Quick Tip: WebLogic NodeManager Fails To Start As Windows Service

If your Oracle WebLogic NodeManager starts without issue when using startNodeManager.cmd but when configuring the WebLogic NodeManager as a Windows Service, it fails to start. The nodemanager.log file has the following entry:

Native version is enabled but NodeManager native library could not be loaded

The solution is to:

1. Delete the current Node Manager Windows Service
   C:\sc delete "NODE_MANAGER_WINDOWS_SERVICE_NAME"
2. modify the installNodeMgrSvc.cmd and add the highlighted portion:
   set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% -Dweblogic.RootDirectory=%DOMAIN_HOME% -Djava.library.path=%WL_HOME%\server\native\win\x64
3. Run the installNodeMgrSvc.cmd as Administrator

I hope this helps you when having issues trying to get the Oracle WebLogic Node Manager to start as a Windows Service.
