Sets the database connection details for the application (EAR) metadata repository (MDS). EAR file must be present in artifacts folder and there must be only one EAR file in artifacts folder. This works similar to deploy command for WebLogic plugin that operates on EAR file in artifacts folder. Middleware administrator must configure MDS repository on WebLogic domain and configure Repository Name and JNDI location on target as indicated in table below. This step generally would be added just before Deploy operation, so EAR file will be updated just prior to deploy with MDS details for target domain.

Description

Oracle Middleware Home (MW_HOME)

FD_ORACLE_MW_HOME

Yes

The oracle middleware home directory, which will contain sub-folders such as oracle_common, wlsserver_10.3, coherence*, etc.

MDS(ADF) Repository Name

FDADF_REPOSITORY_NAME

Yes

The name of the application’s MDS repository.

MDS(ADF) Repository JNDI Name

FDADF_MDS_JNDI_LOCATION

Yes

The JNDI location for the database connection.

Description

MDS(ADF) Partition Name

FDADF_PARTITION_NAME

No

The name of the partition for the application’s customization and personalization data.

Defaults to the name of the EAR file, minus the extension. User customizations will be stored under this partition.

​
Artifacts

This operation will consume an ADF EAR artifact from the artifact repository. 

​
Endpoint Selection

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the Target which have a resource type of WLS Admin Server. Since the admin server only runs on one server, it is expected that for a given domain, there will only be one endpoint with a resource type set to WLS Admin Server.

​
Endpoint Execution

This operation will randomly execute on one of the endpoints identified during selection.

​
Special Considerations

This plugin operation typically consumes an artifact produced by the JDeveloper Plugin’s applicationBuild operation. The Weblogic Plugin’s deployEAR operation is then typically used to deploy the ear onto a WebLogic Server. This setAppMetadataRepositoryDB operation must be executed on the same agent as the subsequent deployEAR operation such that the modified EAR is available for deployment.
