Advanced Oracle Weblogic start/stop script

The Oracle WebLogic 11g application server product line is the industry’s most comprehensive #Java platform for developing, deploying, and integrating enterprise applications. It provides the foundation for application grid, which is an architecture that enables enterprises to outperform their competitors while minimizing operational costs.

Some notes

This script may look unsecure (and it is)

Since password are store inside (admin server login: admin and password is admin), by doing so I can restart Oracle Weblogic in a cron job since stopping wont query the console for the login and password: feel free to remove these lines in blue

I always recommend to install web process in its own user group and use a dedicated user to mitigate any securities issues:

# groupadd weblogic
# useradd -g weblogic-c weblogicuser for weblogic’ -m weblogic
# su – weblogic

Install then weblogic in /home/weblogic

Respect the order of component for starting

1. Start Weblogic Node Manager,
2. Start WebLogic Admin server,
3. Start all Managed Server in any order.

and stopping components

1. Stop the Node Manager
2. Stop all Managed WebLogic server
3. Stop WebLogic

Names of the managed server

 managed server names are in the script so add remove start and stop command for them

Logs files of start and stop operations

are written in 2 files, that use timestamp, see WLS_LOG_START and WLS_LOG_STOP

/etc/init.d/weblogic file

Create a new file as root in /etc/init.d/weblogic

# vi /etc/init.d/weblogic

and paste inside the following

#!/bin/sh
# description: webLogic adminServer and managedServer start script
#
