Middleware Use Cases
WebLogic Server 12c (WLS) version 12.1.1Oracle Service Bus 11g (OSB) version 11.1.1.6WebLogic Portal 10g (WLP) version 10.3.4Small, Medium Or Large Deployment
15
Middleware Provisioning
• Discover reference Oracle Home/domain
• Create provisioning profile in software library
• Create directives in software library
• Edit predefined deployment procedure
• Test deployment procedure from console to capture input parameters
• Create wrapper script which calls emcli “submit_procedure”
• Enable end users to make requests using PG&E’s Provisioning Portal
16
Prerequisites
• Configure Software Library on OEM Server
• Enable passwordless (ssh keys) connection between Oracle Management Service and new VM
• Update the /etc/sudoers with: weblogic ALL=(root)/u01/app/Oracle/product/agent12c/sbin/nmosudo
• Setup named credentials and privilege delegation.
• Install required packages on the OS, create OS user and group(webLogic)
• Install and start Oracle Management Agent on new server
18
Directives
• Provisioning Profiles Capture “Standard” Files and Artifacts of WebLogic Domain[Gold Image].
• Additional Files Specific to WL Domain must be moved to Target Host(s) with File Transfer Step or Directive.
• With Directives you upload required Files to Software Library along with script to move and/or Manipulate Files, called Main file
• Be sure to check “Use Most Recent Version” check box, else your procedure keeps calling older version
20
Customized Deployment ProcedureOracle-provided deployment procedure named "Provision Middleware" customized to accommodate PG&E requirements Custom Directives (Described Earlier), or Shell Script that Execute Shell Commands and/or call WLST We Generally Added One Directive and 3 to 4 Shell Scripts to Customized Procedures Shell Script Cannot Exceed 4096 Characters. Can Use Runtime Variables in Scripts, e.g. ${target.DOMAIN_HOME_DEST_ADMIN_HOST}
22
Options to ProvisionProvision using console:• Several clicks and repetitive
process
Provision using EMCLI:• Capture once and execute many
23
EMCLI Wrapper Script• Generated Properties Files Made Generic by Substituting Actual Values with
Specific Keywords:
<Hostname> -> MyHostName <Domain Name> -> MyDomainName <DBSid> -> MyDBSid
• Wrapper Scripts Creates Copy of Properties Files and Substitutes New Values Passed on Command Line
• Removes Copy When Completed
• Provision New WebLogic Portal Domain Example: sh ./emcliWrapperDB.sh "DB_DATA" "S" “database-host“ "Linux" "WLPDBS" sh ./emcliWrapperWL.sh WLP S EIWLP wlp-mw-host database-host WLPDBS
