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. You must have built SCA artifact or the patch artifact (12.2.1+ only) as part of soaBuild operation prior to running deploy, i.e. soaBuild execution generates artifact file and is recorded in FlexDeploy as project version and then deployment is done using that project version to specific environments. Composite specific configuration plans (if present) are also stored in artifact repository along with SCA artifact jar file.

Composite revision purging is an optional feature that allows the developer to control the number of revisions actively deployed on the server upon successful deployment of the composite.

This operation should be run on any SOA managed server endpoint. 

Configure SOA Server Host and Port for any SOA managed server and after deployment composite will be available on all managed servers in the SOA cluster.

Project Properties

Property Name

Property Code

Required

Description

SOA Composite Name

FDSOA_COMPOSITE_NAME

Yes

Name of composite that is being deployed.

SOA Deploy Config Plan

FDSOA_DEPLOY_CFG_PLAN

No

Ability to define config plan specific to a composite. (see Configuration Plans section below).

When using composite specific configuration plans, they are stored in configPlans folder in artifacts, but you do not need to specify configPlans folder in this property value, just provide name of the configuration plan file as appropriate. You can also override this property for various environments to use different value for each environment. For example, mycomposite-cfgplan.xml

SOA Partition

FDSOA_PARTITION

Yes

Name of the partition to hold the composite on the server.

SOA Overwrite Revision

FDSOA_OVERWRITE_REVISION

Yes

Flag to indicate if the composite revision on the server should be overwritten or a new revision created (see Composite Revisions).

SOA Make Default Revision

FDSOA_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

FDSOA_INP_DEPLOY_CFG_PLAN

No

Deployment config plan that is to be used for the composite deployment. Takes a Wildcard expression or filename. Can be a relative or absolute path (see Configuration Plans section below).

Composite Revision

FDSOA_INP_REVISION

No

Provide the composite revision, this input will override the SOA Overwrite Revision project property (see Composite Revisions).

Stop On Purge FailureFDSOA_INP_STOP_ON_PURGE_FAILNoProvides the ability to control whether a failed purge stops the workflow (default is False)
Activate Purge On DeployFDSOA_INP_ACTIVATE_PURGENoActivates the composite revision purge on deploy feature (default is False)
Preview Mode For PurgeFDSOA_INP_PURGE_PREVIEWNoActivates the purge preview mode. If purge is activated, preview mode will show in the logs the composite revisions that would have been purged with no purge occurring.  (default is False) see Composite Revision Purge for examples

  

Outputs

Output Name

Required

Description

FDSOA_DEPLOYED_REVISION

Yes

Revision of the composite for this deployment.

FDSOA_LAST_DFLT_REVISION

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


Current revision

Next revision
1.01.01
1.992.00
