Retrieve system properties, eg. weblogic.system.home

Hi!
I am trying to retrieve the value of the system property weblogic.system.home. Note
that it is not defined in the weblogic.properties file in WL5.1 with SP8, but specified
in a start WL batch script.
The code snippet
.. System.getProperty("weblogic.system.home") ...
returns null.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Regards,
Jan

T3ServicesDef t3 = T3Services.getT3Services();
home = t3.config().getProperty("weblogic.system.home");

It is weblogic.system.home - do not confuse.
Fri May 11 11:40:26 PDT 2001:<I> <Config> Property name: 'weblogic.system.home',
current value: '/home/weblogic/weblogic51_lab'

See Java System properties using WebLogic Server console

hi
If I deploy "systempropertiesweb.war" [1] on WebLogic Server I can see all or individual Java System properties,
e.g. http://localhost:7101/systempropertiesweb/systemproperties?property=java.version results in "java.version = 1.6.0_24"
Is it possible to see the same Java System properties using WebLogic Server Administration Console? If so, how?
( via http://localhost:7101/console )

How to put system properties into weblogic6.1

The article below contains information about how to create 1.44 MB Mac boot floppies under Mac OS X. Without having tested this procedure at all, I cannot say whether recent system versions would work or not.
http://lowendmac.com/brierley/08pb/classic-mac-boot-floppy.html
Otherwise, the easiest way would probably be to locate another older (pre-1998) Mac with a built-in floppy drive for 1.44 MB (and possibly with a direct Internet connection). JustSomeGuy provided you with links to two 6.0.8 (1.44 MB) downloads. A utility called StuffIt Expander can be used to decode downloaded MacBinary (.bin) files on the Mac in question. After decoding and decompression, one can create sector-copied floppies from the resulting disk images via (the Make A Copy button in) Disk Copy 4.2.
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English -North_American/Macintosh/Utilities/Disk_Copy/
If it is absolutely impossible to locate another older Mac, one could even use a Windows PC with a floppy drive (an appropriate version of Aladdin/StuffIt Expander for Windows, and a disk-image utility like WinImage, would be needed in order to make sector-copied 1.44 MB floppies).

How do you determine weblogic.system.executeThreadCount

we r doing load testing a web based application with the following setup.
Two 1 Gb Ram servers, one hosting Database(oracle 8i) server and the other hosting
Weblogic5.1 + Apache server.
The system is stable upto 90 concurrent users. with response times well below 5 secs.
with apprximately 20 deplyed stateless session beans
weblogic.system.executeThreadCount=45
connectionPool/maxconnections = 45.
max heap allocated 512 MB
weblogic.system.servletThreadCount=0
but once the concurrent users cross 90, the system takes longer response times,and
at arond 130 concurrent users the load testing tool gets timeouts.
I am a bit confused on how to select the best value for executeThreadCount ?
Is it better to set servletThreadCount also ? if so, are the
parameters
1) weblogic.system.executeThreadCount
2) weblogic.system.servletThreadCOunt
3) max. no concurrent users to be supported and
4) RAM available
related in any way ? I know these parameters depend on the application as well, but
are there any max/min values for these parameters.best put, how do you work out weblogic.system.executeThreadCount
value.
u can pls. help.

URGENT: Passing system properties to individual thread processes

Hi:
I'm trying to invoke multiple java Servers from a Controller class to enable starting all the servers in a single JVM. The code is shown below:
public class Controller {
/** Creates new Controller */
public Controller() {
* @param args the command line arguments
public static void main(String args[]) {
(new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
ChatServerRMI.Server.main(null);
})).start();
(new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
LoginService.LoginServerBaseImpl.main(null);
})).start();
However I want to pass system properties/arguments to each main() call. Can someone please explain me how this can be done.....ur help will be appreciated with D$s!
Thanks in advance.

If by "system properties" you mean the system properties accessible by System.getProperty("user.dir") and the like, you don't have to do anything to make those available to the threads. They are global and any piece of code can access them.
If you want to pass arguments to the various "main" methods as if they had been typed at the command line, you just make an array of strings with those arguments and use it as the parameter. For example:ChatServerRMI.Server.main(new String[] {"-port" "2023"});And if you don't want to pass any parameters, do it like this:String[] nothing = new String[0];
LoginService.LoginServerBaseImpl.main(nothing);

How to change location for config files in WLS6.0 (like weblogic.home and weblogic.system.home in 5.1)

Hi,
I would like to point weblogic to a directory NOT under c:\bea\... for it's configuration.
I used to do this on WLS 5.1 by setting:
weblogic.home=/weblogic and weblogic.system.home=/projects/wlsconfig
This way my config was NOT coupled to the weblogic install.
I want to do the same thing, and have the config directory located in /projects/domainconfig
for example.
weblogic.system.home etc doesn't seem to do anything. The
only variable that does anything is bea.home, but I need weblogic to find it's
libs etc in /bea, but ONLY the config should be elsewhere.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Dion

From SP1 and beyond, you can use
-Dweblogic.RootDirectory=<dirname>
* The property for specifying configuration location:
* The directory name of the domain from which to load the specified
* configuration. The default is ".".
* -Dweblogic.RootDirectory=<dirname>
* The directory must exist.

Use of weblogic.system.home property

Hi,
I am working on Windows 2000, with weblogic 6.0.
I am trying to launch the default weblogic server with the
script startWebLogic.cmd, but I modified the original script
to set the current directory as the script directory.
So I commented the cd ..\.. command and set the weblogic.system.home on the java
weblogic.Server, as it is
written in the adminguide page 2-6
But it seems that weblogic can no longer find the config.xml file.
In fact the exception I got is the following "weblogic.management.configuration.ConfigurationException:
XmlRepository directory .\config does not exist" and the startup.log file contains
the following warning : "####<Feb 10, 2001 12:12:51 PM EST> <Warning> <Management>
<nicolas> <myserver> <main> <> <> <000000> <Unrecognized property: system.home>"
So I am just wondering if the system.home property is still supported or if it is
a documentation mistake (or misunderstanding)
Else is there any way to start a weblogic server with the home dir different than
the installation root.
Thanks
But

Weblogic.system.home

I need help getting WL6.0 to do what Ihave been doing in 5.1.

This no longer seems to work in 6.0 (getProperty is gone). What object do I need to reference to get the root directory of the installation w/ 6.0??

Weblogic.system.home property

Hi,
I used to launch weblogic 5.1 from a directory other that the wl
installation directory by passing -Dweblogic.system.home=myDirectory when
launching the server. This doesn't work with 6.0. I get the following
exception (note that if I start wl from its installation directory,
everything is fine) :
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ License Exception $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Unable to start WebLogic Server !!
Improperly formatted license file: D:\license.bea
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ License Exception $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Is "weblogic.system.home" still valid ? If not, what is the new way of doing
this?
Thanks, Alexandre.

I don't know if this was a problem in beta-1.
Could you try beta-2 (download from bea.com) and re-post if you still
see the problem?.
I just tried with the latest source line and i can run the server by
specifying a different
weblogic home directory.

How do I get the Weblogic system name in WLS 6.1 sp2 without creating T3Client

Hi Folks,
In Weblogic Server 5.1, I get the weblogic.system.name using the following code:

String systemName t3services.config().getProperty("weblogic.system.name");
What is the counterpart for Weblogic Server 6.1?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The class doesn't seem to be documented in the normal documentation, but
you can get an overview of the methods by executing
javap weblogic.management.Admin
with weblogic.jar in your classpath.
Hope that helps,

The weblogic.server.name property in WLS 5.1 has been replaced by the
property weblogic.Name in WLS 6.X. Although it is possible to retrieve
this value by calling System.getProperty(), I would encourage you to
use
the new JMX services which have replaced our proprietary management
interfaces (T3ServicesDef, et. al.). For example, you could write aJMX
client to read the various properties of ServerMBean. To get started,
here is the link to our WebLogic JMX documentation:
Programming WebLogic JMX Services
<http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/jmx/index.html>
Please post any follow-up questions about JMX to the
weblogic.developer.interest.management.general_and_jmx newsgroup.
Besides writing a JMX client, you can also take advantage of the
following short-cut for retrieving the server name. The remaining code
for this example can be found in your WebLogic Server samples directory
under: ./wlserver6.1/samples/examples/cluster/rmi/HelloClusterImpl.java
private String getLocation(){
String toReturn = null;
try{
toReturn = weblogic.management.Admin.getServerName();
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("HelloClusterImpl failed getLocation");
e.printStackTrace();
if(toReturn==null){
return "";
}else{

How do I set System properties within WL6.0?

I am setting WL6.0 up to have a startup class, but this class needs to
read system properties which have not yet been set. How do I set these
up within weblogic? I was able to get the startup class set up, but it
needs these system properties to continue.
gmo

Correct on all points. The one advantage of doing this in java is that you can more easily do more
complex things like accessing configuration information from a remote data store (like a database).
Dimitri Rakitine wrote:
These are not needed if you simply replace java ...lots of options... weblogic.Server with
java ...lots of options... startmyWLS in the script which starts WebLogic, but, on the other
hand, this solution is no different from simply adding -DmyProperty=myValue to the startup script
(I think that the ultimate goal is the ability to deploy(and redeploy!) components,
without any mods to the particular vendor's startup scripts of anything of that nature).

How to dynamically refresh system properties when changed

Hi All,
Through weblogic startup class I'm loading the properties from a properties file
into system properties, Now my requirement is to refresh those system properties
when ever I make changes to the properties.
Is there any way to achieve this functionality through MBeans.

Hello Lucky,
I believe you cannot refresh properties file dynamically using MBeans. What
you can do is write an MBean which necessrily mirror your property file and
register with MBeanServer. You can set values on the MBean dynamically but
in order to persist your changes you need to write your own persistance
mechanism.
Cheers

Setting System properties and classpath at boot

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to weblogic and I'd need to set some system properties and classpath definitions for my servers at boot. Can I set them via the Administration console or just adding them to the startWeblogic/startManagedWeblogic using the standard -cp and -D flags ?
I've found in the Console, there's the Server Boot properties. However adding them there didn't work. Correct me if I'm wrong, this option can be used ONLY when starting the servers from the Node Manager ?
Thanks
Frank

Hi Frank,
You are right!!!!
But you can set them with in setDomainEnv file under java_option.
Please set under
Unix
JAVA_OPTION = "${JAVA_OPTION} -DXXXXX"
In Windows
set JAVA_OPTION = %JAVA_OPTION% -DXXXXX
Hope this will help you.
