In particular, this section covers the following:
This section describes how you can provision SOA artifacts from one soa-infra domain to another.
In particular, this section covers the following:
Before running the Deployment Procedure, meet the following prerequisites:
Ensure that you meet the prerequisites described in the following sections:
Ensure that you have already provisioned Oracle SOA Suite 11g and its underlying Oracle WebLogic Server Domain.
Ensure that all the components (not only the soa-infra domain) within the source and target Oracle WebLogic Server Domains are up and running.
Ensure that the source and the destination soa-infra domains are of the same version.
To provision SOA artifacts (composites, web service policies, JPS configuration) from a reference installation, follow these steps:
In Grid Control, click the Deployments tab.
On the Deployments page, in the Deployment Procedure Manager section, click Deployment Procedures.
On the Deployment Procedure Manager page, in the Procedures subtab, from the table, select SOA Artifacts Provisioning deployment procedure. Then click Schedule Deployment. Enterprise Manager Grid Control displays the Source Selection page of the Deployment Procedure.
Note:
You can also access this deployment procedure as follows:From the SOA Infrastructure Home page:
From the Grid Home page, navigate to the Targets page.
In the Targets page, click Middleware.
In the Middleware page, click on a target of type SOA Infrastructure.
In the SOA Infrastructure home page, from the SOA infrastructure-specific menu, select SOA Artifacts Provisioning.
On the Source Selection page, in the Source Selection section, do the following:
Retain the default selection, that is, Provision from reference environment.
Click on the torch icon against the Domain Name field. Search for the Oracle WebLogic Server Domain that you want to deploy the SOA artifacts from and select it. Ensure that the source Oracle WebLogic Server Domain is up and running.
In the Credentials section, retain the default section, that is, Preferred Credentials so that the preferred credentials stored in the Management Repository can be used.
To override the preferred credentials with another set of credentials, select Override Preferred Credentials. You are prompted to specify the Oracle WebLogic Server Domain credentials and the Oracle WebLogic Administration Server host credentials. In the Oracle WebLogic Server Domain Credentials section, specify the administrator credentials that can be used to access the WebLogic Server Administration Console. In the Oracle WebLogic Administration Server Host Credentials section, specify the operating system credentials of the user who installed the Admin Server.
Optionally, if you want to save the SOA artifacts as an image in the Software Library, select Save SOA Artifacts Gold Image in Software Library.
For example, in future, if you want to provision this particular version to other Oracle WebLogic Server Domains, then instead of using the reference installation, which could potentially be down, you can use the gold image you saved in the Software Library.
Click Next.
On the Select Destination page, do the following:
Click on the torch icon against the Domain Name field. Search for the Oracle WebLogic Server Domain that you want to deploy the SOA artifacts to and select it. Ensure that the destination Oracle WebLogic Server Domain is up and running.
