createBaseline

Creates a baseline of the given schema name.

A file artifact is created which references a set of DDL in the DDL Repository. This file is then used by the synchronize operation to update the DDL of a target database to the version specified by the build operation's Revert to Baseline ID value.

Specifying a previous Revert to Baseline ID value will create an artifact that when deployed will bring the target database DDL to that baseline.

Leaving   Revert to Baseline ID blank will create an artifact that when deployed will bring the target database DDL to the current DDL of the Source Database.

Revert to Baseline ID supports Full Deployments, not Partial Deployments.

Required

Description

Yes

The JDBC URL for the target Oracle database.

This should be a complete JDBC URL (e.g. jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe)

NOTE*** If the project property FDORA_SCHEMA_NAME is not set, then this becomes

the schema that is baselined.

Target JDBC Driver Path.FDORA_DRIVER_PATHYesPath containing JDBC driver for target database connection.
DDL Repo JDBC Driver PathFDORA_DDL_DRIVER_PATHYesPath containing JDBC driver for DDL repository database connection.
DDL Repository URLFDORA_DDL_URLYes

The JDBC URL for the DDL repository.

This should be a complete JDBC URL (e.g. jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe)

Required

Description

Oracle Database Schema Name(s)FDORA_SCHEMA_NAME

Yes

Comma-separated list of schemas controlled by this project.

Leave this parameter blank if you want to have schema name different across environments.  The plugin will then use the FDORA_USER environment instance parameter as the schema name for the baseline.

Oracle Object TypesFDORA_OBJECT_TYPESYes

The Oracle object types which are being managed in partial deployment projects.

By default all object types are selected.

This could be used in combination with security options so that certain user groups are unable to build and deploy tables or other objects.

Artifacts

This operation produces artifacts that will be stored in the artifacts repository. This artifact is an empty file whose name is used to select a revision from the DDL 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

For renames, the old_owner must be the same as the new_owner.


For user defined type objects, special consideration should be given to implementing the force option on the type.  In a scenario where a type is dependent on another type, there are scenarios where creating the child type with the force will make the deployment to future environments easier.

Example:

In this case, the type XX_WS_INPUT_T is a child of the type XX_WS_INPUT_TBL.  By creating it with the force in the build database, the plugin will automatically carry that option forward:

create or replace TYPE XX_WS_INPUT_T FORCE AS OBJECT (
TABLE_NAME VARCHAR2( 30 )
,COLUMN_NAME VARCHAR2( 30 )
,IN_VALUE VARCHAR2( 250 )
);

create or replace TYPE XX_WS_INPUT_TBL AS TABLE OF XX_WS_INPUT_T;


Future changes to the XX_WS_INPUT_T type (like adding a column) will then flow through the plugin without issue because it will be recreated using the force option.  Without the force option, the plugin would fail with the error message:

ORA-02303: cannot drop or replace a type with type or table dependents


Please note, the use of the force option will cause the parent type and any dependent type will be invalid and will require a recompile.  This can complete in FlexDeploy by using the compile_invalid plugin operation in the workflow.

For types that are used within physical CREATE TABLE definitions, the use of the FORCE option is NOT recommended.  It should only be used in scenario where the type is used within PL/SQL code.
