Deploy the OOTB SOA Composites in 11gR2PS2

Deploy the OOTB SOA Composites in 11gR2PS2

 

NOTE:  This step has been automated as part of the environment build scripts.

 

The OOTB SOA composites need to be deployed.  This can be done using the Enterprise Manager application.

 

·         Login to Enterprise Manager (EM) as weblogic.

·         Expand the Farm_idmàSOA folder

·         Expand soa_infra for (soa_server1 or soa_server2)

o   This will display the “default” partition.  This is where our deployed composites will be listed/displayed.  Initially, this will be empty.

·         Right click on the default partition and a popup menu will appear 

·         Select SOA Deployment ...Deploy to this Partition…

·         In the Archive or Exploded Directory section, select the Archive on the server where Enterprise Manager is running option.

·         Specify the path for one of the following SOA composites that needs to be deployed.

o    /oracle/admin/idmdomain/aserver/idm/soa/autodeploy/sca_AutoApproval_rev1.0.jar

o    /oracle/admin/idmdomain/aserver/idm/soa/autodeploy/sca_BeneficiaryManagerApproval_rev1.0.jar

o    /oracle/admin/idmdomain/aserver/idm/soa/autodeploy/sca_CertificationProcess_rev2.0.jar

o    /oracle/admin/idmdomain/aserver/idm/soa/autodeploy/sca_CertificationOverseerProcess_rev1.0.jar

o    /oracle/admin/idmdomain/aserver/idm/soa/autodeploy/sca_DefaultOperationalApproval_rev3.0.jar

o    /oracle/admin/idmdomain/aserver/idm/soa/autodeploy/sca_DefaultRequestApproval_rev3.0.jar

o    /oracle/admin/idmdomain/aserver/idm/soa/autodeploy/sca_DefaultRoleApproval_rev1.0.jar

o    /oracle/admin/idmdomain/aserver/idm/soa/autodeploy/sca_DefaultSODApproval_rev1.0.jar

o    /oracle/admin/idmdomain/aserver/idm/soa/autodeploy/sca_DisconnectedProvisioning_rev1.0.jar

o    /oracle/admin/idmdomain/aserver/idm/soa/autodeploy/sca_OAACGRoleAssignSODCheck_rev1.0.jar

o    /oracle/admin/idmdomain/aserver/idm/soa/autodeploy/sca_ProvideInformation_rev1.0.jar

o    /oracle/admin/idmdomain/aserver/idm/soa/autodeploy/sca_RequesterManagerApproval_rev1.0.jar

·         Click the Next button 

·         Click the Deploy button

·         Wait while the composite is deployed

·         Once it is deployed, the progress window will close automatically

 

Your composite will now be displayed in the default partition.  Repeat this process to deploy the remaining SOA composites.
