This post is related to our presentation at Oracle OpenWorld 2014. All code/configuration used during the presentation is available here. The presentation as a PDF file – CON3633_Sysco_Booting_Weblogic To start and stop AdminServer and the managed servers, we use a Jython (Python) script. It is on purpose made simple, but on production systems there should be more error handling, and also more efficient connection handling (i.e., check if there is a connection to NodeManager...

To understand this, there are also some generic...
