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.

Inputs

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description
Properties File Path	FILE_PATH_TO_PROPERTIES	No	Comma-separated list of paths to the properties file(s). If relative paths are given, they are assumed relative to the `FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR` directory. If this property is not specified, all properties files in the `FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR` directory will be processed.

Outputs

Output Name	Required	Description
FDWLS_OUT_IS_RESTART_REQUIRED	No	A `boolean` value that indicates whether the server needs to be restarted to finish applying the configuration changes. You could use this in a workflow condition.

Artifacts

This operation consumes properties-file artifacts.

Endpoint Selection

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the 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 type.

Special Considerations

If FILE_PATH_TO_PROPERTIES 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 modifications. As with all files in the endpoint working directory, these files will be saved for 3 days before being deleted.

It is important to set up the properties files like the examples below.

Example Folder Structure

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

Example Property File

This sample file defines two simple data sources with a sub-set of the available properties.

 DSList=DS1,DS2 
 DS1.DataSourceType=Generic
 DS1.URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe
 DS1.ConnectionClass=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
 DS1.DSName=DS1
 DS1.User=${{FLX_DB_USER_FDADMIN}}
 DS1.Targets=MS1
 DS1.JNDINames=jdbc/DS1
 DS1.Password=${{FLX_DB_PASSWORD_FDADMIN}}
 DS1.MinCapacity=0
 DS2.DataSourceType=Generic
 DS2.URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe
 DS2.ConnectionClass=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
 DS2.DSName=DS2
 DS2.User=${{FLX_DB_USER_FDADMIN}}
 DS2.Targets=MS1
 DS2.JNDINames=jdbc/DS2
 DS2.Password=${{FLX_DB_PASSWORD_FDADMIN}}
 DS2.MinCapacity=0

Example Gridlink Datasource Property File

This sample file defines a GridLink datasource with a sub-set of the available properties. It could be combined with other datasources in one file, but is separate here for clarity.

DSList=gridlinkDS1

gridlinkDS1.DataSourceType=GridLink
gridlinkDS1.ConnectionClass=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
gridlinkDS1.DSName=testName1
gridlinkDS1.Targets=AdminServer
gridlinkDS1.JNDINames=test/karl1
gridlinkDS1.TestConnectionsOnReserve=true
gridlinkDS1.URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=databaseserverhostname)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=fmt01)))
gridlinkDS1.DatabaseName=fmt01
gridlinkDS1.User=system
gridlinkDS1.Password=************
gridlinkDS1.InitialCapacity=15
gridlinkDS1.MaxCapacity=50

Properties File Format

Multiple data sources can be defined in the properties file. The properties file 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. See the Appendix for more information about property replacement.

Required Properties

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

Property Name	Description
DataSourceType	Generic or GridLink (GridLink is supported on WebLogic 12c+ only)
URL	The full JDBC connection URL
ConnectionClass	The JDBC driver
DSName	The display name of the Data Source
User	Database user name
Password	Database Password
JNDINames	Comma-separated list of JNDI names. (e.g. /jdbc/name1,/jdbc/name2)

Optional Properties

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.
