WLST Script : SOA Process Deployment

We can deploy a SOA process using the following ways.

• JDeveloper by connecting to corresponding Weblogic Server
• ANT Script
• WLST Script (Web Logic Scripting Tool)
• Weblogic Enterprise manager by accessing the SAR file
• Hudson tool

WLST Script :

It is command-line scripting interface which can be used to manage and monitor Weblogic server instances and domains. We can execute WLST commands one by one on the command line, it will display the corresponding results. Otherwise we can club all the commands into a python (.py) file and execute it programatically i.e we can use loops,conditions etc.

We can use this interface in two different modes as mentioned below.

• Online Mode : Connected to a running weblogic administration server
• Offline Mode : Not connecting to administration server   

To connect to WLST interface online we need to execute the below steps.

• Goto : cd /u01/Middleware/oracle_soa1/common/bin/
• Execute command :     ./wlst.sh
• It will connect to the WLST interface in offline mode.
• Execute command :    connect('username','password',"t3://host:7001");
• Now it will connected to the Weblogic admin server with Online mode.

We can use the following command in Online mode to deploy SOA processes and SOA MDS.

Export MDS : 

exportMetadata(application='soa-infra',server='soa_server1',toLocation='/u01/temp1/MDSData', docs='/apps/**');

Import MDS : 

importMetadata(application='soa-infra', server='soa_server1',fromLocation='/var/tmp/MDSData',docs="/apps/**");

Plan File Generate :               

sca_generatePlan("/var/tmp/MMpoRequest.xml",composite="/var/RequestorABCS/composite.xml",overwrite=true);

Plan File Validate : 

sca_validatePlan("/u01/temp1/myValRep.xml", "/u01/myplan1.xml",composite="/u01/RequestorABCS/composite.xml");
sca_validatePlan("/u01/temp1/myValRep.xml", "/u01/myplan1.xml", sar="/u01/ProivderABCS_rev1.0.jar");

Deploy Composite : 
sca_deployComposite("http://wlsHost:8001","/u01/RequestorABCS/deploy/RequestorABCS_rev1.0.jar",overwrite=true, user="weblogic",password="admin123",forceDefault=true,partition="default",configplan="/u01/myplan1.xml");

Undeploy Composite :

sca_undeployComposite("http://wlsHost:8001","VarSensor", "1.0", partition='POC');

We can use a configplan file at the time of deploying a SOA process which depends upon another wsdl deployed on a WLS server and we try to deploy it on a different server which not same as the calling wlst resides. The plan file search the location of the wsdl location and replaces with the current deploying wls server location. We can create a single plan file for multiple soa processes.

Deploy Multiple SOA processes using WLST:

For this we need to create a soa bundle SAR file at first by using following steps on Jdeveloper.

Choose those projects which are you need to bundle from the application projects.

Now again go to the Application tab-> Deploy. Here you will get the created SOA Bundle file.

We can deploy the SOA bundle file directly on application server or to the SOA Bundle file(It will create a corresponding JAR file on the Application->Deploy folder. This jar file can be deploy to a remote server using WLST script.).

Happy Coding :)
