How to set and Start Coherence with WLST

Oracle Weblogic Server - Version 10.3.4 to 12.1.1.0
Oracle Coherence - Version 3.6.0 to 3.7.1.x

Different ways to start Coherence Servers using WLST?

Pre-requirements:

Node Manager should be running and please make sure that you have the following jar files on your classpath;

/home/Oracle/Middleware/121cJar/modules/features/weblogic.server.modules.coherence.server_12.1.1.0.jar:/home/Oracle/Middleware/121cJar/coherence-java-3.7.1.0b27797/coherence/lib/coherence.jar

Use the following links to create and set the Coherence Servers using the Admin Console:

Ans1: Using the nmStart():

1. Start the WLST tool by setting the environmnet from Domain/bin directory:

$. bin/setDomainEnv.sh (cmd if Windows)
$java weblogic.WLST

2. Connect With the NM;

wls:/offline> nmConnect("weblogic","Welcome1","localhost","5556","12cjar","/home/Oracle/Domains/12cjar")

3. Start the Coherence server in which is named here as Server-0;

wls:/nm/12cjar> nmStart("Server-0",serverType="Coherence")

4. The Coherence server should be started:

Starting server Server-0 ...
Successfully started server Server-0 ...



Ans2: Now let use the CoherenceServerLifeCycleRuntimeMBean to start:

1. Set the domain environment from your WLS domain and run the following:

$java weblogic.WLST

2. Connect with your running AdminServer.

connect()

3. goto your domain Runtime.

domainRuntime()

4. goto your Coherence MBeam home.

cd("CoherenceServerLifeCycleRuntimes/Server-0")

5. and run the server using this command:

cmo.start()

The Server should be running by now....



Ans3: Goto the link bellow and you should see the startCoh.py and stopCoh.py, then is the matter of using the following command:

1. Create the files stopCoh.py and startCoh.py;

2. Goto bin directory of your domain.

3. Set your domian environments: $ . setDomainEnv.sh

4. Go back to the directory in which you created the two py files.

5. and run for example:

$java weblogic.WLST startCoh.py

Ans4: The Most common way is to use the Console, for that you can use Oracle's documentation:
