WebLogic Deployment for Admin Console

Admin Console Deployment in WebLogic.

Admin Console Setup

  1. Create a directory on the WebLogic server to store various configuration files for OIPA (i.e., /opt/oracle/oipa/ or C:\oracle\adminconsole).

  2. Create subdirectories inside the directory from Step 1 called conf, libs, and war.

  3. Copy AdminConsole-weblogic.war file from the AdminConsole-weblogic-distribution.zip distribution zip file into the war subdirectory.
  4. Copy the following configuration files from AdminConsole distribution zip/conf directory into the conf directory:
    1. ac.properties

    2. ac-oipa-jmxconnection-content.xml

This ac-oipa-jmxconnection-content.xml file will have the ports to listen to Cycle/OIPA/Service Layer web servers. Based on the count of Cycle/OIPA/Service Layer web managed servers , those many nodes should be created. port of this node should match with port that given in the Cycle/OIPA/Service Layer web arguments.

  1. Create a directory to store database driver jar files for AdminConsole (i.e., /opt/oracle/db_drivers/ or C:\oracle\db_drivers).

  2. Copy the database drivers for your database into this directory.

    1. Oracle – The necessary driver, ojdbc17-23.6.0.24.10.jar, is included in the libs directory of the OIPA Media Pack.

      Note: 12.2.0.0 is also supported on Oracle 19c, which is LTS (Long Term Support) and Oracle 26ai. If Oracle 19c/Oracle 26ai is used, the corresponding supported ojdbc driver version shipped with Oracle database should be used in the step above.

    2. Microsoft SQL Server – download the mssql-jdbc.jar library version 12.10.1.jre11 from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.microsoft.sqlserver/mssql-jdbc/12.10.1.jre11

    3. IBM DB2 – The two necessary .jar files (db2jcc4 and db2jcc4_license_cu) are included with the purchase of the DB2 software. These files are not available for download. Contact your IT department if you need assistance locating these files.

  3. Use a text editor to open the ac.properties file that you just copied to the server. The ac.properties file contains properties for Oracle, and SQL Server and DB2 database types, with the Oracle settings active by default. The inactive settings are commented out with a '#' character at the start of each line. To change a setting, remove the '#' from the required property setting, and insert it at the beginning of the setting you want to de-activate.
