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 set up both an Administration Server and a Managed Server to run as Windows services on the same computer, modify the WebLogic Server master script so that the Managed Server starts only after the Administration Server finishes its startup cycle. For more information, refer to Requiring Managed Servers to Start After Administration Servers.

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 absolute-pathname is the absolute pathname of the Administration Server's root directory (the directory that contains the domain's configuration file). See "Specifying a Server Root Directory" in Understanding Domain Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server.

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.

where Numberm is a numerical value in megabytes (MB). The-XmsNumberm argument establishes a minimum heap size for the JVM and the -XmxNumberm sets a maximum heap size. By default, the minimum heap size is 23 MB and the maximum heap size is 200 MB.

where number_of_attempts is the number of times that the Windows service will perform a status check to determine if a WebLogic Server instance is started. If you specify this variable along with HOST and PORT, the Windows service will wait until the WebLogic Server instance is started. ip_address is the IP address of the WebLogic Server instance and port_number is the port on which the WebLogic Server instance is listening for requests.

If you want to install a Managed Server as a Windows service, you must include a variable that specifies the location of the domain's Administration Server. The Managed Server must contact the Administration Server to retrieve its configuration data.

For example, if your Administration Server requires 2 minutes to complete its startup cycle and begin listening for requests, then specify -delay=120000. When you boot the Windows host computer, the Microsoft Management Console reports a status of SERVER_START_PENDING for 2 minutes. Then it changes the status to STARTED.

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.

You can determine whether a graceful shutdown operation drops all HTTP sessions immediately and you can configure the amount of time that a graceful shutdown operation waits before forcing a shut down. For more information, refer to "Control graceful shutdowns" in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Help.

By default, when you use the Microsoft Management Console to stop a Windows service, it waits 30 seconds for the service to stop before it kills the service and prints a timeout message to the System event log.

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.

For more information about JMX programming, refer to Developing Custom Management Utilities With JMX for Oracle WebLogic Server. For more information about the ServerRuntime MBean, refer to the WebLogic Server Javadoc.

If you want the Windows service to rotate the message file at a specific time interval regardless of file size, add the following statements at the top of the file, each statement on a separate line (make sure to press the Enter or Return key after typing the last line):

where TIME_START_DATE specifies when the first rotation should take place. If the specified time has already passed, the first rotation occurs when the time interval specified in TIME_INTERVAL_MINS expires. You must use the following format to specify the start time: Month Day Year Hour:Minutes:Seconds

When the time interval expires, the Windows service saves the file as pathname-yyyy_mm_dd-hh_mm_ss. It then creates a new file named pathname. This new file, which contains all of the headers that you specified originally, collects new standard out and standard error messages.

If you want the Windows service to rotate the message file after the file grows beyond a specified size, add the following statements at the top of the file, each statement on its own line (make sure to press the Enter or Return key after typing the last line):

When the Windows service checks the file size, if the file is larger than the size you specify, it saves the file as pathname-yyyy_mm_dd-hh_mm_ss. It then creates a new file named pathname. This new file, which contains all of the headers that you specified originally, collects new standard out and standard error messages.

If you specify # ROTATION_TYPE = SIZE but do not include the other lines, the Windows service checks the size of the message file every 5 minutes. If the file is larger than 1 megabytes, it rotates the file.

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.

If you install the Windows service in a production environment, Oracle recommends that you do not run the service under an operating-system user account that has administrator-level privileges. For more information, see Verifying the User Account Under Which the Service Runs.

In a production environment, WebLogic Server Windows services should run under a special operating-system user account that has limited access privileges. For example, the OS user should have access privileges only to Oracle files and to your domain files. This should be the only user account that has access to these files.
