Create a WebLogic Server using WLST

In the previous blog we have seen how to Install and create Admin server . Now we will see how to create managed server ,start and stop .

run setWLSEnv.sh to load Weblogic Environment variables .

cd /apps/bea14/wlserver/server/bin
[wlsuser@localhost bin]$ ./setWLSEnv.sh 
CLASSPATH=/apps/java11_64/lib/tools.jar:/apps/bea14/wlserver/modules/features/wlst.wls.classpath.jar:

PATH=/apps/bea14/wlserver/server/bin:/apps/bea14/wlserver/../oracle_common/modules/thirdparty/org.apache.ant/1.10.5.0.0/apache-ant-1.10.5/bin:/apps/java11_64/bin:/apps/java11_64/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/home/wlsuser/.local/bin:/home/wlsuser/bin:/apps/bea14/wlserver/../oracle_common/modules/thirdparty/apache-maven_bundle/3.6.1.0.0/apache-maven-3.6.1/bin

Your environment has been set.
[wlsuser@localhost bin]$ 

Now run wlst.sh then run below commands to create managed server

[wlsuser@localhost wlserver]$ cd common/bin/
[wlsuser@localhost bin]$ ./wlst.sh

cd('/Servers/' + 'AppSrv01')
set('ListenAddress','127.0.0.1')
set('ListenPort', 7003)

disconnect()
exit()

To Start the managed server for the first time we need to create boot.properties file which holds admin id and password details . either we can create new file or copy from Admin security .

[wlsuser@localhost TESTDomain]$ cd servers/
[wlsuser@localhost servers]$ ls -lrt
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 7 wlsuser wlsuser 70 Dec 24 23:35 AdminServer

[wlsuser@localhost servers]$ mkdir AppSrv01
[wlsuser@localhost servers]$ cd AppSrv01/
[wlsuser@localhost AppSrv01]$ cp ../AdminServer/security/ .
cp: omitting directory ‘../AdminServer/security/’
[wlsuser@localhost AppSrv01]$ cp -R ../AdminServer/security/ .
[wlsuser@localhost AppSrv01]$ cd security/

Start Managed Weblogic server

nohup ./startManagedWebLogic.sh AppSrv01 t3://127.0.0.1:7001 &

[wlsuser@localhost TESTDomain]$ cd bin
[wlsuser@localhost bin]$ nohup ./startManagedWebLogic.sh AppSrv01 t3://127.0.0.1:7001 &
