# readWebLogicDataSources

> Reads Weblogic Data Sources from domain configurations and writes them into properties files. A separate properties file will be created for each Data

Reads Weblogic Data Sources from domain configurations and writes them into properties files. A separate properties file will be created for each Data Source.

These Properties files can be checked into source control and/or used as input to the CreateOrUpdateDataSources operation. It helps to automate the initial setup process for Data Sources by reducing the manual effort required to create the Property Files with the extracted datasource properties.

# Artifacts

This operation Produces properties-file artifacts.

# 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 execute on the Admin Server endpoint selected using the WLS Admin Server resource type.

# Special Considerations

If `File Path to Write Properties` is not specified, the `FD_TEMP_DIR` folder will be used. If a relative path is specified, the path will be relative to the `FD_TEMP_DIR` directory.

## Example Folder Structure

## Properties File Naming

Properties files are named by the pattern \<DSName>.properties, removing all spaces in the name. See Example Properties File below.

* `SOADataSources.properties` – This is the properties file. The path to write and store the file is referenced by the `File Path to Write Properties` input.

## Example Property File

The sample file defines simple data source with a sub-set of the available Required properties.

> [!TIP]
>
> ### Backslash in Properties file
>
> If you want \ (backslash) in any property value, use \\\ or \u005c. This is Java properties file [load](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#load%28java.io.Reader%29) syntax.
