One of the most common questions we get asked with ConfigNOW is how do I get started and it is actually very simple. Firstly download the installation package from our web site.

http://www.integraltech.com.au/confignow/

and then unpack it in to a directory, I’m using D:\ConfigNOW

Now simply go to the directory where you have installed ConfigNOW and edit the D:\ConfigNOW\config\environments\local\simple.properties file, this is a simple WebLogic configuration that we are going to load.

In the simple.properties file change wls.oracle.home to reflect the home directory of your WebLogic installation, for example

wls.oracle.home=D:\oracle\middleware

and wls.domain.javahome to reflect the JDK that you wish to use, for example

wls.domain.javahome=${wls.oracle.home}/jdk160_21

Go back to the main ConfigNOW installation directory and run.

D:\ConfigNOW>confignow create_domain local simple

That’s all you need to do!  You now have a working WebLogic domain that you could boot using the command

D:\ConfigNOW>confignow start_wls_admin local simple
