The following macros are not currently supported in the header:
  • style

createOrUpdateEISEntries

Creates or updates EIS Entries defined within properties files. The properties files will be processed for property replacement using $VARIABLE_NAME format. See the Appendix for more information about property replacement.

If deploying to a cluster that does not make use of shared storage, consider placing the syncEISToCluster operation in the workflow after the createOrUpdateEISEntries operation.

Environment/Instance Properties

Property Name

Property Code

Required

Description

Oracle Weblogic Home (WL_HOME)

FDWLS_WEBLOGIC_HOME

Yes

WebLogic Home Directory. (e.g. /u01/oracle/products/fmw/wlserver)

Weblogic Domain Name

FDWLS_DOMAIN_NAME

Yes

WebLogic Domain Name.

Weblogic Admin Listen Address

FDWLS_ADMIN_LISTEN_ADDRESS

Yes

The listener address of the WLS admin server. (e.g. localhost)

Weblogic Admin Listen Port

FDWLS_ADMIN_LISTEN_PORT

Yes

The port of the WLS admin server. (e.g. 7001)

Weblogic Admin SSL Connection

FDWLS_ADMIN_USE_SSL

No

Indicates whether the admin server is using SSL.

Weblogic Admin User

FDWLS_ADMIN_USER

Yes

The user name for the WLS admin server.

Weblogic Admin Password

FDWLS_ADMIN_PASSWORD

Yes

The password for FDWLS_ADMIN_USER.

Weblogic Admin Domain Directory

FDWLS_ADMIN_DOMAIN_DIRECTORY

No

Weblogic Domain Directory for AdminServer. If not provided, FDWLS_DOMAIN_DIRECTORY will be used.

Weblogic Domain Directory

FDWLS_DOMAIN_DIRECTORY

Yes

Weblogic Domain Directory.(e.g. /u01/oracle/config/domains/soa_domain)

Weblogic Adapter Plan

FDWLS_ADAPTER_PLAN_PATH

Project Properties

Description





Inputs

Property Name

Property Code

Required

Description

Properties File Path

FILE_PATH_TO_PROPERTIES

No

Comma-separated list of paths to the properties file(s).
If relative paths are given, they are assumed relative to the FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR directory.
If this property is not specified, all properties files in the FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR directory will be processed.

Outputs

Output Name

Required

Description

FDWLS_OUT_IS_RESTART_REQUIRED

No

A boolean value that indicates whether the server needs to be restarted to finish applying the configuration changes. You could use this in a workflow condition.

Artifacts

This operation consumes properties-file artifacts.

Endpoint Selection

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the environment instance 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

If FILE_PATH_TO_PROPERTIES is not specified, the FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR folder will be used. If a relative path is specified, the path will be relative to the FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR directory. Each EIS Adapter plan file is backed up to FD_TEMP_DIR/configbackup before it is modified. As with all files in the endpoint working directory, these files will be saved for 3 days before being deleted. It is important to set up the properties files like the examples below.

Example Folder Structure

  • Properties file can be named per your requirements. See Properties File Format.
  • eisconfigurations.properties – This is the main properties file. The path to it is referenced by FILE_PATH_TO_PROPERTIES.
  • DEV/ eisconfigurations.properties - optionally create a file here and override some properties with it per environment. The filename must match.
  • PROD/ eisconfigurations.properties - optionally have several environments.
    • Sub folder names for environment overrides must be FlexDeploy environment code

Example Property File

This sample file creates 3 EIS entries with properties. Property names can be gathered from the Weblogic console, WLST, Oracle's documentation, or existing plan.xml files.

 EISList=SOADB,SOAJMS,SOARODB
 SOADB.Adapter=DbAdapter
 SOADB.JNDI=eis/db/SOA
 SOADB.properties.XADataSourceName=jdbc/ebs01

 SOAJMS.Adapter=JmsAdapter
 SOAJMS.JNDI=eis/jms/SOAJMS
 SOAJMS.properties.ConnectionFactoryLocation=jms/ConnectionFactoryName

 SOARODB.Adapter=DbAdapter
 SOARODB.JNDI=eis/db/SOASOARODB
 SOARODB.properties.XADataSourceName=jdbc/ebs02

Properties File Format

Multiple EIS Entries can be defined in the properties file. The properties file must start with a list of EIS Entries present in the format EISList=eis1,eis2,eis3. Change eis1, eis2, eis3 to the names of the EIS Entries for your projects. Any number of EIS Entries is acceptable. The properties files will be processed for property replacement using $VARIABLE_NAME format. See Property Replacement Support for more information about property replacement.

Required Properties

Each EIS Entry must contain the following required properties

Property Name

Description

Adapter

The adapter name (e.g. JmsAdapter,DbAdapter). The adapter name is used to find its associated rar file, so it must be named exactly the same. The first part of the adapter name will also be used to create the plan file name.

JNDI

The JNDI name (e.g. eis/db/SOA)

The ConnectionFactoryInterface is an optional property. If not specified in your properties file, the default value will apply. The default value varies by adapter name.

Adapter Name

Default Value

JmsAdapter

oracle.tip.adapter.jms.IJmsConnectionFactory

OracleBamAdapter

bam.adapter.adc.soap.SOAPConnectionFactory

All other adapters

javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory

User-Specified Properties

Any number of properties of any kind may be applied to each EIS Entry. Please use this format:

 <EISNAME>.properties.username=weblogic
 <EISNAME>.properties.password=welcome1
