soaStart

Provides the ability to start a composite(s) on the SOA server.  This operation will handle all revisions for a given composite to ensure that the default revision doesn't change as revisions are started.  The default revision is always started, other revisions can be controlled by an "Start All Revisions" input.

Artifacts

This operation doesn't consume or produce any artifacts.


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

This operation has two independent capabilities:

  • starting multiple composites/revisions
    • utilizes "Composites Files" or "Composite Name List" and "Start All Revisions" inputs
      • if utilizing "Composite Files", there can be several variations of file name;
        1. just a file name, will look in the temp directory for the given file name
        2. relative path, will only look for the relative path within the temp directory for the given file name
        3. absolute path, will only look at the absolute path for the given file
    • either input provides a list of composite names that must use the following format: <partition:>composite1,composite2 (partition is optional)
    • the default revision is started first and then all non-default revisions will be started if the "Start All Revisions" input is checked.  This will hold the default revision and not allow SOA Suite to move it.  If a composite is in two partitions, then specify the partition in the above format to direct the operation to the correct composite.
  • starting a single revision (this is the backwards compatibility capability)
    • utilizes "Composite Revision" and "Make Default Revision" inputs to control what revision to start and whether it should be the default revision
