Create a WebLogic domain in development mode with a vertical cluster of two managed servers on one machine, configuring the admin server and node manager via the installation wizard.
Start the admin server and node manager, then use the admin console or bin scripts to start and stop managed servers, with boot.properties handling in production.
Create a WebLogic server 14.1.2 domain using the configuration wizard, set domain location, admin credentials, and production mode with SSL, and tailor admin server, node manager, and clusters.
Discover how WebLogic 14.1.2 replaces the admin console with the remote console tool, enabling centralized management of multiple domains and flexible installation options.
Explore how the remote console replaces the admin console to edit configurations, deploy resources, and monitor servers via the edit tree, configuration view tree, monitoring tree, and security data tree.
Learn to build a two-node horizontal cluster in production mode with WebLogic, deploying domain across two machines, packing and unpacking the domain, and configuring node managers, boot.properties, and managed servers.
Deploy, redeploy, and undeploy the shopping cart dot war on a two-node WebLogic cluster through the admin console. Start, test, and monitor deployment; activate changes across nodes.
Demonstrate side-by-side deployment, enabling production redeployment of versions v1 and v2 without downtime, as old sessions finish on v1 while new requests route to v2.
Deploy an application in WebLogic 14.2 via the remote console by creating a new deployment in the edit tree, configuring target, upload, mode, and auto-start.
Discover how deployment plans externalize environment-specific parameters, override code configurations, and enable redeploying across production, development, and testing by using a plan.xml to change the app context to /air.
