Configure FlexDeploy Managed Server

• Login into the WebLogic Administration Console
  • http://<adminserver host>/:<adminserver port>/console
• Create a WebLogic Cluster and Managed Server for installation of the FlexDeploy EAR file. You can skip this step if you already created the server using the provided scripts WebLogic 12.1.3 Installation Scripts, which would have created managed server.
  

  For the purpose of these instruction let's assume you named the cluster FlexDeploy_Cluster, and the managed server FlexDeploy_Server1. You can name the cluster and managed server as you please but the preceding names will be referenced in the remainder of this section.

  Info
  Make sure to apply JRF Template on WebLogic Managed Server (FlexDeploy_Server1). FlexDeploy must be installed on only one Managed Server, so do not create more than one Managed Server.

  Lock console for Edit if necessary.

• Click on the FlexDeploy_Server1 server.

• From the Configuration tab, and the Server Start sub-tab, enter the following values in the Arguments section as per Operating System.

• Make sure to Click Save and Activate Changes.

DataSource

• Login into the WebLogic Administration Console
  • http://<adminserver host>:<adminserver port>/console
• Lock console for Edit if necessary.
• Go to Services(left pane) - Data Sources - New (Generic Data Source for on-premise and GridLink Data Source for Cloud Based)
• Set following values, then click Next
  • Name: flexdb
  • JNDI Name: jdbc/flexdbDS
  • Database Type: Oracle
• Select Database Driver per the platform installation:
  • for on-premise use Oracle's Driver (Thin) for Instance Connections: Versions Any, then click Next.
  • for Cloud based use Oracle's Driver (Thin) for GridLink Connections: Versions Any, then click Next.
  • Do not use XA DataSource for this purpose.
• Leave transaction information as default, then click Next.
• Set following values, then click Next.
  • for on premise use:
    • Database Name: ORCL, XE or custom database name
    • Host Name: IP address or DNS name of database server
  • for Cloud Based use:
    • Complete JDBC URL: The connect descriptor from the Database Cloud Service instance attached to your Java Cloud Service instance
  • Database User Name: fd_admin
  • Password: <password for fd_admin> (password was setup when running Database schema setup in previous step)
• Test the configuration, then click Next.
• Select the cluster to associate the data source to (FlexDeploy_Cluster), then click Finish.
• Adjust the Maximum Capacity of the data source
  • Click on the newly created data source under Services - Data Sources
  • Click on flexdb
  • Click on Configuration tab, and then Connection Pool sub-tab
  • Change Maximum Capacity to 100.

Setup Logger Configurations

...

• From the extracted zip directory, navigate to the WebLogic/logger directory and locate these files:
  • FDWLSLogHandler.jar
  • logging.xml
• Copy the FDWLSLogHandler.jar to the lib sub-directory of the domain.
• Copy the logging.xml file to the config/fmwconfig/servers/FlexDeploy_Server1 subdirectory of the WebLogic domain. This step must be performed on the admin server domain if the WebLogic installation followed the Enterprise Deployment Guide (EDG).

Setup Additional Libraries

• If using IBM ClearCase, you will need to copy some jar files from your ClearCase server or ClearTeam Explorer installation into <DOMAIN_HOME>/lib

  • Copy all jar files found in the com.ibm.rational.teamapi_8.0.1.vxxx folder of your ClearCase server or ClearTeam Explorer installation to <DOMAIN_HOME>/lib folder. (commons-codec-1.3.jar, commons-lang-2.3.jar, icu4j-4_8.jar, remote_core.jar, stpclientws.jar, stpcq.jar, teamapiextensions.jar, unicodetypemgr.jar, commons-httpclient-3.0.jar, commons-logging-1.0.4.jar, icu4j-charset-4_8.jar, stpcc.jar, stpcmmn.jar, stpwvcm.jar, ucleardiffmerge.jar)
  Recycle FlexDeploy_Server1.

EAR Installation

From the extracted zip directory navigate to the WebLogic sub-directory, locate the EAR file, and follow these instructions to install the EAR.
