and navigate to the following directory: 

    <SEE_install_dir>/<os_dir>/reffiles/SMAFIPserver/weblogic/deploy/

  8. Select the AdminServer.jar file, and click OK.

    You are returned to the Configuration Wizard.

  9. Click Next.

  10. (optional) Change the domain name and location in the corresponding text box, if desired. It is recommended that you not change these default settings, if possible.

  11. Click Next.

    The Configure Administrator User Name and Password screen appears.

  12. If desired, change the username or password.

    You are provided with default username and password settings (seeadmin and seeadmin4, respectively). This information is used to start the server (in Production Mode) and log in to the WebLogic Administration Console (the browser-based interface).

  13. Click Next.

    The Configure Server Start Mode and JDK screen appears.

  14. Click Production Mode.

  15. In the Available JDKs area, verify that Sun SDK 1.7 is selected. If it is not selected, click it to select it.

    Note: If there is no appropriate JDK listed, you must install the JDK manually. For more information, contact your local system administrator.

  16. Click Next.

    The Configure JDBC Data Sources screen appears.

  17. Click the check box adjacent to the Fiper XA Data Source option.

  18. In the text boxes at the top of the wizard, change the following settings for your database:

    • DBMS/Service: The name of the database (for example, fiper)

    • Host Name: The name of the computer where the database is running.

    • Port: If necessary, alter this number to match the port for your database.

  19. Clear (uncheck) Fiper XA Data Source.

  20. If you have a nonXA data source, click the check box adjacent to the Fiper nonXA Data Source option and change the following settings for your database:

    • DBMS/Service: The name of the nonXA database (for example, fiper)

    • Host Name: The name of the computer where the nonXA database is running.

    • Port: If necessary, alter this number to match the port for your nonXA database.

  21. Clear (uncheck) Fiper nonXA Data Source.

  22. Click Next.

    The data source connections are tested, and the status is displayed. Verify that both connections were successful.

    Important: Do not proceed if either of the test connections fail. Both tests must be successful for the domain installation to complete properly. For more information about connecting your database, contact your local database administrator or system administrator.

  23. Click Next.

    The Select Optional Configuration screen appears.

  24. Click Next.

    The Configuration Summary appears.

  25. Click Create.

    The status of the operation is displayed. Verify that the domain was successfully created.

    Note: It is recommended that you make note of the Admin Server URLs. You will need the URLs to log into the Administrative Console from your browser.

  26. Click Done when the operation is complete.
