sideBySideDeploy
This operation is designed to allow for production redeployment (side by side deployment) to WebLogic servers. This operation deploys the application in versioned mode. Undeployment of all but one version is completed before the deployment commences. The Weblogic-Application-Version
 property is set in the manifest by the plugin. If you prefer to use your own Weblogic-Application-Version
 value, please create a workflow with the undeploy and deploy operations instead and set Weblogic Deployment Max # of Versions
 to 1 and Weblogic Versioned Deployment
 to true.
Deploys an EAR or WAR file to Partition, Resource Group, Resource Group Template or WebLogic Cluster/Server. You must have built archive files as part of build workflow execution prior to running deploy.
The following properties are used to specify the location to deploy.
FDWLS_SERVER_OR_CLUSTER_NAMES
FDWLS_PARTITION
,FDWLS_RESOURCE_GROUP
FDWLS_RESOURCE_GROUP_TEMPLATE
.
If all values are specified, they are used in the order listed above.
Prior to WebLogic 12.2.1, only FDWLS_SERVER_OR_CLUSTER_NAMES
 was used. Read about the deployment options of 12.2.1 at https://blogs.oracle.com/WebLogicServer/entry/domain_partitions_for_multi_tenancy.

Weblogic Domain Name |
| Yes | WebLogic Domain Name. |
Weblogic Admin Listen Address |
| Yes | The listener address of the WLS admin server. (e.g. localhost) |
Weblogic Admin Listen Port |
| Yes | The port of the WLS admin server. (e.g. 7001) |
Weblogic Admin SSL Connection |
| No | Indicates whether the admin server is using SSL. |
Weblogic Admin User |
| Yes | The username for the WLS admin server. |
Weblogic Admin Password |
| Yes | The password for |
Weblogic Application Install Directory |
| No | Base directory to install the WebLogic deployments from. Files will be copied here on Admin Server endpoint by WebLogic plugin prior to installation. For example: /oracle/middleware/product/user_projects/applications |
Weblogic Stage Mode |
| Yes | Staging mode for the application you are deploying. Valid values are stage, nostage, and external_stage. Recommended and default option is stage, in which case deployment archive files are only needed to be accessible by Admin Server and then Admin Server copies files to target managed server. |
Weblogic Deployment Timeout |
| No | Time in milliseconds that the plugin operation will wait for the server to respond. Plugin operation will return as soon as the server responds, but if the deploy doesn't complete before the timeout specified, the plugin operation will fail. The default value is 300000 milliseconds. |

Artifacts
This operation consumes an EAR or WAR file artifact from the artifacts repository.
Endpoint Selection
This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the Target which have a resource type of WLS Admin Server. Since the admin server only runs on one server, it is expected that for a given domain, there will only be one endpoint with a resource type set to WLS Admin Server.
Endpoint Execution
This operation will execute on the Admin Server endpoint selected using the WLS Admin Server resource type.
Special Considerations
Locking occurs on the endpoint to ensure multiple configuration changes are not concurrently being deployed at the same time for a domain. The lock files are located in {Base Working Directory for the endpoint}/locks with a file name of {Environment Code}_{WebLogic Domain Name}.
