Disable 8dot3

Disable 8dot3 naming, what is requested during UCM install procedure, by running "Installer DisableNtfs8dot3" and then restarting windows. This procedure can be run after UCM installation is done.

Run: DomainHome\ucm\cs\bin\Installer.exe DisableNtfs8dot3
Page 153: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e14495.pdf

If that still leaves 8dot3 naming enabled, modify registry:
1. Start/Run/regedit
2. In the left pane of the window navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
3. In the right pane of the window, edit the DWORD "NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation" and set its value to 1 (The default value is 2)
4. Reboot the system

Domain Location: C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\custom_domain

Solution:

To solve this we need to patch the jython-modules.jar. For default JDeveloper installation path we need to go to C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\common\wlst\modules and extract the jython-modules.jar using a utility like 7-zip. Then we need to open the javashell.py python script inside lib folder and add at line 139 a String for Windows 8 OS:

_osTypeMap = (
        ( "nt", ( 'nt', 'Windows NT', 'Windows NT 4.0', 'WindowsNT',
                  'Windows 2000', 'Windows 2003', 'Windows XP', 'Windows CE',
                  'Windows Vista', 'Windows Server 2008', 'Windows 7', 'Windows 8' )),
        ( "dos", ( 'dos', 'Windows 95', 'Windows 98', 'Windows ME' )),
        ( "mac", ( 'mac', 'MacOS', 'Darwin' )),
        ( "None", ( 'None', )),
        )

Remove Domain from Weblogic Server

As of now there is no out of the box feature with Weblogic Configuration wizard to remove or delete a domain.

These are basically manual steps.
For example if I want to delete a domain named geo_domain below are the steps you need to remove the domain.

1. Open domain-registry.xml under $Middleware_HOME .Remove the corresponding entry referring to geo_domain.
CodeSnippet :: domain-registry.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<domain-registry xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/domain-registry">
<domain location="C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\soa_domain"/>
<domain location="C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\geo_domain"/>
</domain-registry>

2. Open nodemanager.domains file under $Middleware_HOME \wlserver_10.3\common\nodemanager\ folder. Remove the corresponding entry referring to geo_domain.
CodeSnippet :: nodemanager.domains
#Domains and directories created by Configuration Wizard
geo_domain=C\:\\Oracle\\Middleware\\user_projects\\domains\\geo_domain

3. Delete the domain folder under domains folder manually.
        $Middleware_HOME\user_projects\domains\geo_domain

4. Delete the domain folder under applications folder manually.
        $Middleware_HOME\user_projects\ applications\geo_domain
