Creating a Windows Service for Oracle WebLogic Server

In case you are using the Oracle WebLogic Server under Windows, you may want to run your WebLogic Server as a Windows Service instead of all time running the provided cmd files to startup your WebLogic Server.
For this Oracle provides us a small script to create a Windows Service for our WebLogic Server, the script is located in %WL_HOME%\server\bin with the name installsvc.cmd. The best way to use this script is to build up a small wrapper script with all the necessary variable declarations and a call on the installsvc.cmd:

echo off

SETLOCAL
set DOMAIN_NAME=DemoDomain
set USERDOMAIN_HOME=D:\oracle\fmw-11.1.1\user_projects\domains\DemoDomain
set SERVER_NAME=DemoAdminServer
set PRODUCTION_MODE=true
set JAVA_VENDOR=BEA
set JAVA_HOME=D:\oracle\fmw-11.1.1\jrmc-4.0.1-1.6.0
set MEM_ARGS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m
call "D:\oracle\fmw-11.1.1\wlserver-10.3.3\server\bin\installSvc.cmd"
ENDLOCAL

Just adjust the above example to your settings and run the wrapper script, this will create you a Windows Service "beas %DOMAIN_NAME%_%SERVER_NAME%", if you dont like the naming convention for the Windows Service to be created, just edit the installsvc.cmd script. Nearly at the end you will find following line:

"%WL_HOME%\server\bin\beasvc" -install -svcname:"beasvc %DOMAIN_NAME%_%SERVER_NAME%" -javahome:"%JAVA_HOME%" -execdir:"%USERDOMAIN_HOME%" -maxconnectretries:"%MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES%" -host:"%HOST%" -port:"%PORT%" -extrapath:"%EXTRAPATH%" -password:"%WLS_PW%" -cmdline:%CMDLINE%

Just adjust the option -svcname to your prefered settings.
