Basically this is how my ANT scripts works. First add your own metadata folders under the apps folder ( do this in jdeveloper\integration\seed\apps ).
My ANT script will do the following steps for every metadata folder under apps
- optionally remove the metadata folder from the remote Soa Suite Database MDS repository
- Make a zip file of the metadata files ( Local MDS file repository) .
- Make a new Soa Bundle zip with this metadata zip
- Deploy this soa bundle to the Soa Suite Server, The server will add this to the Database MDS
To make this work copy the antcontrib jar to the jdeveloper\ant\lib folder ( because of the foreach and the propertycopy fucntion )
Here is my build.properties
The build.xml
and at last the deployMDS.bat file
set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\MiddlewareJdev11gR1PS2 set ANT_HOME=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdeveloper\ant set PATH=%ANT_HOME%\bin;%PATH% set JAVA_HOME=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk160_18 set CURRENT_FOLDER=%CD% ant -f build.xml deployMDSSee my github for the source code https://github.com/biemond/soa_tools
Hi Edwin!
ReplyDeleteWhat or where is this antcontrib jar located?
pino
Hi ,
ReplyDeletehere you can downnload the jar for ant
http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/
thanks Edwin
Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteAfter deployment how can we verify those components.
Is it possible by opening in IE
Hi ,
ReplyDeleteyou can make a new MDS database connection and connect to your Soa or ADF MDS database schema.
or use sqlplus, the database design is not so dificult.
thanks
Edwin,
ReplyDeleteI am improving my buidl tool :-) How is your target
antcall target="removeSharedData" inheritall="false"
and
antcall target="deploy" inheritall="false"
Look like?
Marc
Hi Marc,
ReplyDeletethese are part of the default ant scripts of Oracle, located in the jdev bin folder after install of the soa add-on
ant-sca-deploy.xml
thanks
Edwin,
ReplyDeleteI am not able to remove folders. All files inside the folder (ex:C:\oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper\integration\seed\apps\myapp) is removed but the folder (myapp) itself remains. Is that expected?
Ari.
Yep,
ReplyDeleteyou are right, the folders remains but you can delete the records in the mds_paths table of your mds schema.
thanks
Hi Edwin!
ReplyDeleteI'm using ant file to deploy a XSD to the MDS Server. It is been deployed correctly.
After that, I'm trying to use this shared XSD in a project. I had imported the schema using SOA-MDS connection and the schemalocation of my wsdl is iguals to "oramds:/apps/xsd/Common.xsd". The import is OK because I can use elements for this schema to define new variables.
The problem is when I try to make deploy. If I use deploy inside jDeveloper, the jar file is created without errors, but if I use ant script to build and deploy, the following error occurs:
scac:
[scac] Validating composite : 'C:\@Andrade\@Trabalho\Development\NovosTestesVSTS\NovoTesteCommon/composite.xml'
[scac] oracle.fabric.common.wsdl.XSDException: Error loading schema from file:/C:/@Andrade/@Trabalho/Development/NovosTestesVSTS/NovoTesteCommon/NovoTesteCommonBPELProcess.wsdl [Cause=Error in getting XML input stream: oramds:/apps/xsd/Common.xsd: oracle.mds.exception.MDSException: MDS-00054: The file to be loaded oramds:/apps/xsd/Common.xsd does not exist.]
[scac] at oracle.fabric.common.wsdl.SchemaBuilder.loadEmbeddedSchemas(SchemaBuilder.java:496)
[scac] at oracle.fabric.common.wsdl.SchemaBuilder.loadSchemasFromWSDL(SchemaBuilder.java:365)
Do you have any suggestion about what is generating this error?
I already tryed to put the shared XSD in local and server MDS and made the changes in adf-config.xml, but I can't build my project via ant script.
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Rafael
Hi,
ReplyDeleteStrange , I think it is a configuration problem in the build.xml or adfc-config.xml.
Or the local MDS in the integration folder is not right
thanks
Excellent article Edwin. Thanks for the help on this. I was able to get everything working. The only thing that I can't figure out is the way to move the assets that I built like xsd or wsdl from their applications to the local MDS. Do I need to use File Explorer to copy and past these assets to the local MDS folder or can it be done from JDeveloper?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteyeah you need to copy this with explorer to the local MDS folder
or you can make a dummy project in jdeveloper where you use the same mds structure only seed/apps
so you can check this in svn.
you only need to change the mds ant script for the new path and all the adf-config.xml of your soa applications
thanks
Edwin,
ReplyDeleteI have deployed some shared projects under MDS and now I want to delete them but cudn't find a way.
In my IDEConn ->SOA_MDS -> Shared_Res -> apps i have 3 diff project, now I want to deploy some of them but not able to do it.
Can you let me know how can I undeploy my mds applications?
I appreciate all the help.
-Dasmeet
Hi,
ReplyDeletedid you try this
ant -f build.xml undeployMDS -Dbasedir=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdeveloper\bin
thanks Edwin
Edwin,
ReplyDeleteI am using DB base repository and not file base.
Secondly, I have deployed my shared project from jDev by first creating jar deployment (archive) in project properties and then SOA bundle in Aplication Propoerties and then deployed this SOA Bundle to App Server.
I don't hv build.xml and file repository so i don't know is this command will work.
ant -f build.xml undeployMDS -Dbasedir=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdeveloper\bin
Please let me know how we can do with DB base repository?
Thanks
Dasmeet
hi,
ReplyDeletejust copy the 3 files to a local folder and change the properties so it matches your app folders.
and run the bat script.
thanks
Is there a way I can download these files?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Sai
Ok,
ReplyDeletehere we go http://www.sbsframes.nl/jdeveloper/ant_mds.zip
thanks
HI Edwin,
ReplyDeleteIs there any Ant task using which I can use to download the existing artifacts from MDS. This will be useful in scenarios multiple developers modify the files @MDS
Hi,
ReplyDeletethis should do the trick
ant -f ant-sca-deploy.xml exportSharedData -DserverURL=server.url -DjarFile=jar.file -Dpattern=pattern -Duser=user
Note:
After specifying the user name, enter the password when prompted.
Argument Definition
serverURL The URL of the server that hosts the SOA Infrastructure application (for example, http://stabc:8001).
jarFile The absolute path of the JAR file to be generated.
pattern The file pattern supported by MDS transfer APIs. Use the semicolon delimiter (;) if multiple patterns are specified. Exclude the shared data namespace /apps in the pattern. For example:
/Project1/**;/Project2/**
This example exports all documents under /apps/Project1 and /apps/Project2.
user Optional. The user name for accessing the server when basic configuration is configured.
password The password for accessing the server when basic configuration is configured. This parameter is optional.
Example 41-22 shows how to export shared data of a given pattern into a JAR file.
Example 41-22 Exporting Shared Data of a Given Pattern into a JAR File
ant -f ant-sca-deploy.xml exportSharedData -DserverURL=http://stabc:8001 -DjarFile=/tmp/MySharedData.jar -Dpattern="/Project1/**"
very informative post. Thanks sharing with this blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help Edwin. I had seen this task ,but was not sure which way it will export(to /from MDS).I tried out the way u told and its working. Gr8 going.
ReplyDeleteHi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteI am looking for an API that I can use to retrieve the default composite version from the SOA 11g application. I was wondering if you have any idea of such an API.

ReplyDeleteHi Edwin, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe script works very well, except my composite application uses shared schema objects in MDS, thus, there is reference as oramds:/apps/itas/FAInterface.wsdl
And when running the ANT to deploy the composite application, it was giving error as
Caused by: java.io.IOException: oracle.mds.exception.MDSException: MDS-00054: The file to be loaded oramds:/apps/itas/FAInterface.wsdl does not exist.
while the same project can be deployed in Jdeveloper without errors.
