Install WDT

Download and install the software

The WebLogic Deploy Tooling project repository is located at https://github.com/oracle/weblogic-deploy-tooling.
You can download binary distributions of the weblogic-deploy.zip or weblogic-deploy.tar.gz installers from the GitHub Releases page.

  1. To install the software, simply unzip the weblogic-deploy.zip installer on a machine that has the desired versions of WebLogic Server installed.
  2. After being unzipped, the software is ready to use, just set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to a Java 7 or higher Oracle JDK and the shell scripts are ready to run.

Supported WLS versions

The following table specifies the supported WebLogic Server versions, along with the JDK versions, that must be used to run the WDT tool. You must set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to specify a JDK version different from the system default version.

To create a domain with the proper JDK (particularly if the JAVA_HOME is different from the one which will be used by the target domain), set the domain JavaHome attribute in the domain model.

Note

The Encryption Model Tool used to encrypt and decrypt clear-text passwords in the model and variable files, requires WDT to run with JDK version that supports the necessary encryption algorithms. This means later versions of JDK 7 and all versions of JDK 8 and 11.
