| OAF MDS Root Destination Directory | FDEBS_MDS_ROOT_DESTINATION_DIR | Target directory for MDS files (webui xmls). Default is PROD_TOP/mds. (e.g. $XXHR_TOP/mds). | $JAVA_TOP |
| OAF Java Classpath | FDEBS_JAVA_CLASSPATH | Location of user-defined classes and packages. | |
| File Permissions | FDEBS_FILE_PERMISSIONS | Target File Permission. Will be set to target file after deployment using chmod. eg: 755 | Target File Permission. Will be set to target file after deployment using chmod. eg: 755 |
Sample Build Commands
java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.exporter.XMLExporter /xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui/managePersonPG -rootdir ./ -username $FDEBS_DB_USER -password "$FDEBS_DB_PASSWORD" -dbconnection "$AD_APPS_JDBC_URL" ; cp ./xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui/managePersonPG.xml "$SOURCE_FILE"
Sample Deploy Commands
cp "$SOURCE_FILE" "$XXHR_TOP/mds/xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui/"; java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.importer.XMLImporter "$XXHR_TOP/mds/xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui/managePersonPG.xml" -rootdir $XXHR_TOP/mds/ -username $FDEBS_DB_USER -password "$FDEBS_DB_PASSWORD" -dbconnection "$AD_APPS_JDBC_URL";
Considerations
- All OAF MDS related files must be source controlled under a directory structure matching the Java package structure. This is a requirement to ensure the generated deploy commands copy them to the correct location under the $JAVA_TOP. If this requirement is not met, you will need to modify each of the target location paths and re-evaluate the commands or override the target location or root directory attribute scripts. See example below where xxPersonMainPG.xml file is placed in xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui under java folder.
You can verify deployment of MDS files using following code block.
begin
jdr_utils.printDocument('/xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui/xxPersonMainPG');
end;