1. I checked .adf/META_INF/adf-config.xml and it looks fine
2. I can browse the file from SOA_MDS connection to the server.
3. ant-sca-compile has include oramds.jar in the classpath.

Hi,

thanks
Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteI've got XSDs, WSDLs in my MDS artifact. I want to replace the endpoints in the wsdl based on the deploying environment. I tried using configuration plan to do that but no luck.
Is there anyother way to replace the endpoints as u deploy in different environment.
Thanks
Srini
Hi
ReplyDeleteplease help what is usarmy MDS used for
on the example u used woningnet-Test.
I can't deploy it complains about the MDS
Regards
Emmanuel
Hi Srini
ReplyDeleteI dont think you should put in wsdl with endpoint in the MDS. In MDS you can't use configuration plans.
you still can use wsdl for services and components.
thanks
Hi Emmanuel
ReplyDeleteit is just an example just create your own app folder and change the build.properties and you are ready to go.
thanks
Thanks Edwin,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by WSDL for services and components ?
Cheers
Srini
hi,
ReplyDeletethe wsdl of the reference webservice contains endpoints to ws outside the soa server or to other composite. Then it is handy to change them in a configuration plan. In MDS this is not possible
thanks
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI updated my ant scripts so it works with PS1 and PS2, you don't need to set the basedir anymore and it is faster now because it doesn't need to import the soa build xml's .
http://www.sbsframes.nl/jdeveloper/ant_mds.zip
thanks
Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteIn properties file you mentioned mds-application as "Woningnet-Test".
Do we need to create application for this?
Regards
PavanKumar.M
Hi,
ReplyDeleteyou need to replace it with your own app and change this property file.
thanks
Hi Ediwin,
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to replace the artifacts i have deployed on the mds without any base folder.. there are a few dvms that have been accidentally deployed directly under apps folder... trying '.' for folderName did not work...
arv
Hi,
ReplyDeleteyou can go to the MDS database and change the path in one the tables .
off course make sure it is not used by a composite
thanks Edwin
I have uploaded MDS artifacts (using JDev following the steps in 43.6 of the Developer guide) in a wrong directory structure in the database. Can I use these ant scripts to undeploy MDS artifacts from the database? If so, what do I need to give in the mds.repository in build.properties file?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Shanthi
Hi,
ReplyDeleteif this is a 1 time operation then you can use the mds mbean. Go to the system mbean browser ( EM )
then application defined mbeans
-> oracle.mds.lcm -> go the soa-infra mbean -> operations.
then you can use /XXXX/** or /apps/XXXX/abc/**
thanks
Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteGreat article. Is it possible to include associated document references in MDS artifacts? For example, can I have a WSDL that imports an XSD using an oramds url? So far I haven't had any luck in my tests either for oramds urls or relative paths. Do I need to plug in a special URIResolver somewhere?
thanks,
Alex
Hi,
ReplyDeleteboth situations works perfectly.
you can use ./yourschema.xsd in the wsdl when the xml schema is in the same folder or
use oramds:/apps/XXX/xsd/yourschema.xsd
hope this helps
Hey Edwin
ReplyDeleteExcellent utility that has been made public. Quite handy. Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteI have the same issue as one of the user commented in this thread earlier.
I could deploy without any issues with JDeveloper having references using oramds with shared resources deployed in DB based MDS.
I verified adf-config.xml also, which has MDS setup pointing to DB only
Pl help
More on this error
--------------------------------
My composite application uses shared schema objects in MDS, thus, there is reference as oramds:/apps/xx.wsdl
And when running the ANT to deploy the composite application, it was giving error as
Caused by: java.io.IOException: oracle.mds.exception.MDSException: MDS-00054: The file to be loaded oramds:/apps/XX.wsdl does not exist.
while the same project can be deployed in Jdeveloper without errors.
1. I checked .adf/META_INF/adf-config.xml and it looks fine
2. I can browse the file from SOA_MDS DB connection to the server.
Appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Satish
Hi,
ReplyDeleteCan you check this oramds:/apps/xx.wsdl I would expect something like this oramds:/apps/XXX/xx.wsdl where XXX is a folder. dont think you got permission to write in apps.
