Build script for deploying Webcenter Portal app

[abhishek...@accenture.com]

Hi,

 

I’m trying to come-up with ant build script for deploying Webcenter Portal application on weblogic Server.

I have the below queries.

 

1)      Is there any documentation from oracle or any pointers to guide the steps of deployment.

2)      Is it mandatory to create the MAR ?

3)      My current ANT script will clean, compile, package and deploy the Portal app. I have used wldeploy for deployment.

But I am getting below error.  Any idea?

 [wldeploy] weblogic.application.descriptor.MissingRootElementException: [Munger:2156204]The root element application is missing in the descriptor file

 

Thanks and Regards,

Abhishek

Hi, abhishek

I can help only in second question. The MAR is  used to placê metadata, this means the folders from Oracle/Webcenter/portalapp. If you don't use MAR your custom app wont be the latest version of the metadata repository.

I'll apreciate if you sharw your script with us.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply Nelson.

 

The compile script I have generated using the ant plugin provided in the JDeveloper.

 

Packaging script is as below. Note the below script is not packaging the MAR. So I need something to get the MAR also packaged in my EAR.

 

<target name="dist" depends="compile"

          description="Create WAR file for binary distribution">

    <jar destfile="${dist.home}/${app.name}-${app.version}.war"

         basedir="${work.home}"/>

    <ear destfile="${output.dir}/deployEar/myapp.ear"

         appxml="../src/META-INF/weblogic-application.xml">

      <fileset dir="${dist.home}" includes="*.jar,*.war"/>

    </ear>

  </target>

 

Deploy script is as below.

 

<taskdef name="wldeploy"

           classname="weblogic.ant.taskdefs.management.WLDeploy" 

           classpath="${oracle.wldeploy}"/>

          

  <target name="deploy">

    <wldeploy action="deploy" verbose="true" debug="true" name="application1"

              source="${output.dir}/deployEar/application1.ear" user="username" password="password"

              adminurl="hostname:port" targets="DefaultServer"/>

  </target>

 

While executing the above deploy script I’m getting below error. I think the script should also create the MDS partition. So if someone can guide how to create the MDS partition using ant script will be helpful?

 

weblogic.application.ModuleException: :oracle.mds.config.MDSConfigurationException:MDS-01335: namespace "/oracle/webcenter/search/scopedMD" mapped to me

tadata-store-usage "WebCenterFileMetadataStore" but its definition was not found in MDS configuration.

 

 

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Abhishek,

It is not clear from your email if you are using ojdeploy to build the
ear or if you are doing it via regular ant tasks. I have always found
it easier to use ojdeploy because this would mean all the dependent
config files are correctly created.

Anyway, the error you get seems to point to a missing application
descriptor - either the application.xml or weblogic-application.xml.
These are in the META-INF folder in the ear. Check if your ear
contains these descriptors and if they are correctly generated.

HTH,
Bijesh
