Creates or updates Datasources, EIS entries and JMS objects defined by properties files. The properties files will be processed for property replacement using $VARIABLE_NAME format. See the Appendix for more information about property replacement.

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`	No	Path to the XML files used by Resource Adapters. (optional) If this parameter is not used, the adapters' last-used setting will be used.

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 Datasource, EIS Adapter plan and JMS Module 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.

Example Folder Structure

Properties files can reside in the FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR folder, a sub-folder, or another folder. Properties files with the same names in folders named after environments will override settings in the files in the root folder when the operation is run on servers in that environment.

Environment folders must match the environment code within the FlexDeploy topology.

Properties File Format

Multiple Property lists can be defined in each properties file. They can even hold JMS, DataSources and EIS entries in one file, but it is a best practice to use several files and name them according to their contents. Each properties file must start with one or more lists of elements present in the file. Any number of element types is acceptable in each file, and any number of each type of element is acceptable as well. The properties files will be processed for property replacement using $VARIABLE_NAME format. See Property Replacement Support for more information about property replacement.

Example Property Files

See the Example properties files in the createOrUpdateDataSources, createOrUpdateJMSEntries, createOrUpdateEISEntries operations. Any combination of their files is acceptable.
