Provides the ability to activate a composite(s) on the SOA server. This operation will handle all revisions for a given composite (the default revision will not be maintained). The default revision is always started and other revisions can be controlled by an "Activate All Revisions" input..

Target 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, which will be the SSL Listen Port or Listen Port based on whether you desire to connect using SSL.
SOA Use SSL	`FDSOA_USE_SSL`	No	Whether or not to use SSL when connecting to the SOA Server. Is unchecked by default. If checked, SOA Server Port must be set to the SSL Listen Port and Weblogic Domain Directory must be set.
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.
Weblogic Domain Directory	`FDWLS_DOMAIN_DIRECTORY`	Yes*	Weblogic Domain Directory for the WebLogic server. *Only required if SOA Use SSL option is checked.
Oracle SOA Home	`FD_ORACLE_SOA_HOME`	Yes	Oracle SOA Home, indicates where SOA Suite is installed.

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.

Inputs

Input Name	Input Code	Required	Description
Composites File	`FDSOA_INP_COMPOSITES_FILE`	No	File name (anywhere in temp directory) or absolute path to file with comma separated composite names. See Special Considerations section below for additional details.
Composite Name List	`FDSOA_INP_COMPOSITE_NAME_LIST`	No	Comma separated composite names, overrides Composite File Name input. Optionally, can prefix a partition on the composite name if there are more than one composite with the same name, (<partition:>composite1, composite2). See Special Considerations section below for additional details.
Activate All Revisions	`FDSOA_INP_ACTIVATE_ALL_REVISIONS`	No	Check to activate all composite revisions. If false then only default revision will be activate (default value is false).
Composite Revision	`FDSOA_INP_REVISION`	No	Provide specific revision to activate. If set then Activate All Revisions input will be ignored. See Special Considerations section below for additional details.
Make Default Revision	`FDSOA_MAKE_DEFAULT_REVISION`	No	If Composite Revision input is provided, that specific revision will be set as default.
Continue on Not Found	`FDSOA_INP_CONTINUE_ON_NOT_FOUND`	No	If checked, error will not be thrown if composite is not found. Defaults to false.

Outputs

Output Name	Description

Artifacts

This operation doesn’t consume or produce any artifacts.

Endpoint Selection

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the Target.

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

The composite names that are used will be determined by first looking at the Composite Names input, then the Composite File Name input and lastly the SOA Composite project property (the first two inputs can provide multiple composite names). The Revision input should generally not be utilized with the Composite Names or Composite File Name inputs. The single revision input will be checked against each composite from the composite list and the specific revision may not be available on all composites, which will cause the operation to fail.

activating a single revision (this is the backwards compatibility capability)
- utilizes "Composite Revision" and "Make Default Revision" inputs to control what revision to activate and whether it should be the default revision
activating multiple composites/revisions
- utilizes "Composites File" or "Composite Name List" and "Activate All Revisions" inputs
  - if utilizing "Composite File", there can be several variations of file name;
    1. just a file name, will look in the temp directory for the given file name
    2. relative path, will only look for the relative path within the temp directory for the given file name
    3. absolute path, will only look at the absolute path for the given file
- either input (Composite File or Composite Name List) provides a list of composite names to activate that must use the following format: <partition:>composite1,composite2 (partition is optional)
- the default revision is activated first and then all non-default revisions will be activate, if the "Activate All Revisions" input is checked. This operation will not maintain the default revision, Enterprise Manager executes in the same manner. If a composite is in two partitions, then specify the partition in the above format to direct the operation to the correct composite.