Edwin, thanks for quick reply.
ReplyDeleteActually, I just gave a ref url.
The actual looks like below
oramds:/apps/XXX/services/XX.wsdl
I am using DB based MDS.
I am on 11g (11.1.1.3)
I could deploy the same project from JDeveloper and also Test the composite successfully.
Only issue happening when deploying through ANT..
Am I missing something ?
thanks,
Satish
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI use a local MDS as source and deploy this to the SOA MDS.
and maybe the path of mds.reposistory is on the wrong level, How does your zip/ jar looks like.
it should be like XXXX\services\xxx.wsdl
thanks
I deployed shared resources in MDS through separate project and verified them for path and also browsed them by creating a connection to SOA-MDS.
ReplyDeleteStrange thing for me is JDeveloper able to compile the project which has oramds references , but not standalone Ant scripts.
Is there any way we can enable detailed debug of what JDev doing during deployment? I believe , it also uses same ANT home which I am using in standalone.
This is the exception I see
Dec 20, 2010 4:33:56 PM oracle.adf.share.config.ADFMDSConfig createMDSInstanceFromelement
SEVERE: MDSConfigurationException encountered in parseADFConfigurationMDS-01335: namespace "/apps" mapped to metadata-store-usage "mstore-usage_1" but its definition was not found in MDS configuration.
oracle.mds.config.MDSConfigurationException: MDS-01335: namespace "/apps" mapped to metadata-store-usage "mstore-usage_1" but its definition was not found in MDS configuration.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteOk your mstore-usage_1 defintion in adf-config.xml is wrong.
metadata-path property should be correct for example MiddlewareJdev11gR1PS2\jdeveloper\integration
and the partition-name property contains the folder under this metadata-path folder and should exists for example seed
You need to have at least 1 project / workspace where you go from file to database mds. Else you cant work with mds. So change the adf-config for this project
ReplyDeleteEdwin,
ReplyDeleteI got it resolved. Thank you so much for your prompt help
The issue is with Application Home setting in my build.properties file because of which it is unable to load adf-config.xml . Now the deployment works fine even without having local MDS setup and just based on server DB based MDS.
Although I have one other question. For some reason, I am unable to create MAR deployment profile for shared resources for direct deployment to server MDS.
Right now , I am able to deploy only through SOA bundle. Is there any alternative ??
Thanks again
Satish
Hi,
ReplyDeleteif you follow my ANT scripts then you see the mar is just a zipped file, without META-INF folder. you can deploy this zip in the enterprise manager application.
thanks
Hi Ediwin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your blog. We implemented the MDS concept based on your blog. However we got a problem with it. When a schema is changed we are making the soa bundle and deploying again to the server. We can able to see the updated schema in the server using JDev MDS connection. But our application is still picking up the old version of the schema. Is this a problem with caching? I invoked clearCache method on runtime mds mbean. But no use. Can you please help us in this situation?
Ok,
ReplyDeletethat is strange and is the xsd after a reboot of the soa server Ok.
if so then it is a caching problem.
thanks
Edwin,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the response. We are getting the problem with XSLs. We are using doTransformForDoc( 'oramds:/apps/sample.xsl', ...). If sample.xsl is changed and updated to the MDS, BPEL process is not picking up the latest XSL in MDS. It is picking up the older one until BPEL Process is redeployed again.
Hi Edwin
ReplyDeleteAny thoughts on this caching issue please we are encountering the same problem i.e. we have some xsls defined in MDS - and we call these dynamically by name from an SCA/BPEL process. So at design time the transform is not named in the source. At runtime if we run a transform, then change the xsl and re-run the transform we get the BPEL process ends up using the cached transform.
It looks like a bug has been filed for this.
