This is a step-by-step guide on installing the WebLogic Server, starting the admin server, and accessing the admin console. We will need this later for our ATG Installation & Configuration step-by-step guide.

the installation process
 Respond to all the Wizard
prompts

4. WebLogic Installation – Step 2

 Unchecking will ask for
your confirmation
“Yes/No”
 Hit Next to continue with
the installation process

6. WebLogic Installation – Step 4
 Decide between the
TYPICAL or CUSTOM
installation option

7. WebLogic Installation – Step 4
 Decide between the
TYPICAL or CUSTOM
installation option
 Custom lets you choose
between various options
(as shown on next slide)
 I would rather go back
and continue with the
TYPICAL option for timebeing

8. WebLogic Custom Installation Options
 Check or Uncheck the
options on this screen
based on which options
you want to be installed
with WLS Installer using
CUSTOM option v/s the
TYPICAL installation option
 Hit Next to continue with
the installation process

9. WebLogic Installation – Step 5
 Provide the Middleware
HOME directory
 WebLogic Server Home
 Coherence Home
 Enterprise pack for Eclipse
Home

10. WebLogic Installation – Step 6
 You need to Choose the
Shortcut Location
 You can opt between
“All Users” vs. “Local
User”
 Hit Next by selecting “All
Users”

11. WebLogic Installation – Step 7
 Installation Summary
Review
 Hit Next to continue
with ATG commerce
installation

12. WebLogic Installation – Step 8
 Installation Begins
 Extracting & copying
necessary files

13. WebLogic Installation – Step 9
 Installation is now
Complete
 You have an option to
configure the “domain”
using the “Run quickstart”
option
 Recommendation is leave
“Run quickstart” checked
 Hit the Done button in
order to continue the
limitations

14. WebLogic Installation – Step 10
 This is the “Quickstart”
launch screen
 You can configure the
WebLogic domain by
clicking on the
“Getting start with
WebLogic Server
10.3.6”

15. WebLogic Installation – Step 11
 You can either create a
new “WebLogic Domain”
 OR extend an existing
WebLogic domain
 Since, we just installed
WLS and want to have a
separate domain – select
“Create a new WebLogic
Domain”
 Hit Next to continue with
the domain creation
process

16. WebLogic Installation – Step 12
 We will continue with the
default selection for this
option “Select Domain
Source”
 Generate a domain
configured
automatically to support
the following products:
 BASIC WebLogic Server
Domain 10.3.6
 Hit Next to continue with
the domain creation
process

17. WebLogic Installation – Step 13
 If you have a preference for
a custom “domain name”
provide one
 OR continue with the
“base_domain” as the
domain name for the
configuration wizard
 It will also create a folder
called “base_domain” in
the domain location C:OracleMiddlewareuse
r_projectsdomains
 Hit Next to continue the
domain creation process

18. WebLogic Installation – Step 14
 This is an important step
where you would define
the WebLogic Domain
access details
 UserName & Password
 We will leave the
username as “weblogic”
 You can configure the
password that you can
remember 
 Keep it Safe
 Hit Next to continue the
domain creation process
Note 1: The password must be minimum 8 characters for WebLogic Domain
Note 2: ATG Installation & Configuration will ask for lot more username/passwords – be ready to document these for future reference

19. WebLogic Installation – Step 15
 This is going to be our
Development instance
and hence no reason to
select production mode
 Continue with the default
“Development Mode”
 I didn’t update my JDK to
1.7 hence shows 1.6
 You can alternatively
install JDK 1.7 prior to WLS
installation to configure it
to use JDK 1.7
 Hit Next to continue with
the domain creation
process

20. WebLogic Installation – Step 16
 Optional Step
 No changes needed
 Hit Next to continue with
the domain creation
process

21. WebLogic Installation – Step 17
 This screen tells you all the
choices you have made
to configure the
WebLogic Domain
 Configuration Summary is
outlined here
 Hit Create to create the
new WebLogic Domain

22. WebLogic Installation – Step 18
 Domain creation work-inprogress

23. WebLogic Installation - COMPLETE
 With this screen the
WebLogic Installation is
now COMPLETE
 You can either start the
Admin server by
CHECKING the option
“Start Admin Server”
 OR you can start it later
manually by locating the
Batch file or a Shell Script
 I’ll select “Start Admin
Server” to launch the
admin server and demo
you the WLS Console

24. WebLogic Admin Server – Start
 Once you launch the
“Admin Server”
 Wait until you see the
message “Running”
 Basically WLS will
switch between
several status
indicating the
progress e.g. Start 
Running

25. WebLogic Server – Admin Console
 http://localhost:7001/console - Launch the Admin console using this URL in
your favorite browser
 It will need few moments to deploy the application for / console – for 1st
access
 Once ready, it will seek for the admin username & password as defined
during the domain configuration process

26. WebLogic Admin Console - Access
 Once the WLS is 1st
access deployment
ready
 It will seek for the
username and
password for you to
access the admin
console
 Remember the
username “weblogic”
 Password “sorry you
have yours, I have
mine”

27. WebLogic Admin Console
 This would be your
Admin Console &
can check for the
Status of the server
and a lot more that
you can do with
WebLogic Instance
