Deploying MDS(Artifacts) into server using WLST (Weblogic Scripting Tool)

There are 3 operations that can be performed on MDS:

1)      Export Metadata

2)      Import Metadata

3)      Delete Metadata

•       Export Metadata: To import the deployed artifacts from server to local system can be done by using this operation.

•       Import Metadata: To insert or update the artifacts in MDS, this option is used.

•       Delete Metadata: To delete the artifacts from MDS, this option is used.

Meaning of some terms:

•       toLocation: The local directory path where artifacts structure is defined that needs to be deployed at MDS.

•       fromLocation: The path of local machine/server where artifacts need to be imported from MDS.

Steps to follow before Export/Import/Delete Metadata

1)Go to the SOA Home

CàOracleàMiddlewareàOracle_SOA1àcommonàbin

2) Execute the command: wlst.cmd

3)Execute connect(‘username’, ’password’, ’t3://hostname:portofAdminserver’)

Example: connect(‘abc’,’1234’,localhost:7001’);

Export Metadata

• Perform 1,2,3 steps.
• exportMetadata(application='soa-infra', server='AdminServer', toLocation='C:/Oracle/MiddlewareJdev_7.0/jdeveloper/integration/seed/project.jar', docs='/apps/Sample/**', remote=’true’)

Import Metadata

• Perform 1,2,3 steps.
• importMetadata(application='soa-infra', server='AdminServer', fromLocation=‘C:\Test3\mdstest.zip’,docs='/**', remote=’true’). 

After this we can see the xsd’s or wsdl’s under SOA_MDSàConnection1 with in a separate folder.

 

Now we can use these files in any project we are needed by going into resource palette à SOA_MDS.

Delete Metadata

• Perform 1, 2, 3 steps.
• deleteMetadata(application='soa-infra',server='AdminServer',docs='/apps/S/UtilityServices/FTP/V1/wsdl/**')

It removes folder also

• sca_removeSharedData('http://localhost:7001','S/UtilityServices/FTP/V1/xsd')

MDS (Metadata Services) - File Based

SOA Suite has a provision for sharing SOA artifacts through MDS. This facilitates greater reuse of SOA artifacts such as XML schema, WSDL, fault policies etc..

It can be of two types 1) File Based 2) Database Based.

•  In 11g MDS is created under <Jdeveloper-home>/Integration/seed directory and in 12c it is created under the folder soamds.
• Default folder “SOA” is used to store common system “SOA-Artifacts”
• “Custom Artifacts” are to be stored under folder “apps”

      

       Creating SOA-MDS File Based Connection.

       

      Select Connection Type as File Based MDS.

      

      Browse the folder upto <Jdeveloper-home>/Integration/seed as shown below.

     

     Now Test Connection.

     

    Place the artifacts which we want to use in the project under apps folder and we can see the 

    same in resource palette as shown below

    

    Reusing the custom artifacts in the project as below.

    

    Browse for MDS Location.

    

    

    Click Next and Finish. Before deploying the composite make sure the same folder structure 

    available in MDS (i.e, in your server). For MDS deployment steps in EM Click Here
