Weblogic domain creation script - WLST

In a continuation of our previous weblogic wlst scripts and automation tools. Here comes the weblogic domain creation script to create a new domain with the feature of creating managed servers, machines, clusters.

This script is tested in weblogic11g and 12c

 

Overview:

This is a python script that can be used in WLST scripting mode, which lets you create a new domain with more customisable properties like domain name, server name, resource mapping etc.

This script is a properties file-oriented one, which depends on the domain.properties file to create a domain, All the domain-related configuration has to be added in the standard format

[ Note*: Since the properties file name is hard codes into the script, you cannot change the properties file name unless you are changing the properties file name in python script ]

 Note: 

There is a better version of this script with following features

1. JSON properties file support
2. Creating Domains with Managed Server and Cluster and Node Manager mapping
3. Starting the AdminServer
4. Ansible Integration
