Only Username Expected in Production Mode of WebLogic ??

Hello Guys,

Sometime during experiments with WebLogic Server 9.x you might have seen the issue similar to the below while starting the Admin Server or Managed Servers.

It looks like we are missing the library "terminalio' which looks for the password from command line, so to get this working we have work around as to use -Dweblogic.management.allowPasswordEcho=true in startup scripts for the servers, which will take the clear text passwords instead of blanks as seen while you input the passwords as below.

Install / Uninstall WebLogic as Windows Service

Hello Guys,

In this post we discuss about Installing and Uninstalling WebLogic as Windows Service. Here its tried on WebLogic 10.3.3, Please let me know if you face any issues following this article.

Assume you have following properties set at Windows XP/Any Operating System.

WebLogic Home : C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3

Domain Home : C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\TestDomain

Server Name : AdminServer

Installing WebLogic as Windows Service

Create a batch file called : Service.bat with following contents.

echo off
SETLOCAL

set DOMAIN_NAME=TestDomain

set USERDOMAIN_HOME=C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\TestDomain
set SERVER_NAME=AdminServer

call "C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\installSvc.cmd"

ENDLOCAL

Note : If you would like to troubleshoot on this, please specify the -log parameter in the installSvc.cmd file as below. 


"%WL_HOME%\server\bin\beasvc" -install -svcname:"beasvc %DOMAIN_NAME%_%SERVER_NAME%" -javahome:"%JAVA_HOME%" -execdir:"%USERDOMAIN_HOME%" -log:"D:\WinService.log" -extrapath:"%EXTRAPATH%" -password:"%WLS_PW%" -cmdline:%CMDLINE%

by this if you see any issues while you setup or after you have setup the windows service, you will be able to troubleshoot over the same.

Note : Specify the variables values accordingly, and for managed server you need to use the script installSvc-Managed.cmd in place of installSvc.cmd

And Execute the file in command window or just a Double Click

It will install the WebLogic Server Windows Service With the Name : "TestDomain_AdminServer", however you change the name with the help of editing the script of installSvc.cmd / installSvc-Managed.cmd.

Uninstalling WebLogic as Windows Service :

In this Scenario we have to create the same script with little modifications as below :

echo off
SETLOCAL

set DOMAIN_NAME=TestDomain

set USERDOMAIN_HOME=C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\TestDomain
set SERVER_NAME=AdminServer

call "C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\uninstallSvc.cmd"

ENDLOCAL

Note : Same script here (uninstallSvc.cmd) goes for Uninstalling WebLogic Service for Admin Server as well as Managed Server.

Execute the script with a double click or in command shell, it will remove the service what you have specified with the name as "TestDomain_AdminServer"  or if you have any custom name, you can set it in uninstallSvc.cmd file.

Please let me know if you have any kind of difficulty in following this article.

Thanks
