Performs environment specific property replacement, determines next composite revision and deploys the SCA artifact or the patch artifact (12.2.1+ only) to the server or cluster. Choose any managed server to deploy the composite to all managed servers in the cluster.
Environment/Instance Properties
| Property Name | Property Code | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOA Server Host |
| Yes | Host name of the SOA managed server. |
| SOA Server Port |
| Yes | Port number of the SOA managed server. |
| Weblogic Admin User |
| Yes | Admin user name for WebLogic server. |
| Weblogic Admin Password |
| Yes | Weblogic Admin User password for WebLogic server. |
| MDS UserID |
| Yes | User name for MDS access. |
| MDS Password |
| Yes | Password for MDS UserID. |
| MDS JDBC URL |
| Yes | Database URL for MDS access. |
| Oracle SOA Home |
| Yes | Oracle SOA Home, indicates where SOA Suite is installed. |
| SOA Extend Classpath |
| No | Ability to extend the plugin classpath for external java classes or custom xpath functions |
| SOA Deploy Config Plan |
| No | Ability to define config plan specific to a composite (see special considerations). |
Project Properties
| Property Name | Property Code | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOA Composite Name |
| Yes | Name of composite that is being deployed. |
| SOA Partition |
| Yes | Name of the partition to hold the composite on the server. |
| SOA Overwrite Revision |
| Yes | Flag to indicate if the composite revision on the server should be overwritten or a new revision created (see special considerations). |
| SOA Make Default Revision |
| Yes | Flag to indicate if the deployed composite should be marked as the default revision. |
Inputs
| Input Name | Input Code | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deploy Config Plan |
| No | Deployment config plan that is to be used for the composite. Takes a Wildcard expression or filename. Can be a relative or absolute path (see special considerations). |
| Composite Revision |
| No | Provide the composite revision, this input will override the SOA Overwrite Revision project property (see special considerations). |
Outputs
Output Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | Revision of the composite for this deployment. |
| Yes | Revision of the composite for the previous default revision. |
Artifacts
This operation consumes an SCA composite jar from the artifacts repository.
Endpoint Selection
This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the environment/instance.
Endpoint Execution
This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one.
Special Considerations
Utilize the SOA Extend Classpath environment variable to extend the plugin classpath to allow the compile to succeed with custom java classes or xpath functions.
NOTE: when patching a long running process revision that isn't the default revision, the patching process will make the patched revision the default revision.
Composite Revisions
The revision for a composite is calculated unless either Composite Revision (plugin input) is used or SOA Overwrite Revision (project property) is checked. The input will override all revision logic and use the value that is passed in. If the input is empty and the project property is unchecked, then the plugin will determine the largest revision on the server and increment the revision before deploying. The revision format is N.nn[.nn][.nn] with an initial value of 1.0, with
N – initial segment that will increment with no limitation
nn – 0 through 99, when segment hits 100 it rolls to the next higher segment
| Current revision | Next revision |
|---|---|
| 1.0 | 1.01 |
| 1.99 | 2.00 |
| 1.0.0 | 1.0.01 |
| 1.0.99 | 1.01.00 |
