What are the modes of operation for Weblogic server domains


There are two modes: Development and production mode:

Development mode:

ü  You use development mode while you are developing your applications. Development mode uses a relaxed security configuration and enables you to auto-deploy applications.
ü  You can use the demonstration digital certificates provided by the WebLogic Server security services. With these certificates, you can design your application to work within environments secured by SSL.
ü  WebLogic Server instances can automatically deploy and update applications that reside in the domain_name/applications directory.
ü  When you start a server, the server automatically renames (rotates) its local server log file as server-name.log.n. For the remainder of the server session, the server rotates its local log file whenever the size of the file reaches 500 kilobytes.
ü  The default number of threads available to Execute Queues is 15.
ü  The default capacity is 15 JDBC connections.

Production mode:

ü  You use production mode when your application is running in its final form. A production domain uses full security and may use clusters or other advanced features.
ü  A warning message is displayed if you use the demonstration digital certificates.
ü  The auto-deployment feature is disabled, so you must use the WebLogic Server Administration Console or the weblogic.Deployer tool.
ü  A server rotates its local log file after the size of the file reaches 500 kilobytes.
ü  The default number of threads available to Execute Queues is 25.
ü  The default capacity is 25 JDBC connections.
