fix
 

1.        Click on the Discovery tab of the Knowledge Script Pane.

2.        Drag the WebLogicSvrUNIX Knowledge Script onto the machine(s) that contain at least one installation of BEA WebLogic Server release 6.0, 6.1, or 7.0

3.        The ?Semi-colon separated list of Administration Server hostname:port combinations? parameter tells Discovery the information it needs to contact the Administration Server(s) for the WebLogic Servers on a machine.  The Administration Server contains the configuration information for the WebLogic Servers that Discover needs to build the objects that it will add to the TreeView.

a.        If you are trying to discover only one version of BEA WebLogic Server, and all of the WebLogic Servers on the machines on which you dropped the Discovery Knowledge Script have the same Administration Server, enter the hostname:port of the Administration Server.  Do not enter any spaces before or after the colon.  You do not need any semi-colons.

b.       If you are trying to discover more than one version of BEA WebLogic Server or the WebLogic Servers on the machines on which you dropped the Discovery Knowledge Script have different Administration Servers, you must enter one hostname:port for each Administration Server.  Do not add any spaces before or after the colon.  Separate each hostname:port by a semi-colon.  Do not add any spaces before or after the semicolon.

4.        For the ?Semi-colon separated list of directories in which to search for WebLogic home directories ?? parameter, enter a list of directories in which Discovery should search for the home directory for WebLogic Server, which contains the config.xml and registry.xml files.

a.        If you are trying to discov.
er one version of BEA WebLogic Server on one machine, or one version on multiple machines that all have the same home directory for WebLogic Server, all you need is a single directory with no semi-colons.

b.       If you are trying to discover more than one installation on a machine, or if you are trying to discover installations on different machines and the home directory for WebLogic Server is different on those machines, you will need to supply more than one directory.  Separate them by semi-colons.  Do not add any spaces before or after a semi-colon.

5.        If the home directory contains a registry.xml file (and it should it most cases), you do not have to supply anything for the ?Semi-colon separated list of directories in which to search for a Java Runtime Environment? parameter.  If the home directory does NOT contain a registry.xml file, you?ll need to supply a directory containing a JRE ? only one JRE is required per machine.

a.        If you are trying to discover on just one machine, or multiple machines that all have a JRE in the same directory, all you need is a single directory with no semi-colons.

b.       If you are trying to discover on multiple machines, each of which may have a JRE in a different directory, you will need to supply more than one directory.  Separate them by semi-colons.  Do not add any spaces before or after a semi-colon.

6.        The NetIQ WebLogic Server agent needs to bind to some port.  The NetIQ WebLogic Server agent is a separate process that provides a bridge between executing Knowledge Scripts and WebLogic Servers, so the Knowledge Scripts must communicate with it via some port.  This port can be any port that is not being used by any other application on the machine.  For the ?Semi-colon separated list of NetIQ agent ports? parameter:

a.        If you are trying to discover just one version of BEA WebLogic Server per machine, all you need is a si.
ngle port that is available on each of the machines.

b.       If you are trying to discover more than one version of BEA WebLogic Server per machine, you need one port for each version.  Separate them by semi-colons.  Do not add any spaces before or after a semi-colon.

7.        All other parameters can be ignored.

        8.   Press OK. .
