Starting the Managed Servers

Once you have created the necessary Managed Servers—either on the same host as the Administration Server or on a different host in an installed WebLogic domain—you need to start them.

  1. Verify that you are logged into the system that will host the Managed Server (either the same system that is hosting the Administration Server for vertical deployment or a different system for horizontal deployment).

  2. Open a Command Prompt window (terminal window on Linux), and navigate to the following directory: 

    <weblogic_install_dir>\user_projects\domains\fiper

  3. Start the managed server.

    • Use the following command on Windows: 

    startManagedWebLogic.cmd <managed_server> http://<admin_url>:7001

    • Use the following commnad on Linux: 

    startWebLogic.sh <managed_server> http://<admin_url>:7001

    where <managed_server> specifies the name of the Managed Server and <admin_url> specifies the listen address (host name or IP address) and port number of the domain’s Administration Server.

    The servers specified here are those that you created earlier in Creating a Managed Server Using the ServerTemplate. The server names are case-sensitive.

    For example, the following command starts a Managed Server named WebTop and the listen address for the domain’s Administration Server is AdminHost:7001. 

    c:\bea\user_projects\domains\fiper\startManagedWebLogic.cmd 
WebTop http://AdminHost:7001

    The server begins to start, and several messages are displayed. You are prompted to specify a username and password.

  4. Type the username and password for starting the WebLogic Administration Server. This information was specified during the Administration Server domain installation (under Creating the WebLogic Domain Using the SIMULIA Execution Engine Administration Server Template).

    Additional server messages are displayed. After a few initial messages, no information appears in this dialog box. Instead, all the startup information is written to the <Server_Name>.log file, which is located in the following directory: 

    <weblogic_install_dir>\user_projects\domains\<domain_name>\s
ervers\<Server_Name>\log\

    where <Server_Name> is the name of the Managed Server.

    When the server successfully completes its startup process, it writes the following message to the <Server_Name>.log file: 

    <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <hostname> <Server_Name> <000360> 
<Server started in RUNNING mode>

  5. For each Managed Server that you want to start, repeat steps 1 through 4. You should start each Managed Server in a different Command Prompt window (terminal window on Linux).

    Note: If you are starting Managed Servers on another machine, log in to that machine (remotely or locally) and then repeat steps 2 through 4.

  6. Once you have set up all necessary managed servers and successfully started them, verify that they are running correctly by examining the Summary of Servers list in the WebLogic Administration Console (click the Environment/Servers option on the left side of the console). The list appears on the right side of the console. All servers that you have started should be in the RUNNING state.
