WebLogic Server Command Reference

## CONNECT

Connects to a WebLogic Server instance and returns two numbers representing the total time for each round trip and the average amount of time (in milliseconds) that each connection is maintained.

### Syntax

>     java [ SSL Arguments ] weblogic.Admin
>          [-url URL]
>          [ User Credentials Arguments ]
>        CONNECT [count]

Argument | Definition
--- | ---
-url [`protocol``://`]`listen-address:listen-port` | Specify the listen address and listen port of the server instance to which you want to connect. If you specify a secure listen port, you must also specify a secure protocol. If you do not specify a value, the command assumes `t3://localhost:7001`. For more information, refer to the -url entry in Table 1-3 on page 11 and Protocol Support.
`count` | Number of connections the `weblogic.Admin` utility makes to the specified server instance. By default, this command makes only one connection.

### Example

In the following example, the `weblogic.Admin` utility establishes 10 connections to a WebLogic Server instance whose listen address is ManagedHost and listen port is 8001:

>     java weblogic.Admin -url ManagedHost:8001 -username weblogic
>        -password weblogic CONNECT 10

For more information about the environment in which this example runs, refer to Example Environment.

If the command establishes the connections, it returns the following information:

>     Connection: 0 - 3,229 ms
>     Connection: 1 - 17 ms
>     Connection: 2 - 14 ms
>     Connection: 3 - 20 ms
>     Connection: 4 - 18 ms
>     Connection: 5 - 25 ms
>     Connection: 6 - 27 ms
>     Connection: 7 - 15 ms
>     Connection: 8 - 15 ms
>     Connection: 9 - 15 ms
>       RTT = ~3422 milliseconds, or ~342 milliseconds/connection

If the command does not establish a connection, it returns nothing.

In this example, the first connection required 3,229 milliseconds and the second connection required 17 milliseconds. The average time for all connections was 3422 milliseconds.
