Creating a Managed Server Using the ServerTemplate

After you have installed your WebLogic domain and started the Administration Server, you need to define servers within the Administration Server that will host your SIMULIA Execution Engine applications.

Regardless of whether you are going to run your applications on the same host as the Administration Server (vertical deployment strategy), on different hosts (horizontal deployment strategy), or a combination of the two, you first need to create the Managed Servers in the Administration Server.

Important: Do not create a separate managed server for the Federation (B2B) feature. This feature is deployed to the same managed server created for the SIMULIA Execution Engine deployment.

  1. On the left side of the WebLogic Administration Console, expand the Environment option.

  2. Click Servers.

  3. Click ServerTemplate on the right side of the console.

  4. Click Clone.

    The Clone a Server screen appears.

  5. Perform the following actions to define the new managed server:

    1. Type the name of the server in the Server Name text box. Each server within a domain must have a name that is unique for all configuration objects in the domain, and the name cannot be the same as the WebLogic server domain name.
    2. If you want to limit the valid addresses for a server instance, type an IP address or DNS name in the Server Listen Address text box. Otherwise, URLs to the server can specify any of the host computer’s IP addresses, any DNS name that maps to one of the IP addresses, or the localhost string.
    3. Type the port number from which you want to access the server instance in the Listen Port text box. If you run multiple server instances on a single computer (vertical deployment), each server must use its own listen port. If possible, it is recommended that you use port 7101 for the first managed server, 7201 for the second managed server, etc.

  6. Review the configuration options you have chosen and click OK.

    The server appears in the list of servers on the right side of the console.

  7. Click the server link in the Name column.

    The settings for the server appear.

  8. Change the port number listed in the SSL Listen Port text box. It is recommended that you set this port to the setting in the Listen Port text box, but increment it by one. For example, if you are using port 7201 for the Listen Port, set the SSL Listen Port to 7202.

  9. Click Save.

  10. (optional) Return to step 3 to create additional managed servers.

  11. Perform one of the following actions, based on your deployment strategy:
