1)Installing Weblogic Server as a Windows Service:

Steps:

Create a batch file (.bat format) with the following script in the domain directory to Start WLS as a windows service and run this batch file through the command prompt.

Syntax:
---------------------------------------------------
SETLOCAL
set DOMAIN_NAME=
set USERDOMAIN_HOME=
set SERVER_NAME=
set JAVA_HOME=
call “”
ENDLOCAL
---------------------------------------------------
