Performs environment specific property replacement, determines next composite revision and deploys the SCA artifact or the patch artifact (12.2.1+ only) to the server.

Environment/Instance Properties

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description
SOA Server Host	`FDSOA_SERVER_HOST`	Yes	Host name of the SOA managed server.
SOA Server Port	`FDSOA_SERVER_PORT`	Yes	Port number of the SOA managed server.
Weblogic Admin User	`FDWLS_ADMIN_USER`	Yes	Admin user name for WebLogic server.
Weblogic Admin Password	`FDWLS_ADMIN_PASSWORD`	Yes	Weblogic Admin User password for WebLogic server.
MDS UserID	`FDMDS_USERID`	Yes	User name for MDS access.
MDS Password	`FDMDS_PASSWORD`	Yes	Password for MDS UserID.
MDS JDBC URL	`FDMDS_JDBCURL`	Yes	Database URL for MDS access.
Oracle SOA Home	`FD_ORACLE_SOA_HOME`	Yes	Oracle SOA Home, indicates where SOA Suite is installed.
SOA Extend Classpath	`FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH`	No	Ability to extend the plugin classpath for external java classes or custom xpath functions
SOA Deploy Config Plan	`FDSOA_DEPLOY_CFG_PLAN`	No	Ability to define config plan specific to a composite (see special considerations).

Project Properties

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description
SOA Composite Name	`FDSOA_COMPOSITE_NAME`	Yes	Name of composite that is being deployed.
SOA Partition	`FDSOA_PARTITION`	Yes	Name of the partition to hold the composite on the server.
SOA Overwrite Revision	`FDSOA_OVERWRITE_REVISION`	Yes	Flag to indicate if the composite revision on the server should be overwritten or a new revision created (see special considerations).
SOA Make Default Revision	`FDSOA_MAKE_DEFAULT_REVISION`	Yes	Flag to indicate if the deployed composite should be marked as the default revision.

Inputs

Input Name	Input Code	Required	Description
Deploy Config Plan	`FDSOA_INP_DEPLOY_CFG_PLAN`	No	Deployment config plan that is to be used for the composite. Takes a Wildcard expression or filename. Can be a relative or absolute path (see special considerations).
Composite Revision	`FDSOA_INP_REVISION`	No	Provide the composite revision, this input will override the SOA Overwrite Revision project property (see special considerations).

Outputs

Output Name	Required	Description
`FDSOA_DEPLOYED_REVISION`	Yes	Revision of the composite for this deployment.
`FDSOA_LAST_DFLT_REVISION`	Yes	Revision of the composite for the previous default revision.

Artifacts

This operation consumes an SCA composite jar from the artifacts 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

Utilize the SOA Extend Classpath environment variable to extend the plugin classpath to allow the compile to succeed with custom java classes or xpath functions.

NOTE: when patching a long running process revision that isn't the default revision, the patching process will make the patched revision the default revision.

Composite Revisions

The revision for a composite is calculated unless either Composite Revision (plugin input) is used or SOA Overwrite Revision (project property) is checked. The input will override all revision logic and use the value that is passed in. If the input is empty and the project property is unchecked, then the plugin will determine the largest revision on the server and increment the revision before deploying. The revision format is N.nn[.nn][.nn] with an initial value of 1.0, with

N – initial segment that will increment with no limitation

nn – 0 through 99, when segment hits 100 it rolls to the next higher segment

Current revision Next revision

1.0 1.01

1.99 2.00

1.0.0 1.0.01

1.0.99 1.01.00

Configuration Plans

The configuration plans that were saved to the ./artifacts/configPlans will be copied to the ./temp directory. Configuring the Deploy Config Plan input can be either an absolute path to a global configuration plan or a relative path to one of the copied configuration plans based on the ./temp directory.

Configuring the SOA Deploy Config Plan project property will require that the Deploy Config Plan input is not set. The input will take precedence over the project property.
