Create a template that defines the full set of resources within a WebLogic domain, including infrastructure components, applications, services, security options, and general environment and operating system parameters.

You can use the template that you create as the basis for creating a WebLogic domain, by specifying the template in the Configuration Wizard, WLST, or the unpack command. Create a template that defines applications and services that can be used to extend existing WebLogic domains. You can import applications and services stored in extension templates into an existing WebLogic domain by using the Configuration Wizard.

Select Create a Domain Template and click Next. The Select a Template Domain Source screen lets you choose the domain or domain template from which you want to create a new domain template. To select an existing WebLogic domain as the source for the new template.

Navigate to the directory of the WebLogic domain from which you want to create a domain template. Valid domain directories are indicated by the Domain directory folder icon, shown here. To select a domain template as the source for the new template. From the list of templates displayed in the Templates pane, select a template.

The templates in the list are located in the directory specified in the Locate Additional Templates pane. If you want to change the directory, click Browse , and then either navigate to the appropriate directory or enter the path manually.

Use the Describe the Template screen to provide a description for the template. If you selected a WebLogic domain as the source for the new template, enter the information required for the domain, and click Next.

By default, the Domain Template Builder includes applications from the domain or template you specified as the source for the template that you are creating.

For example:. If you selected a template as the source for the new template, and if the source template has a separately defined applications directory, all the application files defined in the applications directory are included by default. If you selected a domain as the source for the new template, applications that fulfill the following conditions are included by default:.

Applications that are defined in the config. Applications that are not considered internal applications in your product installation are included by default. In the Applications pane, review the list of applications to be included in your template.

By default, all the applications are selected. The listed applications reside in the directory specified in the Current Application Path field. The applications are copied into your template from this location. To change the relative path of the directory into which an application is imported, do the following:. In the Imported Application Path field, enter the relative path you want to use after the application is imported into your template.

By default, the Domain Template Builder includes files from the WebLogic domain or template you specified as the source for the new template. If you selected an existing template as the source for the new template, all files from the source template are automatically included. If the existing template defines a separate applications directory, the applications in the template are listed under the Applications Root Directory in the Current Template View pane.

If you selected a domain as the source for your new template, the following files and directories are included by default:. All files in the root directory with the following extensions:. All files in the security directory that are not created automatically during domain creation.

All files and subdirectories in the config directory that are not included by the Domain Template Builder automatically during template creation. For example, config. You may also need to include other files from your domain or file system that are required by the applications.

The Add Files screen lets you to review, add, or remove files in the template. You can use the filters in the Show File Types drop-down list to limit the files displayed in this pane. For example, to display only files with the. If you attempt to add a file that is created automatically by the Configuration Wizard at domain creation time, an error message is displayed. You can add your own SQL scripts to the new template, so that the scripts are available when you create a WebLogic domain based on the template.

You can also specify the order in which the scripts are executed. When you create a WebLogic domain based on this template, the databases and associated SQL scripts that you include are displayed on the Run Database Scripts screen of the Configuration Wizard.

In the Database Type and Version pane, select a database from the Type drop-down list. Select the database version from the Version drop-down list or enter a version number directly in the field.

To modify the configuration, click Previous to return to the appropriate screen for the settings you want to change. Configuration Progress. Configuration Success.

Note: As a performance optimization, WebLogic Server does not store most of its default values in the domain's configuration files.

In some cases, this optimization prevents entire management objects from being displayed by WLST offline because WebLogic Server has never written the corresponding XML elements to the domain's configuration files. For example, if you never modify the default logging severity level for a WebLogic domain while the domain is active, WLST offline will not display the domain's Log management object. For more information, see this section in WLST Command Reference for WebLogic Server Navigate the hierarchy of management objects cd path "cd" List child attributes or management objects for the current management object ls [ ' a ' ' c ' ] "ls" Toggle the display of the management object navigation path information at the prompt prompt [ ' off ' ' on ' ] "prompt" Display the current location in the configuration hierarchy pwd "pwd" Display all variables used by WLST dumpVariables "dumpVariables" Display the stack trace from the last exception that occurred while performing a WLST action dumpStack "dumpStack".
