# Configure domain partition general settings

Note: WebLogic Server Multitenant domain partitions, resource groups, resource group templates, and virtual targets are deprecated in WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0. The related Console and help pages will be removed in the next release.

To configure a domain partition:

Note: This topic focuses on the management tasks you perform on the domain partition itself, and not on the associated resource groups.

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the left pane of the Console, select Domain Partitions.

   The Domain Partitions table displays all of the partitions defined in the domain.

3. Select the domain partition you want to configure.
4. Select the Domain Partition Configuration -> General page.
5. View and change the default virtual target for this domain partition. (If changing the default target results in the removal of a target, shut down the partition first.) The default targets are applied for any resource group that does not specify a target. See Configuring Virtual Targets for more information.
6. View and change the security realm for this partition. The security realm can be unique to this partition, or shared by multiple partitions. See Configuring Security for more information.
7. View and change the primary identity domain for this partition. The primary identity domain is used as the default identity domain when authenticating partition users and for determining ownership of partition resources. See Configuring Security for more information.
8. View and change the resource deployment plan path for this partition, if any.
9. View and change the default data source JNDI name for this partition, if any.
10. Optionally, configure the Job Scheduler for this partition:
    1. View and change the Job Scheduler data source for this partition from the drop-down menu, if any. The data source is required to support the persistence of jobs scheduled with the Job Scheduler.
    2. View and change the Job Scheduler table name for this partition. The table name is used for storing timers active with the Job Scheduler. The default is WEBLOGIC_TIMERS.
11. Optionally, configure the Batch runtime for this partition:
    1. View and change the application-scoped ManagedExecutorService for this partition from the drop-down menu, if any. This ManagedExecutorService instance is used to run Batch jobs that are submitted from applications deployed to the partition. A ManagedExecutorServiceTemplate by the same name must exit when a batch job is submitted in the partition. Otherwise, the Batch runtime uses the default Java EE ManagedExecutorService.
    2. View and change the Data Source JNDI name for the Batch runtime in this partition from the drop-down menu, if any. This data source JNDI name is used to look up the data source that you want to use to store Batch job data for applications deployed to the partition.
12. Click Save.
13. Restart the partition if notified to do so.
14. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
    Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).

After you finish

You perform most of the configuration required for a partition when you configure the resource group or resource group overrides. The tasks include configuring JDBC system data sources, JMS servers and resources, and foreign JNDI providers, and so forth.

If you did not create the resource group from a resource group template, edit the resource group as needed. See Configuring Resource Groups for additional information.

If you did create the resource group from a resource group template, see Configuring Resource Overrides for additional information.
