JDBC drivers are used to connect a WebLogic Server environment to an external
database.
If this component is not installed, the WebLogic JDBC drivers will not be available for
use.

13. 7. Third-Party JDBC Drivers:
WebLogic Server works with third-party JDBC drivers that offer the following functionality:
a. These are thread-safe
b. Can implement transactions using standard JDBC statements
8. WebLogic Server Clients:
Thin-client JARs required for connecting to a WebLogic Server instance. Includes the JARs for the Web
Services, JMS, Store and Forward, WebLogic RMI, JMS .NET, and JMX clients.
If you do not install this component, there is no effect on the server run time or deployed applications.
However, if you have a thin client and need to distribute a smaller set of JARs, instead of all WebLogic
JARs, you need to choose this installation option.

14. 9. Xquery Support
The WebLogic XQuery implementation JARs. Select this installation option if you are
using WebLogic XQuery libraries within your applications.
10. Server Examples:
Example applications that demonstrate key features of WebLogic Server. Selecting this component also
causes an evaluation database to be installed.
Note: Server Examples are not installed as part of the typical installation. You must select Custom
installation in order to install the Server Examples on your system.
Note: If you select this option, you cannot deselect the Evaluation Database option. The Derby
evaluation database is required by the server examples.

15. 11. Evaluation Database:
Installs the Derby evaluation database, which is used by the Server Examples, into the
WL_HOME/common/derby directory. We can install the evaluation database without installing the
Server Examples. The evaluation database is installed by default in a Typical installation
Oracle Coherence:
a. Coherence Product Files
b. Coherence Examples

16. a. Coherence Product Files:Coherence provides replicated and distributed
(partitioned) data management and caching services on top of a reliable,
highly scalable peer-to-peer clustering protocol. Coherence has no single
points of failure.
b. Coherence Examples: Examples that demonstrate how to use the features of
Coherence in all supported languages (Java, .NET, and C++).

17. II.
Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse:
It is a certified set of Eclipse plug-ins that is designed to help develop, deploy and debug applications for
Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Database.
Common files
JDKs
Jdk160_29:
JDK is a java development Kit. It is used to development application purpose and it includes
execution environment

19. After installation, the QuickStart application is launched automatically by default.
Quick Start is used to help first-time users evaluate, learn, and use WebLogic Server.
For example, the QuickStart application for WebLogic Server provides quick access to the following
tasks:

20. Getting started with WebLogic Server
Upgrading WebLogic domains to the current version
Accessing documentation online
Domain Creation Through QuickStart:
Through Quick start we can create a Domain.

21. When I selected the option: “Getting started with Weblogic Server 12.1.1”
It shows the below window for creating domain.
Welcome window shows 2 options.
1. Create a new WebLogic domain.
2. Extend an existing Weblogic domain
Here selected the option for” Create a new WebLogic domain”

22. Here it shows the Domain source
Here we can mention the Weblogic Domain name and location .we can change domain location also.
Default name for Domain is:base_domain.
We must give domain name.

23. We must give the location for Domain.
Here I have mention domain name as weblogic_domain
Domain_Name: we can use alphanumeric characters for Domain name, hyphen (-) and underscore
(_)characters. The maximum length of “Domain name” is 100 characters. Do not use spaces in between
the “domain name” it will not accept.

24. Here we can find default Administration user name is weblogic
And we have to give password and confirm the password.
Here I have given password and confirm the password .It showing error about the password.
The password does not match here.
Note: The confirm password should match the entered password.

25. Here it showing error: The given pass word must be at least 8 alphanumeric characters with at least one
number or any special character.
I have given pass word according to password properties.

26. This shows the Weblogic Domain startup Mode, modes are two types
1.Development Mode
2. Production Mode
Here I selected the mode for domain is Development Mode
The available JDK for development is sun JDk.

27. Here we can select the options to configure Administration Server, Managed sevrers, clusters, Machines
and RDBMS security Store.
Here I selected the option to configure Admin server.

28. The default name for Admin server is “AdminServer”
Default Listen Address is “All Local Addresses”
Default Listen port is “7001”
7001 is the default listen port. We can change it as per
our requirement with in the range of (1 to 65535)
Here Listen port and SSL listen port are same. It does not accept the same port.
In weblogic names and port should be unique. (Should not match each other)

29. Default Oracle WebLogic Server SSL Listen Port for Administration Server 7002
As our requirement we can change it with in the range of (7002-9000)
Here I disabled the SSL listen port.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) provides secure connections by allowing two applications connecting over a
network to authenticate each other's identity and by encrypting the data exchanged between the
applications.

30. Here it shows the domain path: i.e. D:Oracleweblogicuser_projectsdomains
Domain name is: WebLogic_domain
This process shows the domain creation in progress.

31. Domain creation is completed.
If we want start Admin server from here we can select the option:”Start Admin Server”
Domain Creation through Configuration Wizard:
Domain Creation:

32. Middleware Home directory in Oracle.
Before Domain installation…
After Domain installation…User_projects added.

33. Middleware Home Directory
By default, Weblogic 12c choose C:OracleMiddleware directory for installation on Windows.
OracleMiddleware Directory
Functions of the Home Directory
The directories in the Middleware home directory vary depending on the installer that you are using and
the products you selected for installation.
For example, the WebLogic Server installer creates the directories and files listed in the following table if
you have selected all the components for installation.
