Scanning Domains

When you scan a domain, WebLogic Management performs a series of checks to see if the WebLogic domain can be patched. Scans also look for any changes to the domain, such as new WebLogic servers.

Tip

Before scanning a domain, consider reviewing the state of the domain and its servers to ensure they are active and running.
    1. On the Domains list page, find the domain(s) you want to work with.
    2. Use one of the following options to start a domain scan.
      • Option 1: Check one or more domains and then click Scan.
      • Option 2: For one domain, select Scan from the Actions menu (Actions icon)
      • Option 3: Select the name of a domain and then from its details page, click Scan.
    3. From the Scan domain dialog, review that this is the domain(s) to scan and then click Scan.

      A scan in-progress message displays and domain state changes to Updating.

    4. (Optional) On the domain details page under Resources, click Work requests to view the scan's progress.
    5. When the scan is complete, the details page(s) refreshes and shows any changes to the domain and server patch readiness. Review the patch readiness of the domain and its servers.
      • If the domain Patch readiness status is Passed, the domain can be patched. Click Recommended patches to see the patches that are available to apply.
      • If the domain Patch readiness status is Failed or the Server patch readiness shows Warning or Failed servers, review the Servers section. Click View patch readiness details from the Actions menu (Actions icon) to learn why a particular server did not pass readiness checks and to help you take corrective action.
  • Use the oci wlms wls-domain scan command and required parameters to scan a WebLogic domain for patchability.
