5-10 Managing Server Startup and Shutdown for Oracle WebLogic Server

5.4.1 Start

The Start command transitions a server instance from the SHUTDOWN state to the RUNNING state. Depending on the initial state of a server instance, the Start command causes these state transitions: SHUTDOWN STARTING STANDBY ADMIN RESUMING RUNNING The ServerMBean.StartupMode attribute lets you specify the state in which a server instance should be started. Its values are displayed and configurable in the Administration Console, using WLST, or when specified as a java weblogic.Server startup option. If you do not specify a startup mode value either on the command line, in the Administration Console, or in config.xml, the default is to start in the RUNNING state. For more information, see Specify a startup mode in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Help and Other Server Configuration Options in Command Reference for Oracle WebLogic Server.
