Create a SOA Cloud Service instance, along with its Load Balancer if desired. Property Replacement is performed on the property file. See Property Replacement Support for more information about property replacement..

See the 6310888431 below for information about formatting the properties file.

Environment/Instance Properties

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description

Project Properties

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description

Inputs

Input Name	Input Code	Required	Description
Identity Domain	`FDSOA_CLOUD_IDENTITY_DOMAIN`	Yes	The SOA Cloud Identity Domain
URL Prefix	`FDSOA_CLOUD_URL_PREFIX`	No	The region prefix of the SOA Cloud REST resources. Defaults to "`jaas"`.
Instance Name	`FDSOA_CLOUD_INSTANCE_NAME`	Yes	The name of the SOA Cloud Service instance.
Username	`FDSOA_CLOUD_USERNAME`	Yes	The username with which to connect to the SOA Cloud Service instance.

Outputs

Output Name	Required	Description

Artifacts

This operation consumes a property file artifact.

Endpoint Selection

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the Environment/Instance.

Endpoint Execution

This operation will randomly execute on one of the endpoints identified during selection.

Special Considerations

The properties file is closely based on the Oracle REST Services. If you need more information than is found in this guide, please see the Oracle documentation.

If you receive a 500 error when creating an instance, check if your database instance is up and you have the correct name and password.

Property Name	Required	Description
weblogic.adminUserName	Yes	The admin user name for the Weblogic Servers
weblogic.adminPassword	Yes	The password for weblogic.adminUserName
weblogic.dbServiceName	Yes	The Service name of the database for the Weblogic instances
weblogic.dbaName	Yes	A database username which has sysdba rights
weblogic.dbaPassword	Yes	The password for weblogic.dbaName
weblogic.shape	Yes	The shape of the SOA server to create. Current choices are OC1M,OC2M,OC3M,OC4M,OC5M
weblogic.VMsPublicKey	Yes	The public key for the VM. This should be a String starting with "ssh-rsa".
provisionOTD	No	Whether a load balancer should be provisioned for this instance (true / false). Defaults to false.
topology	Yes	osb - Oracle Service Bus Topology. soa - Service Oriented Architecture. soaosb - Both OSB and SOA Topology. apim - API Manager Topology. b2b – Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle B2B, and adapters mft - Oracle Managed File Transfer
subscriptionType	No	HOURLY / MONTHLY Currently, Oracle only allows MONTHLY for this value. Please verify with Oracle Support that your billing will be as expected.
cloudStorageContainer	No	The storage container e.g. SOAContainer1. Defaults to FDSOA_CLOUD_INSTANCE_NAME + "BK". The container is automatically created if it doesn't already exist in the Storage Cloud.
cloudStorageUser	No	The username with which to connect to the Storage Cloud Service instance, if different from FDSOA_CLOUD_USERNAME
cloudStoragePassword	No	The password for cloudStorageUser if different from FDSOA_CLOUD_PASSWORD

If provisionOTD is set to true, this field is required:

Property Name	Required	Description
otd.shape	Yes	The shape of the OTD instance. Current choices are [oc3,oc4,oc5,oc6,oc7,oc1m, oc2m,oc3m,oc4m,oc5m]

This plugin is designed to accommodate changes in Oracle's REST API. It will pass all properties that don't start with weblogic. or otd. as top-level data in the JSON request, and pass each prefixed data as data inside of parameters as the type of the prefix. Any properties that Oracle supports can be used even if not listed in the tables above. If there is a validation error, the data from Oracle is excellent for providing the solution.

Here is an example error message from leaving a field blank:

flexagon.ff.common.core.exceptions.FlexCheckedException: FDSOACloud-00051: Unexpected status code 400 - Bad Request - SOA-PROVISIONING-13: validation error - field "type": "OTD" - shape - value is required.

This means that you need to send in otd.shape={value}

If you set it to an invalid value, you will receive an error like this:

flexagon.ff.common.core.exceptions.FlexCheckedException: FDSOACloud-00051: Unexpected status code 400 - Bad Request - SOA-PROVISIONING-14: validation error - field "type": "OTD" - shape - entered value thjklas is invalid, please set one of the values - OC3/OC4/OC5/OC6/OC7/OC1M/OC2M/OC3M/OC4M/OC5M

In this error, "OTD" – shape means that otd.shape had an invalid value, and lists possible correct values.
