B Starting and Stopping the Oracle Stack

You must start and stop the components of the Oracle stack in a specific order. This appendix describes that order and contains the following topics:

Starting the Stack
Stopping the Stack

Note:

When executing the scripts to start and stop WebLogic managed components (respectively, startManagedWebLogic.sh and stopManagedWebLogic.sh), as described in the following topics:

The default value for DOMAIN_NAME is IDMDomain
SERVER_NAME represents the name of the Oracle WebLogic Managed Server. Its default value is wls_ods1.
You will be prompted for values for USER_NAME and PASSWORD if you do not provide them as options when you execute the script.
The value for ADMIN_URL will be inherited if you do not provide it as an option when you execute the script.

B.1 Starting the Stack

Start the stack components in the following order:

Start the Oracle WebLogic Administration Server by executing the following command:
```
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/DOMAIN_NAME/bin/startWebLogic.sh
```
Note:
When you start the Oracle WebLogic Administration Server from the command line, it runs in the foreground and prints output to the screen.
Ensure the Node Manager is running. Normally, the Oracle WebLogic Administration Server starts the Node Manager. If the Node Manager is not running, start it by executing the following command:
```
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/DOMAIN_NAME/bin/startNodeManager.sh 
```
Start system components, such as Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Virtual Directory, by executing the following command:
```
ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl startall
```
You can verify that the system components have started by executing the following command:
```
ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl status -l
```
Start WebLogic managed components, such as Oracle Directory Services Manager, by executing the following command:
```
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/DOMAIN_NAME/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh \
SERVER_NAME {ADMIN_URL}
```
Note:
You can use the Oracle WebLogic Administration Console to start managed components in the background. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Introduction to Oracle WebLogic Server for more information.

B.2 Stopping the Stack

You can stop the Oracle WebLogic Administration Server and all the managed servers by using Oracle WebLogic Administration Console. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Introduction to Oracle WebLogic Server for more information.

To stop the stack components from the command line, perform the following steps:

Stop WebLogic managed components, such as Oracle Directory Services Manager, by executing the following command:

MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/DOMAIN_NAME/bin/stopManagedWebLogic.sh \
{SERVER_NAME} {ADMIN_URL} {USER_NAME} {PASSWORD}

Stop system components, such as Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Virtual Directory, by executing the following command:
```
ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl stopall 
```
Stop the Oracle WebLogic Administration Server by executing the following command:
```
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/DOMAIN_NAME/bin/stopWebLogic.sh
```
If you want to stop the Node Manager, you can use the kill command:
```
kill -9 pid
```
