Deploys MFT Credentials, MFT artifacts (a transfer, source, targets and other supporting files) and user property files. MFT credentials are supported since FlexDeploy 5.0.0.1.

The MFT plugin requires Partial Deploy projects. Do not use the MFT plugin in a full deploy project.

The deployment ordering is automated. Credentials are deployed first, then transfers, then sources, then targets.

MFT Credentials are the aliases to passwords that are used in config plans. They link those aliases to a property in FlexDeploy. The password is stored securely in that property and is updated there. Changing the password on an existing environment requires either a new build or a force deploy. The password is not in the build artifact, but a new build will indicate to FlexDeploy that the password was changed. Config plans cannot make use of plain text passwords in them. Only credential aliases are allowed.

User Properties allow user home directories and user permissions to be deployed through the environments and guarantee consistency of environments in the process. The property file is explained in object type section.

Environment/Instance Properties

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description
MFT FTP Root Directory	FDMFT_FTP_ROOT	*	MFT FTP root directory path. This property is used when deploying user properties. *Required when the Create User Directory Project property is set to true. e.g. /u01/oracle/products/fmw/wlserver/user_projects/domains/base_domain/mft/ftp_root
MFT Server Host	FDMFT_SERVER_HOST	Yes	The host name for MFT (e.g. `mftdev.company.com`).
MFT Server Port	FDMFT_SERVER_PORT	Yes	The managed server port number for MFT.(e.g. `8001`). The Server port will be used when creating the t3 or t3s connection to the server host. This property works in conjunction with the Use SSL flag.
MFT Use SSL	`FDMFT_USE_SSL`	No	If checked, t3s will be used to connect to the MFT server. Otherwise a t3 connection will be used instead. The Server port will be used either way, so if you check use SSL, specify the SSL port there.
Weblogic Admin Password	FDWLS_ADMIN_PASSWORD	Yes	The password for the WLS admin server.
Weblogic Admin User	FDWLS_ADMIN_USER	Yes	The user name for the WLS admin server.
Oracle Middleware Home (MW_HOME)	FD_ORACLE_MW_HOME	Yes	The oracle middleware home (which has subfolders such as `oracle_common, wlserver, coherence*`, etc.) (e.g. `/u01/oracle/products/fmw`).

Project Properties

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description
Create User Directory	FDMFT_CREATE_USER_DIR	No	A boolean indicating whether the plugin should create the home directory in the FTP Root folder. This property is used when deploying user properties.

Inputs
