To create a WebLogic Domain:

  1. Run the WebLogic Configuration Wizard.
  2. In the Welcome window:
    1. Select Create a new WebLogic domain.
    2. Click Next.
  3. In the Select Domain Source window, click Next to accept the default selections.
  4. In the Specify Domain Name and Location:
    1. Enter the domain name.
    2. Enter the domain location.
    3. Click Next.
  5. In the Configure Administrator User Name and Password window:
    1. Enter the user name and password information.
    2. Click Next.
  6. In the Configure Server Start Mode and JDK window:
    1. Select Production Mode in the left pane.
    2. Select an appropriate JDK in the right pane.
    3. Click Next.
  7. In the Select Optional Configuration window:
    1. Select the Administration Server and the Managed Servers, Clusters and Machines options.
    2. Click Next.
  8. (Optional) In the Configure the Administration Server window, select the SSL enabled option and set the SSL listen port if you are enabling Secure Sockets Layer communication.

    See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/secmanage/ssl.html for more details on setting SSL for WebLogic.

    Notes:

  9. In the Configure Managed Servers window:
    1. Click Add.
    2. Enter the Name and select the Listen address information.
    3. (Optional) Select the SSL enabled option and set the SSL listen port.

      Note: "" Oracle recommends you always use SSL in a production environment for secure communications.

    4. (Optional) Add or delete other managed servers.
    5. Click Next.
  10. (Optional) In the Configure Clusters window:

    Note: Do not add clusters if you are not using multiple WebLogic server instances for scalability.

    1. Click Add.
    2. (Required) Enter the name of the cluster.
    3. (Optional) Enter the following information: Cluster messaging mode, Multicast address, Multicast port, Cluster address.
    4. (Optional) Add or delete other configured clusters.
    5. Click Next.

      Note: For information on setting up clusters, use Oracle's WebLogic Server documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/cluster/setup.html.

  11. (Optional) In the Assign Servers to Clusters window, assign a server to a cluster.
  12. Click Next.

    Note: Select the Cluster in the right pane, then select the Server in the left pane. Assign the server to the cluster by clicking the right arrow button.

  13. In the Configure Machines window:
    1. Select the Machine or Unix Machine tab.
    2. If you select the Machine tab:
      1. Click Add.
      2. (Required) Enter a machine name.
      3. (Optional) Select the Node manager listen address from the list.

        Note: If you specify an address for a machine that hosts the Administration Server and you need to access the WebLogic Server Node Manager, you must disable the host name verification.

      4. (Optional) Enter the Node manager listen port.
      5. (Optional) Add or delete configured machines.
    3. If you select the Unix Machine tab:
      1. (Required) Enter a valid machine name.
      2. (Optional) Select the Post bind GID enabled option to enable a server running on this machine to bind to a UNIX group ID (GID) after it finishes all privileged startup actions.
      3. (Optional) Enter the Post bind GID where a server on this machine will run after it finishes all privileged startup actions. If you do not enter a GID, the server will continue to run under the group where it was started. For this setting to work, you must select the Post bind GID enabled option.
      4. (Optional) Select the Post bind UID enabled option to enable a server running on this machine to bind to a UNIX user ID (UID) after it finishes all privileged startup actions.
      5. (Optional) Enter Post bind UID where a server on this machine will run after it finishes all privileged startup actions. If you do not enter a UID, the server will continue to run under the account where it was started. For this setting to work, you must select the Post bind UID enabled option.
      6. (Optional) Add or delete configured machines.
    4. Click Next.

      Notes:

      • You might want to create machine definitions for the following situations: (1) The Administration Server uses the machine definition, with the Node Manager application, to start remote servers. (2) WebLogic Server uses configured machine names when determining the server in a cluster that can handle certain tasks, such as HTTP session replication. The WebLogic Server then delegates those tasks to the identified server.
      • You must configure machines for each product installation that runs a Node Manager process. The machine configuration must include values for the listen address and port number parameters.
  14. In the Assign Servers to Machines window:

    Note: A machine is a physical server that will host a WebLogic managed server. Depending on your resource needs and data load, the machines may be in the same physical server where the WebLogic Admin Server is installed or in separate physical servers.

    1. In the Machine list, select the machine where you want to assign a WebLogic Server instance.
    2. Assign WebLogic Server instances to the selected machine.

      The name of the WebLogic Server instance is removed from the Server list and added below the name of the target machine in the Machine list.

    3. Repeat steps a and b for each WebLogic Server instance you want to assign to a machine.
    4. Review the machine assignments.

      If necessary, you can remove a WebLogic Server instance from a machine, and the WebLogic Server instance will be removed from the Machine list and restored to the Server list.

    5. Click Next.
  15. In the Configuration Summary window, click Create.

    If given the option, you can click Done now. Otherwise, continue to the next step.

  16. If you are using Windows, in the Creating Domain window:
    1. Select Start Admin Server.
    2. Click Done.
  17. When prompted, enter the administrator user name and password that you entered above.
