7.6 Stopping and restarting WebLogic

After you make all your configuration changes, restart WebLogic for the changes to take effect. The WebLogic Managed Server, Node Manager and the WebLogic Administration Server also need to be restarted.

You must start the WebLogic Administration Server using 64-bit Java. Before starting the Weblogic Administration server using startWeblogic.sh script, ensure that JAVA_OPTIONS=-D64 is set in the environment.

    7.6.1 Stop WebLogic Managed Server

    1. In the WebLogic Server Administration Console, under Domain Structure, click the domain name.

    2. Click the Control tab and select the check box beside the server you want to stop.

    3. Click Shutdown and select one of these options:

      When work completes: Initiates a graceful shutdown of the selected server, causing the Managed Server to notify its subsystems to complete all in-work requests. A graceful shutdown gives the WebLogic Server subsystems time to complete certain application processing that is currently in progress.

      Force Shutdown Now: Initiates a forced shutdown, which causes the Managed Server to instruct subsystems to immediately drop in-work requests.

    4. At the WebLogic Server Administration Console prompt, click Yes to confirm the command.

    You can verify that the Managed Server has shut down by viewing the table at the bottom of the Control tab. The table displays a list of all the servers and indicates their current state.

    7.6.2 Stop WebLogic Administration Server

    1. From a command prompt, navigate to [appserverdomain]\bin.

    2. Type the following command:

      • (Windows) stopWebLogic.cmd

      • (Linux, UNIX) ./stopWebLogic.sh

    3. Enter the WebLogic user name and password (if you enabled security when installing WebLogic).

    7.6.3 Start WebLogic Administration Server

    1. From a command prompt, navigate to [appserverdomain].

    2. Type the following command:

      • (Windows) startWebLogic.cmd

      • (Linux, UNIX) ./startWebLogic.sh

    3. Enter the WebLogic user name and password (if you enabled security when installing WebLogic).

    7.6.4 Start WebLogic Node Manager

    • From a command prompt, navigate to the [appserver root]/server/bin directory and type the appropriate command:

      (Windows) startNodeManager.cmd

      (Linux, UNIX)./startNodeManager.sh

    7.6.5 Start WebLogic Managed Server

    2. Under Domain Structure, click Environment > Servers and, in the right pane, click the managed server.

    3. On the next screen, click the Control tab and select the check box beside the managed server you want to start.

    4. Click Start and then click Yes.
