converting weblogic processes into services - and getting things to autostart on windows

Here is a simple tip for anyone to be a better technical person.  If you ever build a machine, please ensure that everything starts automatically.  You need scripts and you need to test that when the machine starts, everything starts.  You job is NOT done until this occurs. <!--[if !mso]><![endif]

Here is a quick trick for registering all of your weblogic processes as services, and therefore getting them to start automatically. 

This will be beneficial when you are looking at cloud and looking to save money.

Firstly you'll find "install

There is a template file in C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\wlserver\server\bin which probably has the wrong dirs specified (if you did not keep standard, or even if you did).  Check the path of the last two lines.

In C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\E1_Apps\bin you'll have 

installSvc.cmd for the node manager, run this.

Then create a copy of installSvc, and make it look something like the below.

Note that the names of the servers are from:

C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\E1_Apps\servers>dir /B

Create your file and run it, then you'll have services!
