# startWebLogic Command

Starts WebLogic Server in a specific domain. Each domain typically has its own dedicated start up script. For example scripts see the sample domains: [BEA_HOME]\weblogic81\samples\domains\workshop\startWebLogic.cmd, [BEA_HOME]\weblogic81\samples\domains\portal\startWebLogic.cmd, etc. Upon creation of a new domain, startup scripts are provided in the domain directory.

## Syntax

startWebLogic [noiterativedev] [notestconsole] [production]

## Parameters

noiterativedev

Optional. When this flag is present, WebLogic Workshop's iterative development mode is turned off. Default: iterative development mode is turned on.

notestconsole

Optional. When this flag is present, the WebLogic Workshop test harness is not available. Also, logging is disabled, which may increase performance depending on logging configuration. Default: the test harness and logging are enabled.

production

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

WebLogic Workshop Modes

WebLogic Workshop can be run with iterative development mode set to on or off. When iterative development mode is off, only applications that are packaged into a deployed EAR file may be accessed by clients. Applications that are in exploded form in the Application pane are not accessible. When iterative development mode is on, the opposite is true: applications in exploded form are accessible and applications in deployed EAR files are not. In addition, when iterative development mode is off 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 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.

Note: You can read more about starting WebLogic Server in the topic Starting and Stopping Servers: Quick Reference in the WebLogic Server 8.1 documentation.

## Remarks

The startWebLogic command starts WebLogic Server in a specific domain. A typical WebLogic Server installation may contain many configured domains. Each domain's configuration is controlled by the config.xml file. startWebLogic should be run from the directory containing the config.xml file for the domain whose server you wish to run.
