Old WLST tools

As you might know after the acquisition of BEA Systems by Oracle, Dev2Dev site has been discontinued. Unfortunately I don’t see a replacement for that, not only we lost some rich information, but a number of good tools.

In that context, in the last few months I had inquiries from some users asking where they could find the original WLST that works with WebLogic 8.1 and 7.0, also WLST Script Generator and Console extension that work with WebLogic 9.x.

Now you can get these from the new google code project wlst-modules. WLST Script Generator 9.x can be downloaded from here. The zip contains a ReadMe.html that should walk you through the configurations steps. And for those unfortunate souls who are still using WebLogic 7.0 and 8.1, WLST jar can be downloaded from here.

This is a good way to speed up your WebSphere Server start up time.

If your WebSphere Servers are taking too long to start up you can try enabling “Start components as needed” from the Admin Console as shown below.

I got a 20% decrease in time once I enabled this on my WebSphere Portal Server but your mileage may vary ..
