WebLogic Server does not support copying a boot identity file from one server root directory to another. For information on creating and using boot identity files, see <A href="http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/ConsoleHelp/startstop.html#BootIdentityFiles">Boot Identity Files</A> in Administration Console Online Help. <A name=250700></A>Q. Can I start a Managed Server if the Administration Server is unavailable? <A name=250853></A>A. By default, if a Managed Server is unable to connect to the specified Administration Server during startup, it can retrieve its configuration by reading a configuration file and other files directly. You cannot change the server's configuration until the Administration Server is available. A Managed Server that starts in this way is running in Managed Server Independence mode. For more information, see <A href="http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/adminguide/failures.html#starting_MS_when_AS_not_accessible">Starting a Managed Server When the Administration Server Is Not Accessible</A> in Configuring and Managing WebLogic Server. <A name=250636></A>Q. What is the easiest way to set the classpath? <A name=250814></A>WebLogic Server installs the following script that you can use to set the classpath that a server requires: <CODE style="FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: courier">WL_HOME</CODE><CODE style="FONT-FAMILY: courier">\server\bin\setWLSEnv.cmd</CODE> (on Windows) <CODE style="FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: courier">WL_HOME</CODE><CODE style="FONT-FAMILY: courier">/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh</CODE> (on UNIX) <A name=250678></A>where <CODE style="FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: courier">WL_HOME</CODE> is the directory in which you installed WebLogic Server. For more information, see "<A href="http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/admin_ref/weblogicServer.html#SettingClasspath">Setting the Classpath</A>" in the WebLogic Server Command Reference. <A name=250212></A>Q. How do I edit the <CODE style="FONT-FAMILY: courier">config.xml</CODE> file? <A name=250213></A>A. The persistent configuration for a domain of WebLogic Servers and clusters is stored in an XML configuration file (<CODE style="FONT-FAMILY: courier">config.xml</CODE>). You can modify this file in the following ways: <UL type=square> <LI type=square><A name=250214></A>Use the Administration Console. See "<A href="http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/ConsoleHelp/console.html">Using the Administration Console</A>" in the Administration Console Online Help.</LI> <LI type=square><A name=251427></A>If you want to create scripts that automate domain management, use the <CODE style="FONT-FAMILY: courier">weblogic.Admin</CODE> utility. See "<A href="http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/admin_ref/cli.html">weblogic.Admin Command-Line Reference</A>" in the <CODE style="FONT-FAMILY: courier">.</CODE> </LI> <LI type=square><A name=250215></A>If you want to create Java-based management applications, use the Java Management Extensions (JMX) Application Programming Interface (API). See the <A href="http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/jmx/index.html">Programming WebLogic Management Services with JMX</A> guide. </LI> <LI type=square><A name=250525></A>If you want to edit the <CODE style="FONT-FAMILY: courier">config.xml</CODE> file directly (not recommended), see the <A href="http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/config_xml/index.html">BEA WebLogic Server Configuration Reference</A>.</LI></UL> <A name=251513></A>Q. Is there a quick way to create and start a remote Managed Server? <A name=251747></A>A. The recommended approach is to use the Domain Configuration Wizard, as described in "<A href="http://e-docs.bea.com/platform/docs81/confgwiz/multi.html">Setting Up and Starting Managed Servers on a Remote Machine</A>" in Creating WebLogic Configurations Using the Configuration Wizard at <CODE style="FONT-FAMILY: courier">http://e-docs.bea.com/platform/docs81/confgwiz/multi.html</CODE>. <A name=251800></A>For a streamlined approach, follow the instructions at "<A href="http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/ConsoleHelp/startstop.html#startMSwithScript">Starting Managed Servers From a WebLogic Server Script</A>" in the Administration Console Online Help. <A name=251948></A>Q. The Tree View pane of the WebLogic Console is not visible in my browser. How do I enable it? <A name=251936></A>A. Enable the Sun Java Plug-In from the control panel.
