Like the Administration Console, for most commands this utility assumes the role of client that invokes administrative operations on the Administration Server, which is the central management point for all servers in a domain. (All Managed Servers retrieve configuration data from the Administration Server, and the Administration Server can access runtime data from all Managed Servers.)
While the Administration Console interacts only with the Administration Server, the weblogic.Admin utility can access the Administration Server as well as all active server instances directly.
If the Administration Server is down, you can still use the weblogic.Admin utility to retrieve runtime information from Managed Servers and invoke some administrative commands.
However, you can save configuration changes to the domain's config.xml file only when you access the Administration Server.
To use the weblogic.Admin utility, firstly set the environments,
[sami@ed-olfmwlin1 ~]$ . /u01/fmwtrainingapp/mw/wlserver_10.3/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh
CLASSPATH=/u01/fmwtrainingapp/mw/patch_wls1036/profiles/default/sys_manifest_classpath/weblogic_patch.jar:/u01/fmwtrainingapp/mw/patch_ocp371/profiles/default/sys_manifest_classpath/weblogic_patch.jar:/u01/fmwtrainingapp/jdk1.6.0_45/lib/tools.jar:/u01/fmwtrainingapp/mw/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic_sp.jar:/u01/fmwtrainingapp/mw/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic.jar:/u01/fmwtrainingapp/mw/modules/features/weblogic.server.modules_10.3.6.0.jar:/u01/fmwtrainingapp/mw/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/webservices.jar:/u01/fmwtrainingapp/mw/modules/org.apache.ant_1.7.1/lib/ant-all.jar:/u01/fmwtrainingapp/mw/modules/net.sf.antcontrib_1.1.0.0_1-0b2/lib/ant-contrib.jar:
