Sets the file connection details for the application(EAR) metadata repository (MDS). EAR file must be present in artifacts folder and there must be only one EAR file in artifacts folder. This works similar to deploy command for WebLogic plugin that operates on EAR file in artifacts folder.

Environment/Instance Properties

Property Name	Required	Description
FD_ORACLE_MW_HOME	Yes	The oracle middleware home directory, which will contain subfolders such as oracle_common, wlsserver_10.3, coherence*, etc.
FDADF_REPOSITORY_NAME	Yes	The name of the application's MDS repository.
FDADF_MDS_FILE_PATH	Yes	The location of the file metadata store.

Project Properties

Property Name	Required	Description
FDADF_PARTITION_NAME	No	The name of the partition for the application's customization and personalization data. Defaults to the name of the EAR file, minus the extension. User customizations will be stored under this partition.

Artifacts

This operation will consume an ADF EAR artifact from the artifact repository.

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

This plugin operation typically consumes an artifact produced by the JDeveloper Plugin's applicationBuild operation. The Weblogic Plugin's deployEAR operation is then typically used to deploy the ear onto a Weblogic Server. This setAppMetadataRepositoryFile operation must be executed on the same endpoint as the subsequent deployEAR operation so that the modified EAR is available for deployment.
