startWebLogic Command

Starts WebLogic Server in a specific domain.

# Syntax

    startWebLogic [nodebug] [nolog] [nopointbase] [production]

# Parameters

nodebug

Optional. Specifies that WebLogic Server should not be run in debug mode. Running without debug mode increases performance slightly but disables debugging of web services from the WebLogic Workshop visual development environment. Default: debug is enabled.

nolog

Optional. Disables logging, which my increase performance depending on logging configuration. Default: logging is enabled.

nopointbase

Optional. Specifies that the Pointbase database should not be started with WebLogic Server. By default, startWebLogic starts the Pointbase database. You may wish to use nopointbase if the Pointbase database is already running, or if you have reconfigured WebLogic Workshop to use a different database.

production

Optional. Specifies that both WebLogic Workshop and WebLogic Server should be run in production mode. Default: development mode.

WebLogic Workshop Modes

WebLogic Workshop can be run in development mode or production mode. This mode is controlled by the weblogic.jws.ProductionMode Java property. When WebLogic Workshop is in production mode, only web services that are packaged into a deployed EAR file may be accessed by clients. Web services that are in exploded form in the project tree are not accessible. In development mode, the opposite is true: web services in exploded form are accessible and web services in deployed EAR files are not. In addition, in production mode the web page for each web service is limited to just the Overview pane; the Console, Test Form and Test XML panes are not available.

WebLogic Server Modes

WebLogic Server may also be run in either development mode or production mode. This mode is controlled by the weblogic.ProductionModeEnabled Java property. In development mode, WebLogic Server's application poller is active, meaning WebLogic Server will automatically discover new applications (new WebLogic Workshop projects) that are created and populated. In production mode, the application poller is disabled.

# Remarks

startWebLogic starts WebLogic Server in the domain from which it is run. A typical WebLogic Server installation may contain many configured domains. Each domain's configuration is controlled by the config.xml file. A good rule of thumb is that startWebLogic should be run from the directory containing the config.xml file for the domain whose server you wish to run.
