Projects

A project is a group of connections to either WebLogic Administration Servers or WebLogic Deploy Tooling (WDT) models or both.

Create a project

  1. Open File > New Project.
  2. Enter a name for the project and click OK. The new project will appear in the Kiosk.
  3. Expand the Kiosk and beside the project name, click ⋮. Select either Add Admin Server Connection Provider or Add WDT Model File Provider. You can add multiple of either to the project and it doesn’t matter which order you add them in. You can also create a WDT model file with minimal configuration by selecting Create Provider for New WDT Model File.
  4. To add an Admin Server connection:
    1. Select Add Admin Server Connection Provider.
    2. Enter a name for the the connection in the Connection Name field. This is merely a reference name and does not need to match the name of the Administration Server.
    3. Enter the username and password credentials for a user account for that domain.
    4. If necessary, update the URL to match the actual location of the Administration Server.
    5. Click OK to connect the WebLogic Remote Console to the Administration Server.
  5. To add a WDT model file:
    1. Select Add WDT Model File Provider.
    2. Enter a name for the model in the Model Name field. This is merely a reference name and does not need to match the name of the WDT model.
    3. Click Upload file and browse to the WDT model file (a YAML or JSON file).
    4. Click OK to upload the file.
  6. To create a WDT model file with minimal configurations:
    1. Select Create Provider for New WDT Model File.
    2. Enter a name for the model in the WDT Model Provider Name field. This is merely a reference name and does not need to match the name of the WDT model.
    3. Enter a name for the WDT model file in the WDT Model Filename field. Include .yaml or .json at the end of the file name.
    4. Click Upload file and browse to the directory where you want to save the new WDT model file.
    5. Optional: Enable Use Sparse Template to create a WDT model file which does not contain any references to an Administration Server.
    6. Click OK to create the file.

The Administration Server connection or WDT model will appear in the Kiosk. Select a connection to make it active in the content pane and you can begin editing it. See Edit Domain Configurations for tips on how making changes in the WebLogic Remote Console differs from the Administration Console.

If you plan to edit WDT model files, it’s recommended that you use the desktop application over the browser.

Switch between projects

You can create multiple projects in the WebLogic Remote Console, each with different domain connections or WDT model files, or both.

To switch to another project, open the File menu and select Switch to project. Choose the project you want to switch to.

Edit a project

You can edit a project and its connections at any time.

To add connections to a project, expand the Kiosk and click ⋮.

To rename a project, open the File menu and select Rename current-project.

To edit the details of a connection, expand the Kiosk and select the Settings icon icon beside the connection you want to edit.

Export a project

If you’re using the WebLogic Remote Console across several computers, exporting a project is a convenient way to share a project across multiple computers.

If your project contains a WDT model file, make sure the location of the WDT model file is accessible to all the computers where this project will be imported to.

  1. Create a project with all the desired connections.
  2. In the Kiosk, click ⋮ and select Export Providers as Project.
  3. Enter a name for the exported project. This is the name that will be used when it is imported into another WebLogic Remote Console instance.
  4. Enter a name for the file of the exported project.
  5. Click OK and choose a file location to save the exported project file.

WebLogic Remote Console creates a JSON file with the project details that you can import into other instances of WebLogic Remote Console

Import a project

You can import the project details of a previously created project to rapidly ramp up productivity in a new installation of WebLogic Remote Console.

  1. Export a project and save the file to the computer where you want to import it.
  2. On the computer where you want to import the file, start WebLogic Remote Console.
  3. Open the Kiosk menu and click ⋮.
  4. Select Import Project.
  5. Click Upload file and browse to the exported project file.
  6. Click Import.

The imported project will automatically become the current project loaded in the WebLogic Remote Console.

Delete a project

To delete a project, open the File menu and select Delete Project. Choose the project you want to delete.
