When you start the Node Manager configuration during domain creation by using the
Configuration Wizard, the default Node Manager Type is “Per Domain.” The default location of
Node Manager Home is the
nodemanager
directory under the domain directory. The
nodemanager.properties
file is created and placed under that directory, and the values
for the
ListenAddress
and
ListenPort
properties are set for you. If you set them yourself
or change the values, ensure that they match the values set in the machine configuration.
