New and improved (re-)start and stop scripts for Fusion MiddleWare.

Last year I created a set of start and stop scripts for Weblogic/Fusion MiddleWare. Although I was quite happy with them at the time, I found that there was quite a lot of duplicate code. And I think I could improve them by combining at least the wlst scripts into one, making it a lot better maintainable, but also opening up for restart functionality. And doing so make the scripts more generic. I took my (re-)start and stop script for OHS components as an example and came up with an improved set of start/stop scripts.

For the property files (fmw12_env.sh, fmw.properties, user key files, etc. ) I refer to  start and stop scripts for Weblogic/Fusion MiddleWare.

WLST

As said I created just one wlst script, startStopDomain.py:

The script can be called with two parameters and a property file:

• startStopOption: start, stop, restart
• component: AdminSvr, Domain, Clusters, Servers

Based on the value of component the start, stop or restart option is issued on either the AdminServer, the Domain clusters, servers or the complete domain. The main function starts with connecting to the AdminServer. If the AdminServer is not started yet, it will connect to the NodeManager to start the AdminServer.

In case of a restart or a stop the particular components are stopped. And in case of a start or restart the particular components are started. 

The advancement of this script, in contrast with other start/stop scripts I've seen is that it will give a start command to a cluster. Doing so, all the servers in a cluster will get a start command simultaneously. For stopping the server in a cluster, the WLSException that can be raised in the stop command is caught, to try to stop try to stop the servers one by one. 

Another advancement of this script is that is determined which clusters there are in a domain, and these are traversed one by one.

Update 2017-04-20: Today I added also the possiblilty to start a list of clusters or servers. If you don't provide a list of clusters or servers, all the clusters or servers in the domain are (re-)started or stopped. Except for the AdminServer, by the way.

Bash

To call the wlst script I created a set of bash scripts.

To start the AdminServer, startAdmin.sh:

#!/bin/bash
#############################################################################
# Start AdminServer using wlst and connect to it.
#
# @author Martien van den Akker, Darwin-IT Professionals
# @version 2.2, 2016-04-18
#
#############################################################################
#  
. fmw12c_env.sh
echo
echo Start AdminServer
wlst.sh ./startStopDomain.py start AdminSvr -loadProperties fmw.properties

To stop or restart the AdminServer, replace start in 'wlst.sh ./startStopDomain.py start AdminSvr' by either stop or restart. And save the file to either stopAdmin.sh or restartAdmin.sh.

To create the corresponding files for Domain or Clusters replace AdminSvr in the same line with either Domains or Clusters.

I think you'll get the drift. And of course you should adapt the comments and echo's.

But maybe a more generic (re-)start or stop script is startStopDmn.sh:

#!/bin/bash
#############################################################################
# Start Domain components using wlst
#
# @author Martien van den Akker, Darwin-IT Professionals
# @version 1.0, 2017-04-19
#
#############################################################################
#
. fmw12c_env.sh
export START_STOP_OPTION=$1
export COMPONENT_TYPE=$2
export ENV=$3
export COMPONENT_NAME=$4
echo
echo "(Re-)Start or stop Domain components"
wlst.sh ./startStopDomain.py ${START_STOP_OPTION} ${COMPONENT_TYPE} "${COMPONENT_NAME}" -loadProperties ${ENV}.properties

Then you could do a startAdmin.sh like:

./startStopDmn.sh start AdminSvr fmw

And a stopAdmin.sh like:

./startStopDmn.sh stop AdminSvr fmw

Or a restartServers.sh like:

./startStopDmn.sh restart Servers fmw $1

Here you can provide a comma-separated list of servers, between double-quotes:

./restartServers "soa_server1,soa_server2"

etc. etc.
Advantage of this approach is that it allows you to use the same script set for multiple environemts, by duplicating and adapting the fmw.properties file to other environments (like domains).
