By enabling the backup\/archiving, the administration Server can automatically backups the domain configuration (the entire domain-name\/config directory) during the server boot to DOMAIN_HOME\\config-original.jar and config-booted.jar. Also\u00a0multiple versions of the domain config will be archived by the Administration Server, each time the domain configuration is modified into the DOMAIN_CONFIG\\configArchive folder.The configuration archives can be used for system restoration in cases where accidental configuration changes need to be reversed.<\/p>\n

The below WLST script will help us to enable the backup\/archiving.<\/p>\n

EnableArchiving.py<\/b>
\n
\n<\/b>adminURL=’t3:\/\/localhost:8000′
\nadminUserName=’weblogic’
\nadminPassword=’welcome1′
\nconnect(adminUserName, adminPassword, adminURL)
\ndomainRuntime()
\nedit()
\nstartEdit()
\ncmo.setConfigBackupEnabled(true)
\ncmo.setArchiveConfigurationCount(5)
\nsave()
\nactivate()<\/div>\n

\nExecute the script.
\ncd %WLS_HOME%\\common\\bin
\nwlst.sh\u00a0EnableArchiving.py<\/p>\n

To verify the configuration- Login to admin console–>Click on Domain in the left panel–>Expand the Advanced in General Configuration\u00a0section<\/p><\/div>\n

When the Admin Server starts up it automatically makes a backup of \u00a0DOMAIN_HOME\/config directory and stores it in DOMAIN_HOME\/config-original.jar(original configuration file while restarting the server) and once the start up \u00a0completed(booted) successfully it makes a backup of\u00a0DOMAIN_HOME\/config directory and stores it in DOMAIN_HOME\/config-booted.jar(the config file on which the server is booted successfully)\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Most of the cases both of the file contents will be same. If the server fails to boot successfully the config-booted.jar will not be generated and the old config-booted.jar file will be left as it is.<\/p><\/div>\n

Also whenever the domain configuration is modified, the admin server archive the previous configurations to the DOMAN_HOME\\configArchive folder.The files use the naming convention as config-number.jar, where number is the sequential number of the archive.After it reaches the maximum number of archive files specified in the configuration(ArchiveConfigurationCount – 5), older archive files will be discarded<\/div>\n
