Objective
You have a given WebLogic Resource properties file stored in a Git repository. This properties file will define several data sources we want to deploy to a WebLogic server. The WebLogic servers we will be using in this tutorial are running Oracle SOA Suite, but this tutorial can be used for all WebLogic servers, regardless of installed technology. The goal of the tutorial is to automate the deployment of the configuration across multiple environments. This automation will include:
...
Checklist | Description |
|---|---|
WebLogic Admin User | Admin user name for WebLogic server. |
WebLogic Admin Password | Weblogic Admin User password for WebLogic server. |
Oracle WebLogic Home (WL_HOME) | WebLogic Home Directory. (e.g. /u01/oracle/products/fmw/wlserver) |
WebLogic Domain Name | WebLogic Domain Name. |
WebLogic Admin Listener Address | The listener address of the WLS admin server. (e.g. localhost) |
WebLogic Application Name | The name of the application (EAR or WAR) to be deployed. |
WebLogic Server or Cluster Name(s) | WebLogic Server or Cluster name to deploy application. |
WebLogic Domain Directory | Weblogic Domain Directory.(e.g. /u01/oracle/config/domains/soa_domain) |
WebLogic Node Manager Host | The host for Node Manager connection. |
WebLogic Node Manager Port | The port for the WLS Node Manager. |
WebLogic Node Manager User | The user id for the WLS Node Manager. |
WebLogic Node Manager Password | The password for the user id of WLS Node Manager. |
Hostname for WebLogic Admin Server | The hostname for WebLogic Admin Server |
User Id which runs Admins Server (e.g. Oracle) | FlexDeploy will connect to target server using this user. |
Password for user Id | |
JDK Home for Admins Server Node | Recommended JDK used by Oracle WebLogic. |
Base Directory (working directory with at least 4GB space) | Minimum of 4GB space on each WebLogic node. Avoid /tmp and /var/tmp as Linux processes may clean up files automatically and conflict with FlexDeploy. |

You have a given WebLogic Resource properties file stored in a Git repository. This properties file will define several data sources we want to deploy to a WebLogic server. The WebLogic servers we will be using in this tutorial are running Oracle SOA Suite, but this tutorial can be used for all WebLogic servers, regardless of installed technology. The goal of the tutorial is to automate the deployment of the configuration across multiple environments. This automation will include:
Cloning the properties from a Git repository
Deploying the configuration to multiple environments
Utilizing property replacement to adjust environment-specific passwords as deployments progress through the environments
We will walk through each of the FlexDeploy features that will be created/configured to accomplish this goal and have the resources deployed in a very short amount of time.
The tutorial does not cover every feature or configuration option available in FlexDeploy.

Now the properties artifacts can be deployed to an environment by selecting the icon as shown in the below screenshot.
The Deploy Request Form will appear and we need to:
