Sun N1 Service Provisioning System User's Guide for BEA WebLogic 9 Plug-in 1.0

Creating Configuration Services

To use the configuration objects in your WebLogic environment, you must first capture the service as a configuration component. This section provides the following procedures that describe how to capture these objects.

ProcedureHow to Create a Configuration Service

This procedure describes how to create configuration components. If you plan to use JMS Queues, Topics, Connection Factories, or Destination Keys, you must also create a JMS Module. For more information, see How to Configure a JMS Module.

Steps

  1. In the Common Tasks section of the browser interface, click WebLogic 9.

  2. In the Configuration Tasks section of the WebLogic 9 page, click the Create link for the configuration object that you want to capture.

    Click the Create link for one of the following configuration components.

    • Data Source

    • Multi Data Source

    • JMS Server

    • JMS Queues

    • JMS Topics

    • JMS File Store

    • JMS JDBC Store

    • JMS Connection Factory

    • JMS Destination Key

    • Mail Session

    The Components Details Edit page is displayed.

  3. Specify the name of the component.

  4. (Optional) Specify a label for the component.

  5. (Optional) Specify a description for the component.

  6. In the WebLogic Admin Server field, select the Managed Server or cluster from which you want to capture the configuration service.

  7. Navigate through the server file system to find the configuration service to capture.

  8. Click Check-in Selected Item.

  9. Confirm the information on the check-in page, then click Continue to Check-in.

Next Steps

To deploy the configuration service in your WebLogic environment, see Installing Configuration Services.

If you plan to deploy JMS Queues, Topics, Connection Factories, or Destination Keys, you must configure a JMS Module. See How to Configure a JMS Module for more information.

ProcedureHow to Configure a JMS Module

If you plan to use JMS Queues, Topics, Connection Factories, or Destination Keys, in your WebLogic environment, you must create a JMS Module container to configure these objects during deployment.

Steps

  1. In the Common Tasks section of the browser interface, click WebLogic 9.

  2. In the Configuration Tasks section of the WebLogic 9 page, click the JMS Module: Configure link.

    The Plans Details Run page is displayed.

  3. In the Plan Parameters area, select the variable settings for the JMS Module component that you plan to configure.

    • If the variable settings have been established for this component, select the appropriate settings from the menu.

    • If the settings are not available from the menu, click Select From List.

      The Select Variable Settings From List window displays.

      • To create a new set of variable settings, select Create Set.

        The following list provides commonly updated variables for the JMS Module component.

        variable set name

        Required. A name for the new variable set you create

        Name

        Required. Specifies the name of the JMS Module that you want to deploy.

        DescriptorFileName

        Required. Specifies the name of the JMS Module descriptor file.

        Notes

        Optional. Specifies any additional information or notes about the JMS Module.

        installName

        Required. Specifies the name to use to deploy the JMS Module

        installPath

        Required. Specifies the location to install the JMS Module.

        pluginClassPath

        Optional. Specifies the path to the WebLogic 9 Plug-In execJava classes.

      • If you want to use another component's variable settings, click Import Set From Component.

        The Import Variable Settings window displays.

        1. If necessary, navigate to the Folder that contains the component with the variable settings you want to import.

        2. Select the component version.

          Note –

          Variable settings can vary between component versions. Ensure that the current components and the component from which you want to import variable settings share common variables. If the component from which you want to import variable settings does not share common variables with the component you want to use in your plan, the variable settings are not imported.

        3. Click Import Variable Settings.

          The variables settings are imported, and are displayed in the table.

        4. On the Plan Details Run page, select the variable settings that you imported from the Variable Settings drop-down list, then click Select.

      • If you want to use component variable settings that are stored in a file, follow these steps.

        1. In the Import Sets from File text field, enter the path to the variable settings file that you want to use.

          To browse through the file system to find the appropriate file, click the Browse button.

        2. Click Import.

          The variables settings are imported, and are displayed in the table.

          Note –

          If the file from which you want to import variable settings does not share common variables with the component you want to use in your plan, the variable set is not imported.

        3. On the Plan Details Run page, select the variable settings that you imported from the Variable Settings drop-down list, then click Select.

  4. Select the target host or target host set.

    Target either a Managed Server or WebLogic Cluster.

    Note –

    The target host must be a member of the com.sun.weblogic#DeploymentTargetHS host set.

  5. Click Run Plan (includes preflight).
