Oracle WebLogic Server 14c: Administration I — Lesson 1: Installing WebLogic and Creating a Managed Domain

Technical Scope

• Oracle Home, Java requirements, and inventory
• Domain Configuration Wizard and templates
• Administration Server and domain directories
• environment scripts, WLST awareness, and startup validation

Instructor Demonstration

Demonstrate Oracle Home, Java requirements, and inventory inside a WebLogic application platform built from an empty host and operated through deployment and server failures, then capture the exact configuration, command, transaction, report, or code evidence that proves the result.

Applied Workshop

Implement a controlled workshop covering Domain Configuration Wizard and templates and Administration Server and domain directories, then test a failure or exception involving environment scripts, WLST awareness, and startup validation.

1. Confirm environment, identity, data, dependencies, and expected result.
2. Complete the product-specific implementation or analysis.
3. Capture commands, configuration, output, logs, transactions, or reports.
4. Explain the operational, security, performance, or business trade-off.

Validation Standard

The Installing WebLogic and Creating a Managed Domain result must be reproducible, traceable to approved inputs, and consistent with the expected Oracle product behavior.

• The intended target and ownership are verified.
• The result is supported by reproducible evidence.
• Security, performance, reliability, and support impact are reviewed.
• Unexpected behavior is investigated before acceptance.

Failure Analysis

Diagnose issues in Oracle Home, Java requirements, and inventory, Domain Configuration Wizard and templates, Administration Server and domain directories, or environment scripts, WLST awareness, and startup validation without making an unverified production change.

Learners isolate the smallest proven cause, apply a reversible correction, rerun validation, and record the preventive action.
