Creating a New Domain in Graphical Mode

Domain Creation
Creating a New Domain in Graphical/Console Mode:
The following example explains how to create a new WebLogic Server domain in Graphical/Console Mode
1. Start the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode.
– On Windows:
Start? Programs? BEA Products? Tools? Configuration Wizard
– On UNIX:
Go to the /common/bin subdirectory of the product installation directory. For example:
cd $BEAHOME/weblogic92/common/bin
Enter sh config.sh
2. In the Welcome window, select Create a new WebLogic domain and click Next.
3. In the Select a Domain Source window:
a. Select Generate a domain configured automatically to support the following BEA
products.
Note that the WebLogic Server check box is selected by default since it is a
prerequisite for all WebLogic domains.
b. Click Next.
4. In the Configure Administrator Username and Password window, enter a valid
username and password,
and click Next.
This username is used to boot the Administration
Server and connect to it.
5. In the Configure Server Start Mode and JDK window, specify whether to start the server
in development mode or production mode, and select which JDK to use.
Click Next.
6. In the Customize Environment and Services Settings window, indicate whether you want
to change the distribution of your domain across servers, clusters, and machines, and to
modify existing JDBC and JMS file store services. To add Managed Servers and clusters to
your domain, or change JDBC and JMS settings,
select Yes
and click Next.
The Configuration Wizard steps you through the process. To accept the default settings, leave
No selected
and click Next.
In this example, we are not customizing the domain. Leave No selected and click Next.
7. In the Create WebLogic Domain window, enter a name for the domain and specify a
location for the domain directory.
For example, since we are going to extend this domain in the next example using the
WebLogic Portal extension template, name the domain my_default_domain.
By default, the domain is created in BEA_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain, where
BEA_HOME is the directory that contains the product installation, and domain is the domain
name that you specify (my_default_domain in this example). Click Create.
8. In the Creating Domain window, once the domain has been created, do one of the
following:
– If you are creating the domain on a Windows system and you want to start the server
immediately, select the Start Admin Server check box and click Done.
– Click Done.
