Weblogic/WLST - Remote Control of a Domain

One of the most frustrating parts of my job is the administration of a Weblogic domain when it resides on a Linux machine. A numpty has decided that my team isn't allowed to have any permissions on Linux boxes and so we cant gain access to our Weblogic files - this means we cant stop and start our domains using startWeblogic.sh.

One solution I found was to Administer the domain via the Nodemanager.

To start, any server that you wish to administer via the Nodemanager has to be associated with a machine and a nodemanager needs to be running. Once done, start a WLST session.

 nmConnect('username','password','wl.host','nm.port','domain.name','domain.dir','socket.type')  

The command above will allow you to connect to the nodemanager.

 nmStart('server.name')  

Start the server.

 nmServerStatus('server.name')  

Get server status.

 nmKill('server.name')  

Force shutdown.

 nmDisconnect()  

Disconnect from the nodemanager.
