Setting the Java Start-up Option for the Oracle WebLogic Application Server

For the Oracle WebLogic Server for SAS^® 9.3, you can set the Java start-up option by editing a start script or by using the WebLogic Application Server Administration Console. Use the same method that you used to set other server options. The steps for each method are explained below.

Note: If you are not running the WebLogic Server Node Manager, then you must specify the Java start-up options in a start script.

Set the Java Start-up Option in a Start Script

1. Change directories to your WebLogic Server domain directory that is configured for SAS^® 9.3. For a domain that is configured by the SAS^® Deployment Wizard, this directory is SAS-configuration-directory/Levn/Web/SASDomain/bin.
2. Make a backup copy of the setDomainEnv file.
3. Open setDomainEnv in an editor. This script has a suffix of either .sh or .cmd.
4. Locate the USER_MEM_ARGS variable for SASServer4.
5. Add the Java start-up option mentioned above to the USER_MEM_ARGS variable.
6. Save your changes, and close the file.
7. Restart the server so that the new settings are used.

Set the Java Start-up Option Using the WebLogic Application Server Administration Console

1. In the Domain Structure panel, expand the Servers node.
2. Click the name of the server that you want to configure.
3. In the right panel, click Server Start.
4. Select Lock and Edit.
5. In the Arguments text box, add the Java start-up option, and click Save. Then click Activate Changes.
6. Restart the server so that the new settings are used.

2. Click Application Servers.
3. Click the name of the server that you want to configure.
