Pack and Unpack commands on Weblogic.

Pack and unpack commands are used to create domins and templates from command line

These shell scripts are available in$MW_HOME/wlserver_[ver]/common/bin

 1)  Run pack.sh to bundle domain and templates from Machine1 (This will create jar file)
 2)  Copy jar file (created by using pack.sh command) from Machine1 to Machine2
 3) Use unpack.sh to create domain & managed server on Machine2

This will provide a similar identical domain in Machine2.
