Starting and Stopping Node Manager
Configuring and Managing WebLogic Server 4-9
Note: If you run Node Manager on a UNIX operating system other than Solaris or
HP UX, you cannot have any white space characters in any of the parameters
that will be passed to the
java command line when starting Node Manager.
For example, this command fails due to the space character in the name “
big
iron”
.
-Dweblogic.Name="big iron"
See “Node Manager Properties” on page 4-10 for information about all Node Manager
command-line arguments.
Node Manager Environment Variables
Before starting Node Manager, you must set several environment variables. You can
set the environment variables for a domain in a start script or on the command line. The
sample start scripts provided with WebLogic Server—
startNodeManager.cmd for
Windows systems and
startNodeManager.sh for UNIX systems—set the required
variables, which are listed in the following table.
