Running Weblogic Admin Server as a Windows Service

The WebLogic Admin server can be a useful tool in the EPM environment. However, it does not come installed as a Windows service and consequently is not always running. In order to tap into the powerful features in Enterprise Manager or WebLogic admin server you first need to get it up and running as a Windows Service.

The following is a quick script that can help. Create a Windows .bat file called installWLService.bat
Change USERDOMAIN_HOME and WL_HOME to reflect your environment.

SETLOCAL

set DOMAIN_NAME=EPMSystem

set USERDOMAIN_HOME=D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem

set SERVER_NAME=AdminServer

set WL_HOME=D:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3

set PRODUCTION_MODE=true

set MEM_ARGS=-Xms512m –Xmx512m

call "%WL_HOME%\server\bin\installSvc.cmd"

ENDLOCAL

This should install a new Windows service:

beasvc EPMSystem_AdminServer
