Restarts a comma-separated list of WebLogic servers or clusters. If admin server restart is desired, configure node manager (NODEMANAGER) related properties on Target. This operation supports rolling restart to make sure applications continue to be available to users during the restart operation.
If admin server and/or WSM servers are included in list of WebLogic servers or clusters, they are processed first. The order of restarts is
Admin server (if included in input)
WSM servers (WLS_WSM1, WLS_WSM2 etc. if included in input), then
the other clusters and servers.
This order is managed as various Fusion Middleware products are dependent on WSM servers.
If FDWLS_INP_USE_ROLLING_MODEis checked, some percentage of servers are restarted individually to make sure that application is available during restart. You can indicate FDWLS_INP_MAX_PERCENT_SIMULTANEOUSto control percentage of cluster members to restart simultaneously. This value will default to 20 percent. Cluster members for restart are selected using its machine name such that all servers on specific machine are eligible first for restart. Basically, list or servers within cluster are sorted by machine name and percentage is applied on that list. Maximum percentage allowed for rolling mode is 50, if higher value is specified only 50 will be used. This approach is taken here as session for cluster will be replicated across physical nodes by default.
If FDWLS_INP_USE_ROLLING_MODE is not checked, the selected servers and clusters will all be stopped together and then started. The FDWLS_INP_MAX_PERCENT_SIMULTANEOUSinput will NOT be used in this scenario.

Artifacts
This operation doesn't consume or produce any artifacts.
Endpoint Selection
This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the Target which have a resource type of WLS Admin Server. Since the admin server only runs on one server, it is expected that for a given domain, there will only be one endpoint with a resource type set to WLS Admin Server.
Endpoint Execution
This operation will execute on the Admin Server endpoint selected using the WLS Admin Server resource type.
