Create Managed Server using WLST

This post is intended for those who just started working on WLST for configuration of WebLogic domain. Here I have a sample WLST script that creates a Managed server. You have two choices to configure managed server: offline and online mode. Here we have online configuration script. Here the first trail with the direct connection parameter passing. I have tried it on my Oracle VirtualBox running WebLogic 12.1.2. I know this is bad coding style that is using hardcoding the values in the script.

Better you might try with properties file that can be updated frequently for your domains.

def createMS(name, listenadr, port):
        connect('weblogic', 'welcome1', 't3://192.168.1.106:9100')
        edit()
        startEdit()
        cd('/')
        cmo.createServer(name)
        cd('/Servers/' + name)
        cmo.setListenAddress(listenadr)
        cmo.setListenPort(port)
        activate()

#=========MAIN PROGRAM =========================
name=raw_input('Please enter managed server:')
listenip=raw_input('please enter listenip:')
port=int(input('please enter port:'))
createMS(name, listenip, port)

Script best practices says all the domain parameters must be generic and develop using propertice file.
try it yourself :)

The output of the above script
