The generic installer includes all Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Coherence software, including examples, and supports development and production usage on all supported platforms except for ARM OCI compute and AIX and zLinux on JDK 11. The generic installers for ARM OCI compute and AIX and zLinux on JDK 11 should be used for these respective platforms. The quick installer is intended for development purposes. It includes all Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Coherence runtime software but excludes examples and localized WebLogic console help files. The slim installer is for development and production usage of Docker or CRI-O images and containers in Kubernetes, when WebLogic console monitoring and configuration is not required. It includes all Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Coherence server runtime software, but excludes examples, the WebLogic console, WebLogic clients, Maven plug-ins and Java DB. See our 14.1.1.0 documentation here. For instructions on using the Generic installer, see this document. For instructions on using the Generic installers for ARM OCI compute and AIX and zLinux on JDK 11, see this document.
(Note: Licensed customers should obtain their Oracle WebLogic Server 14c software (here).

I've got a Weblogic server environment setup that all works fine on my server - I've set up a Windows firewall inbound rule to expose ports 7001 & 7002, but all attempts to access the server (e.g. using curl commands) are still blocked by the firewall. When the firewall is disabled, everything (curl, Webserver console etc) works fine, so it looks like something else in my firewall that I need to configure but I can't figure out what else I need to do, any pointers? (Wireshark confirms correct ports are being specified in my calls)
For each server instance that you set up as a Windows service, WebLogic Server creates a key in the Windows Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services. The registry entry contains such information as the name of the server and other startup arguments.
When you start the Windows host, the Microsoft Management Console uses the information in the Windows Registry key to invoke the weblogic.Server main class. The MMC cannot be configured to use Node Manager to start Managed Servers, therefore the Node Manager's monitoring and automatic restart features cannot be used for servers that run as a Windows service.
If you are installing a Managed Server as a Windows service, add a variable to the server specific script that specifies the location of the domain's Administration Server. For more information, refer to Configuring a Connection to the Administration Server.
If you want a server instance to shut down gracefully when you stop the Windows service, create a Java class and modify the master script so that the Microsoft Management Console will invoke the class. For more information, refer to Enabling Graceful Shutdowns.
If you want to see the messages that a server instance prints to standard out and standard error (including stack traces and thread dumps), redirect standard out and standard error to a file. For more information, refer to Redirecting Standard Out and Standard Error to a File.
The script that you create must set values for variables that identify the name of the server instance and other server-specific information. Then it must call a master script, WL_HOME\server\bin\installSvc.cmd, where WL_HOME is the directory in which you installed WebLogic Server. The master scripts invokes the wlsvc utility, which adds a key to the Windows Registry.
where username is the name of an existing user with privileges to start a server instance and password is the user's password. The wlsvc utility encrypts the login credentials and stores them in the Windows registry.
This is one of two possible methods for avoiding the user name/password prompt when a server instance starts. The disadvantage to this method is that changing the user name or password for the server instance requires you to delete the Windows service and set up a new one with the new user name and password. Instead of this method, you can use a boot identity file. With a boot identity file, you can change the login credentials without needing to modify the Windows service. For more information, see Boot Identity Files.
When the PRODUCTION_MODE variable is set to true, the server instance starts in production mode. When not specified, or when set to false, the server starts in development mode. For more information about development mode and production mode, see "Configure Server Start Mode" in Creating Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.
where java-options is one or more Java arguments that you want to pass to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Separate multiple arguments with a space. For a list of Java options that are specific to WebLogic Server, refer to "weblogic.Server Command-Line Reference" in the Command Reference for Oracle WebLogic Server. The JVM that you use supports additional options and are documented by the JVM vendor.
where JVM-mode is a text string that indicates the mode in which you want the JVM to run. The values that you supply depend on the JVM that you are using. For example, the Sun JDK can run a -hotspot, -client or -server JVM. If you use the Sun JDK 1.3.1, the default value is -hotspot. If you use the Sun JDK 1.4.1, the default value is -client. If you use the JRockit JVM, the default value is -jrockit. For more information, refer to "Starting and Configuring JRockit JVM" in the JRockit User Guide.
By default, if you use the Microsoft Management Console to stop a server instance, it kills the server's Java Virtual Machine (JVM). If you kill the JVM, the server immediately stops all processing. Any session data is lost. If you kill the JVM for an Administration Server while the server is writing to the config.xml file, you can corrupt the config.xml file.
The following Java class uses Java Management Extensions (JMX) to shut down a server instance. Each server uses JMX Managed Beans (MBeans) to expose its management attributes and operations. One such MBean, ServerRuntime, exposes a shutdown() method that gracefully shuts down a server.
The classpath is a declaration of the location of Java classes that a JVM can invoke. When you use the WebLogic Server master script to install a server instance as a Windows service, the master script specifies all classes required to run a server instance. If you want to extend WebLogic Server by adding your own Java classes, you must add them to the classpath.
By default, if you use the Microsoft Management Console to stop a server instance, it kills the server's Java Virtual Machine (JVM). If you kill the JVM, the server immediately stops all processing. Any session data is lost. If you kill the JVM for an Administration Server while the server is writing to the config.xml file, you can corrupt the config.xml file. For information on enabling graceful shutdowns, refer to Enabling Graceful Shutdowns.
To remove a Windows service that runs a WebLogic Server instance, you can use a script that causes the wlsvc utility to remove the associated key from the Windows Registry. Removing the Windows service has no effect on the server instance's configuration that is saved in the domain's configuration file. After you remove the Windows service, you can start the WebLogic Server instance with start scripts or, for Managed Servers, the Node Manager.
The script sets values for variables that identify the name of the server instance and other server-specific information. Then the script calls a master uninstall script, WL_HOME\server\bin\uninstallSvc.cmd, where WL_HOME is the directory in which you installed WebLogic Server. The master scripts invokes the wlsvc utility, which removes a key from the Windows Registry.
If we see, problem is with the type of command that JDeveloper executes to start the weblogic instance is old and therefore does not work correctly, however below solution is working. It did solve the issue in my machine
I tried almost all internet and stackoverflow tips and no one didn't help me to open ports in Weblogic Server. My Weblogic server starts as windows service in windows server 2008 r2. In config.xml on the path..user_projects\domains\%Any_app%\config\config.xml i added this string for each server in arguments -
For me the solution was to edit regedit with my weblogic as win service. Path:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/services/%Name_of_service% and here u can edit settings(add some strings in setting fields) and then restart machine with u server.
