Steps to create partitions in WLS 12.2.1

Original Publish Date : 5/30/2016

Below are the steps to create partitions in Weblogic Server 12.2.1 :

Step 1 :

– Create a weblogic domain (say Partition_From_Windows_Domain)

FMW control is the recommended console for Partition management, so it is good to enable it at the time of domain creation.

To enable FMW control select “Oracle Enterprise Manager-Restricted JRF – 12.2.1 [em]” template in the configuration wizard, as shown below :

To access FMW control access : http://<host>:<port>/em

NOTE : We will continue using Weblogic Admin console to create partitions in this example.

Partition names : coke-partition and pepsi-partition

Partition specific realms : coke_realm and pepsi_realm

Partition specific Admin Users : coke_admin and pepsi_admin

Virtual Targets for these partitions : coke-vt and pepsi-vt

Partition Specific Resource Groups : coke-rg1 and pepsi-rg1

Step 2 :

Before creating a partition, you need to create a security realm (then create an Admin user inside this realm, say coke_admin and pepsi_admin) and virtual target for this partition :

To create a new security realm :

Login to console -> Security Realms -> new (say ‘coke_realm’ and ‘pepsi_realm’) -> “create default providers within this new realm” (check)

Now create a Virtual target :

Login to console -> + Environment -> Virtual Targets -> new (say coke-vt) and target it to Weblogic Server (say Admin Server) -> specify a URI Prefix

Step 3 :

Lets create a partition now :

Login to console -> Domain Partitions -> new (say coke-partition)-> then target it to a Virtual target (say coke-vt) -> select the security realm for this partition from the drop down menu (say coke_realm)
