Creates or updates the data sources that are defined by properties files. The properties files will be processed for property replacement using ${{VARIABLE_NAME}} format. See Property Replacement Support for more information about property replacement.

If using multiple files, make sure that the lists contain unique values across files. Best practice would be to use the Weblogic Datasource WebLogic DataSource Name as the list identifier for datasources.

Artifacts

This operation consumes properties-file artifacts.

...

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the environment instance Environment/Instance 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 Server resource type.

Special Considerations

If FILE_PATH_TO_PROPERTIES is Properties File Path is not specified, the FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR folder will be used. If a relative path is specified, the path will be relative to the FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR directory.
WebLogic configuration files including Data Sources are backed up to FD_TEMP_DIR/configbackup before configbackup before modifications. As with all files in the endpoint working directory, these files will be saved for 3 days before being deleted.

...

• Properties file can be named as per your requirements. See Example Properties File below.
• datasources.properties – properties – This is the main properties file. The path to it is referenced by FILE_PATH_TO_PROPERTIESthe Properties File Path input.
• DEV/datasources.properties properties - optionally create a file here and override some properties with it per environment. The filename must match.
• PROD/datasources.properties properties - optionally have several environments.
  • Sub folder names for environment overrides must be FlexDeploy environment code.

Properties File Format

Multiple data sources can be defined in the properties files. The properties files must start with a list of data sources present in the format DSList=ds1,ds2,ds3. Change ds1, ds2, ds3 to names that make sense for your project. Any number of data sources is acceptable. The properties files will be processed for property replacement using ${{VARIABLE_NAME}} format format. See the Appendix for more information about property replacement.

...

At a minimum, each data source must contain these properties:

Required Properties for Multi Data Source DataSources

At a minimum, each data source must contain these properties:

Optional Properties for Generic and Gridlink DataSources

These properties are optional. If the property is unsupported by the version of WebLogic you are running, it will be ignored. If not specified in your properties file, the WebLogic 12c defaults shown below will apply. This is also true on updating databases, so it is important to include all the properties you use if modifying an existing environment. You may use as many or as few as you like per data source.

Optional Properties for GridLink DataSources

These properties are used only for GridLink DataSources. 

Optional Properties for Multi Data Source DataSources

These properties are used only for Multi Data Source DataSources.
