Alternatively, you can access the Administration Console from Fusion Middleware Control, from the home pages of targets such as the Administration Server and
Managed Server.
2.3.2 Locking the WebLogic Server Configuration
Before you make configuration changes, lock the domain configuration, so you can make changes to the configuration while preventing other accounts from making
changes during your edit session.
To lock the domain configuration:
1.
Locate the Change Center in the upper left of the Administration Console screen.
2.
Click Lock Edit to lock the configuration edit hierarchy for the domain. As you make configuration changes using the Administration Console, you click Save
or in some cases Finish on the appropriate pages. This does not cause the changes to take effect immediately. The changes take effect when you click Activate Changes in
the Change Center. At that point, the configuration changes are distributed to each of the servers in the domain. If the changes are acceptable to each of the servers, then
they take effect. If any server cannot accept a change, then all of the changes are rolled back from all of the servers in the domain. The changes are left in a pending state; you
can then either edit the pending changes to resolve the problem or revert the pending changes.
