Creating remote method invocation registry services for WebLogic Server

You can deploy a remote method invocation (RMI) registry file to create a registry that is independent of the product servers. A server that contains an RMI registry continues to run even if another server in the cluster fails. This registry starts on the server before any of the cluster members starts.

About this task

The install_home variable represents the installed location of the product folder. The WebLogic_install_home variable represents the installed location of WebLogic Server, which by default is \bea.

Procedure

  1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the WebLogic_install_home\user_projects\domains\domain_name directory.
  2. Run the startWebLogic.cmd file to start the WebLogic Server.
  3. Open the WebLogic Server administrative console. The default URL is http://servername:7001/console.
  4. In the navigation pane, browse to the domain_name > Servers folder.
  5. Click Configure New Server and in the Name field, specify RMIRegistry. Spaces are invalid characters.
  6. In the Listen Port field, specify 9999 and click Create.
  7. In the navigation pane, click Deployments > Web Application Modules > Deploy a New Web Application Module.
  8. Specify install_home/deployment/default as your archive directory.
  9. Select the rmireg.war file and use the default name, or specify a different name for the file.
  10. Click Finish to deploy the file.
  11. Click Save and close the console.

What to do next
