1.4.4 Oracle Weblogic Scripting Tool WLST

The Oracle Weblogic Scripting Tool WLST is a command-line scripting environment for advanced administrator use, which enables you to programmatically administer Oracle Business Intelligence. The WLST scripting environment is based on the Java scripting interpreter Jython. You can use this tool interactively on the command line, in batch scripts that are supplied in a file Script Mode, where scripts invoke a sequence of WLST commands without requiring your input, or embedded in Java code. You can extend the WebLogic scripting language by following the Jython language syntax.
