I use a Weblogic 10.3.6 Server on which I have numerous Enterprise Applications, Web Applications and Libraries deployed. A few days ago, after a deployment glitch, the Console's deployment view does not show applications anymore. Only libraries are listed.
Does anyone know where I can start looking to fix the problem? How are enterprise and web applications found by the server to be displayed?
Edit 1: Applications are in fact running, accessible and listed under the /Environment/Server//Deployments tab. From there I cannot update/start/stop them, however. They are missing only in the /Deployments view.
config/config.xml seems to be correct. All applications are listed there.
Okay, that fixed it.
The Admin Server had an application called wls-cat.war installed, which failed upon server start. Apparently, it is Oracle's Classloader Analysis Tool which may come in useful in debugging. Not in this case, though. It failed on Admin Server startup. You cannot start, stop, deploy, undeploy or redeploy it with the standard means (it is an internal application).
In the end, I shut down the server and manually removed it from the /config/config.xml file.
<app-deployment>
<name>wls-cat</name>
<target>SBV00PG9_PERM01_ADMIN_SPU_PORTAL</target>
<module-type>war</module-type>
<source-path>${WL_HOME}/server/lib/wls-cat.war</source-path>
<security-dd-model>DDOnly</security-dd-model>
<cache-in-app-directory>false</cache-in-app-directory>
</app-deployment>
After that, the server shows applications again. I may need to reinstall the app at a later time, but for now the server seems to run well without it.
Very special thanks to Emmanuel Collin for setting me on the right path.
