How to start managed server automatically with admin server.

Question

Hello all, I have an admin server anda managed server configured in a machine. I want to start the managed server as soon as I run the script to start the admin server and node manager in the unix pc.
The admin and managed server are added to the same machine and the machine is connected with the node manager.
Please let me know what else need to be configured or make change in the script.

hello user12003735..
sorry for not mentioning the wlst tool path.
You can start the wlst(WEBLOGIC SCRIPTING TOOL) in two ways and run your jython scripts.
PROCEDURE 1) Directly invoking wlst :
You will find the wlst.cmd(wlst.sh in case of UNIX enviroments) in $WL_HOME/common/bin. From command line do this
wlst <JYTHON SCRIPT>
./wlst.sh <JYTHON SCRIPT> [UNIX]
PROCEDURE 2) From Command Line :
There is a jar file in $WL_HOME/server/lib named weblogic.jar. It conatins a class file named WLST.cmd in the package weblogic[Try jd-gui.exe java decompiler to look inside the jarfile. to get it google it]. This jar file actually makes the wlst tool running. If you try to look inside wlst.cmd or wlst.sh you will find that the scripts are internally adding this jar file in CLASSPATH and calling it:
eval '"${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java"' ${JVM_ARGS} weblogic.WLST '"$@"' [wlst.sh]
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %JVM_ARGS% weblogic.WLST %* [wslt.cmd]
So you can do exactly what the scripts doing from command line. do this :
{A} $WL_HOME/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh [or setWLSEnv.cmd] <---------------------------------------- SETS THE CLASSPATH
You will see a lot of jar files added to your classpath and this step is exactly same when you run the wlst from the scripts in PROCEDURE 1.
java weblogic.WLST <JYTHON SCRIPT>
One thing you can also use the weblogic jar file to monitor any weblogic server[You have to first set the env with setWLSEnv.cmd or .sh]:
java weblogic.Admin -url t3://<IP>:<PORT> -username <USERNAME> -password <PASSWORD> GETSTATE <SERVERNAME> [GETTING THE STATE]
java weblogic.Admin -url t3://<IP>:<PORT> -username <USERNAME> -password <PASSWORD> FORCESHUTDOWN <SERVERNAME> [FORCIBLY SHUTTING DOWN SERVERS]
You can do many other things with weblogic.jar not just the previous two. Refer to oracle manuals.
