7 Starting and Stopping Servers

Most Oracle Identity Manager feature configurations, such as password policy create and update, need the restart of the server for the changes to take effect. This chapter provide procedures to start/stop Oracle WebLogic Servers.

You can perform all start and stop operations for managed WebLogic Servers either from command prompt or from Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console or Enterprise Manager control.The following sections are given only for reference purpose. See Oracle WebLogic Server Administrator Guide for detailed information.

Note:

Node Manager must be running in order to use the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console or Enterprise Manager Control for controlling (start/stop) Oracle Identity Manager WebLogic managed servers and SOA WebLogic managed servers.

Configuring the Node Manager
Starting the Node Manager
Starting or Stopping WebLogic Administration Server
Starting or Stopping WebLogic Managed Servers

You can perform all start and stop operations either from command prompt or from Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

Note:

Node Manager must be running before you can start and stop administration server, managed server, SOA server, and BPEL server through Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

7.1 Configuring the Node Manager

After installing and configuring Oracle Identity Manager and SOA servers, you must configure node manager for using it with WebLogic Administration Console or Enterprise Manager control. This configuration is to be done only once.

To configure node manager, you must set StartScriptEnabled=true in the nodemanager.properties file. To do so, run following script:

For UNIX:

MIDDLEWARE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/setNMProps.sh

For Microsoft Windows:

MIDDLEWARE_HOME\oracle_common\common\bin\setNMProps.cmd

7.2 Starting the Node Manager

To start the Node Manager:

Navigate to WL_HOME/server/bin.
At the command prompt, enter:

./startNodeManager

7.3 Starting or Stopping WebLogic Administration Server

To start or stop the WebLogic Administration Server:

Navigate to DOMAIN_HOME/bin.
Note:
- For Linux Install you have only "./startWebLogic.sh" and you do not have "startWebLogic.cmd" in the bin folder.
- For Microsoft Windows Install we have both "./startWebLogic.sh" and "startWebLogic.cmd" in the bin folder.
To start the server, enter the following:

For UNIX:

./startWebLogic.sh

For Microsoft Windows:

startWebLogic.cmd

To stop the server, enter the following:

For UNIX:

./stopWebLogic.sh

For Microsoft Windows:

stopWebLogic.cmd

7.4 Starting or Stopping WebLogic Managed Servers

This section contains the following topics:

Starting or Stopping the Managed Servers By Using Command Prompt
Starting or Stopping the Managed Server Using Oracle Enterprise Manager Console
Starting or Stopping Servers By Using Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console

7.4.1 Starting or Stopping the Managed Servers By Using Command Prompt

To start or stop the managed servers using command prompt:

Navigate to the DOMAIN_HOME/bin/ directory.
To start the server, enter the following at the command prompt:

For UNIX:

./startManagedWebLogic.sh MANAGED_SERVER_NAME ADMIN_SERVER_URL

For example:

startManagedWebLogic.sh oim_server1 http://mywlsadminhost.mycompany.com:7001

startManagedWebLogic.sh soa_server1 http://mywlsadminhost.mycompany.com:7001

For Microsoft Windows:

startManagedWebLogic.cmd MANAGED_SERVER_NAME ADMIN_SERVER_URL

To stop the server, enter the following at the command prompt:

For UNIX:

./stopManagedWebLogic.sh MANAGED_SERVER_NAME ADMIN_SERVER_URL

For Microsoft Windows:

stopManagedWebLogic.cmd MANAGED_SERVER_NAME ADMIN_SERVER_URL

For example:

stopManagedWebLogic.cmd oim_server1 http://mywlsadminhost.mycompany.com:7001

stopManagedWebLogic.cmd soa_server1 http://mywlsadminhost.mycompany.com:7001

7.4.2 Starting or Stopping the Managed Server Using Oracle Enterprise Manager Console

In order to use the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console to control managed servers, Node Manager must be running on the computer.

To start or stop the managed server using Oracle Enterprise Manager Console:

Log in to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console.
Navigate to Weblogic Domain, Domain Name, SERVER_NAME.
Right click, and navigate to Control.
Click Start Up to start the server.

Click Shutdown to stop the server.

7.4.3 Starting or Stopping Servers By Using Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console

To start or stop servers by using Oracle WebLogic Administration Console:

Log in to the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.
On the left pane, under Domain Structure, select Environment, Servers.
On the right pane, under Summary of Servers, click the Control tab.
Select the server name.
Click Start to start the server.

Click Shutdown to shutdown the server.
