Creating a WebLogic Domain in Graphical Mode.

* Same as Create Domain as described above.

* When you extend a WebLogic domain in which the Managed Servers are distributed (by using the pack and unpack commands) to remote machines, the startup scripts on the remote machines are not updated automatically.
* To ensure that startup scripts on the remote machines are updated, perform the following steps after extending the domain:
– Delete the Managed Server directories on the remote machines.
– Create a Managed Server template from the extended domain, by using the pack command with the -managed=true option.
– Create Managed Servers on the remote machines, by using the unpack command to unpack the Managed Server template.
