Preface

This document describes the functionality provided by the Oracle Service Bus (OSB) plugin.

See the Deployit Reference Manual for background information on Deployit and deployment concepts.

Overview

The OSB plugin is a Deployit plugin that adds capability for importing and deleting OSB projects.

Features

  • OSB Configuration (import and delete)
  • OSB Customization files (during import) with placeholders replacement

Requirements

  • Deployit requirements

    • Deployit: version 3.6+
    • WLS versions: from ALSB 3.0 to OSB 11gR5
    • Other Deployit Plugins: WebLogic plugin version 3.6+
  • Infrastructural requirements

    • WebLogic Domain user credentials
    • User credentials for accessing the Host managing the WebLogic Administration Server.
    • User credentials for accessing target Hosts of managed Servers (for NoStage mode)

Usage in Deployment Packages

The plugin works with the standard deployment package of DAR format. Please see the Packaging Manual for more details about the DAR format and the ways to compose one.

The following is a sample MANIFEST.MF file that can be used to create an OSB specific deployment package. It contains declarations for an osb.Configuration that contains two projects: project1 and project2

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Deployit-Package-Format-Version: 1.3
CI-Application: MyFrontEndServices
CI-Version: 2.0

Name: osbConfiguration
CI-Type: osb.Configuration
CI-projectNames-EntryValue-1: project1
CI-projectNames-EntryValue-1: project2

osb.Configuration is a folder that contains one jar file containing the projects and one or more customization files in xml.

Using the deployables and deployeds

The following table describes which deployable/container combinations are possible.
