Deploy Application war file on Weblogic Managed Server using python script

Here i will list out the steps to deploy application using python script.

I am using weblogic version 10.3.6 on OEL5.5 OS

Please download the shoppingcart.war here.

Step1:

Create python script deploy.py

Step2:

Run the setDomainEnv.sh

Step3: Deploy the Application war as below

Once we execute we will see the below output

[oracle@weblogic domains]$ java weblogic.WLST deploy.py

As i deployed the application on managed server and the managed server port is 7003.

Install Weblogic in Silent mode using silent.xml and creating default domain server in Console mode using config.sh

Hi all,

I am going to list out the steps to install weblogic in silent mode and managed server in console mode.

First install jrocket. I installed Jrocket using console mode. I used PUTTY for the installation of Jrocket and Weblogic

Utility to View Weblogic Logs

Hello Everyone.

In this post I will introduce you too a utility to view Weblogic Log Files. As we know in R12.2, MiddleTier is managed by  Weblogic, to view big log files it is not that easy to view in putty.

The Weblogic Log Viewer tool can be useful for traversing log files and aid in quickly finding error messages within large log files.

You can download this tool from here

This is a small and simple but very helpful tool I developed to visualize WLS logs.

The motivation to write it came with the need to filter WLS logs by columns: it really helps to analyze logs by filtering out what is not relevant and concentrating in what is related to your problem.

It is a WIP, and currently it can only parse WLS logs (not stdouts) that use line start tag as "####".

You can filter by any of the predefined 12 columns: Time Stamp, Severity, Subsystem, Machine, Server, Thread ID, User ID, Transaction ID, Diagnostic Context, Raw Time, Message ID and Message Text.

You can also re-order the columns and resize them. There's a button to conveniently copy the contents of the selected line (only the message) to the clipboard.

Give it a try and let me know what you think. Download the jar at the end of this post and start it with java -jar WLSLogViewerApp.jar.

Download WLS Log Viewer

Download the Tool and set the application environment.

How to Use this tool.

Choose the log file

Select and open the log file

Now click on TimeStamps….

You can see log based on time stamps

Hope this post helps you.
