need clarification on managed servers startup

[satish]

Dear Erman,

Thanks for your support.

Would like to know the difference between starting a managed server from admin console and starting it from startManagedWebLogic script

Thanks,

I know that console uses nodemanager to start the managed servers,how ever i would like to know why many guys ask to start managed server from console when it is not starting from script

Here is an info for you..
You need to read my book for further info about this:

admanagedsrvctl.sh executes adProvisionEBS.pl, which in turn executes oracle.apps.ad.tools.configuration.EBSProvisioner with the ebs-nmstart-managedsrv method call,
which reads the context file for building the Java and WebLogic-related command-line arguments and starts
the Managed Server via the Node Manager. admanagedsrvctl.sh does lots of validations and checking before starting the managed server as well..
In conclusion, when the EBS 12.2 environment is stable (that is
when there are no updates done in the context files or any EBS FMW-related code files since the last start of
the WebLogic Managed Servers), WebLogic Administration Console can also be used for managing (stopping,
starting, and so on) EBS 12.2 Managed Servers.
But Oracle recommends using the AD scripts for managing the FMW components on EBS 12.2.

Okay thats really a useful info.But when i start the managed server from console,i could see boot.properties created under below folder

[appluat@erpuatapp01 nodemanager]$ pwd
/u01/UATAPPS/fs2/FMW_Home/user_projects/domains/EBS_domain_UATDB/servers/oacore_server3/data/nodemanager

When i started using admanagedsrvctl,it does not create any file under that folder,what is the difference

Because while starting admanagedsrvctl.sh, you supply the weblogic admin password. So, boot.properties is not so related with that.  So it gets the password from you.. not from the boot.properties.
