Create a New Domain Image

Use the Jenkins job to create a new domain image from Fusion Middleware installer, JDK installer and WebLogic patches for Oracle WebLogic Server for OKE.

You can use one of the following sources to specify the location of the JDK installer file, Fusion Middleware installer file, and WebLogic patch file:

  • Object Storage - Uses the pre-authenticated URL on the Object Storage.

    For JDK installer file, you must specify the location of a JDK that uses the Linux x64 compressed archive format (.tar.gz).

  • Shared File System - Uses the path of the shared file storage.

    The NFS shared file system path is mounted on /u01/shared location on the administration host.

To create a new domain image:

  1. Sign in to the Jenkins console for your domain. See Access the Jenkins Console.
  2. On the Dashboard page, click rebase-full-install.
  3. Click Build with Parameters.
  4. Select the source of the JDK installer file from the JDK_Installer list.
  5. For JDK_Location, specify the http pre-authenticated URL or the path of the zip file on the shared file system.
  6. Select the source of the Fusion Middleware installer file from the FMW_Installer list.
  7. For FMW_Installer_Location, specify the http pre-authenticated URL or the path of the JAR file on the shared file system.
  8. Select the source of the Weblogic patch file from the WLS_Opatches list.

    WLS_Opatches refers to any patch that may be required to patch WLS, ADF/JRF, or Coherence product binaries (including ADR patches, JRF patches, OPSS, OWSM, OPatches).

  9. For Opatches_Location, specify the http pre-authenticated URL or the path of the zip file on the shared file system.
    For multiple patches, specify the location in separate lines.
  10. Select Skip_Opatch_Update check box to create a new image without OPatch update (optional).
  11. Deselect the Rollback_On_Failure check box if you do not want to rollback to the previous working domain image (optional).

    If you deselected this check box, you can rollback to the previous image later from the backup.

    The Rollback_On_Failure check box is selected by default.

  12. Click Build to run the Pipeline job.

    You can see the different stages of the Pipeline for the rebase-full-install job. See Pipeline Job Stages in Domain in Image.
