StartWebLogic.cmd Shuts Down after Entering Username with the Error: "Server is running in Production Mode and Native Library (terminalio) to read the password securely from commandline is not found." (Doc ID 1354736.1

YMPTOMS After creating the WebLogic Domain for Contract Management, installing Contract Management and modifying the StartWebLogic.cmd and SetDomainENV.cmd file, the StartWebLogic.cmd file shuts down or closes after typing a username and pressing the ENTER key. The following error is listed in the StartWebLogic command prompt window prior to the shutdown completing: Server is running in Production Mode and Native Library (terminalio) to read the password securely from commandline is not found. CAUSE There are two possible causes: The terminalio.dll file is missing from the default location: C:\bea\middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\native\win\32 The terminalio.dll filing is being renamed to terminalio.dll.bak when the StartWeblogic.cmd file is started. This is a known issue that has been reported to Oracle in Bug 8002166. SOLUTION To resolve this issue, open the StartWebLogic.cmd file with Notepad and do the following: Located towards the bottom of the file are the following lines: if "%WLS_REDIRECT_LOG%"=="" ( echo Starting WLS with line: echo %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java %JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Djava.security.policy=%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy %JAVA_OPTIONS% %PROXY_SETTINGS% %SERVER_CLASS% %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java %JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Djava.security.policy=%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy %JAVA_OPTIONS% %PROXY_SETTINGS% %SERVER_CLASS% ) else ( echo Redirecting output from WLS window to %WLS_REDIRECT_LOG% %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java %JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Djava.security.policy=%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy %JAVA_OPTIONS% %PROXY_SETTINGS% %SERVER_CLASS% >"%WLS_REDIRECT_LOG%" 2>&1 ) Change them by including the following line directly before %JAVA_OPTIONS%: -Dweblogic.management.allowPasswordEcho=true The changed information should now appear as: if "%WLS_REDIRECT_LOG%"=="" ( echo Starting WLS with line: echo %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java %JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Djava.security.policy=%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy -Dweblogic.management.allowPasswordEcho=true %JAVA_OPTIONS% %PROXY_SETTINGS% %SERVER_CLASS% %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java %JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Djava.security.policy=%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy -Dweblogic.management.allowPasswordEcho=true %JAVA_OPTIONS% %PROXY_SETTINGS% %SERVER_CLASS% ) else ( echo Redirecting output from WLS window to %WLS_REDIRECT_LOG% %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java %JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Djava.security.policy=%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy -Dweblogic.management.allowPasswordEcho=true %JAVA_OPTIONS% %PROXY_SETTINGS% %SERVER_CLASS% >"%WLS_REDIRECT_LOG%" 2>&1 ) Be sure to leave a space before and after the line that was just added. Save the changes and then restart StartWebLogic.cmd.
