3.4 Getting Started Using Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console

Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console is a Web browser-based, graphical user interface that you use to manage an Oracle WebLogic Server domain. It is accessible from any supported Web browser with network access to the Administration Server. Use the Administration Console to: ■ Configure, start, and stop WebLogic Server instances ■ Configure WebLogic Server clusters ■ Configure WebLogic Server services, such as database connectivity JDBC and messaging JMS ■ Configure security parameters, including creating and managing users, groups, and roles ■ Configure and deploy Java EE applications ■ Monitor server and application performance ■ View server and domain log files ■ View application deployment descriptors ■ Edit selected run-time application deployment descriptor elements

3.4.1 Displaying the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console

To display the Administration Console: 1. Enter the following URL in a browser: http:hostname:port_numberconsole The port number is the port number of the Administration Server. By default, the port number is 7001. The login page is displayed. 2. Log in using the user name and password supplied during installation or another administrative user that you created. Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console is displayed as shown in the following figure: Getting Started Managing Oracle Fusion Middleware 3-15 Alternatively, you can access the Administration Console from Fusion Middleware Control, from the home pages of targets such as the Administration Server or Managed Servers.

3.4.2 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 to the previous configuration.