ReplyDeleteBug 10104439: CHANGES TO MDS ARTIFACTS ARE NOT PICKED UP BY COMPOSITE PROCESSES THAT REFERENCE

Hi edwin,
ReplyDeleteI started working on soa suite 11.1.1.3 a few weeks ago and I was looking on the internet for a way to share artifacts between composite applications and i found your blog in which you talk about MDS.
To be honest I haven’t tried your solution yet because I just finished reading your articles, but I have a few questions for you:
1) How can I subversion artifacts? Shoud I add to my SVN repository the files of the local MDS in which I have the shared artifacts or is there another way to do it?
2) Lets’s imagine that in production environment I have 3 composite applications APP1, APP2 and APP3 which use the same XSD (xsdShared.xsd). to handle data during the process. They are asynchronous applications and let’s suppose that I have a few instances of these applications dehydrated waiting for a callback to dehydrate the process. One day I have to release a new version of APP1 in production. This new version sould use a new version of xsdShared.xsd. To deploy APP1 I have to load the new XSD in the MDS. What does it happen to the pending instances of APP2 and APP3 which are using a previous version of the shared XSD?
Thanks
Matteo
Hi,
ReplyDeleteoff course you need to add your changes to the MDS in subversion. I had a folder where I put in my own MDS app folder and add an extra MDS entry in my adf-config.xml so the jdev build scripts can find the mds artifacts.
Second, always deploy the application with a higher version so new requests will use the new version and the old asyn requests still can use the previous version. and the XSD need to have a different name , put a version in the name and put this next to the other.
when all request are finished you can retire the old version.
thanks Edwin
Hey Edwin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post, We have projects which are inter-dependent like Consumer_proj refers services from Provider_Proj.
And we Build our soa projects from the source control, which should be independent of server.
Currently we use relative urls for service wsdls in Consumer_proj like : file:/Provider_Proj/service.wsdl
- So we are able to build it anywhere irrespective of server is up or not.
- we use config plans to replace these relative urls to actual server urls during deployment.
Could you suggest how can we use MDS in this case.
- Do we need to Source control the local MDS along with soa projects to build it ?
- We need to manually put our wsdls/xsd in the local MDS from the Provider_Proj ?
- In that case we will maintain two local MDS one locally on our dev machines and other in source control.
- Do we need to deploy this to server MDS if we use config plan to replace oramds: urls to actual urls.
- What benefit we will get , employing the MDS approach over our old approach
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks !!

thanks
Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteThanks to you for such a great article. It helped me a lot.
But I have one question.
I have to transfer my artifacts(Xsds and WSDLs) from Jdeveloper to Local MDS.
Manual copying is one option which is there.But I am looking for some way, where I can automate from each project in jdeveloper, artifacts are directly copied to local MDS.
Can you please suggest some steps or ANT scripts for this.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteyou dont need to have 2 local MDS. you can update the adf-config.xml so it uses the local MDS and so you can put the file MDS in your project folder ( subversion ).
If you dont want this you can make a simple ANT script which copies this for you.
thanks Edwin
Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for reply. I have one more question.
Right now, my local repository is at
C:/Oracle/Jdeveloper/integration/seed/apps
Under apps, I have folder ECH. So it is as
apps/ECH/InputServices/CompositeA/
apps/ECH/InputServices/CompositeB/
apps/ECH/InputServices/CompositeC/
CompositeA, CompositeB and CompositeC are under ECH/InputServices/ folder.
Now to deploy all of them, I just give mds.applications= ECH in build.properties file.
That deploys the full ECH folder to SOA_mds.
All is well till this point.
Twist comes when let us say next I need to deploy only CompositeB under ECH/InputServices folder.
For that, I give mds.applications=ECH/InputServices/CompositeB in build.properties file
But when I run deployMDS script.It gives error as Zip file is not created at the location.
So can you please suggest how can I achieve this?
Thanks,
Parshant
Hi,
ReplyDeleteyou can change the include options of the copy step ( add an extra filter condition ) of the "create zip from file MDS store" task.
Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteUsing this scipt, what we upload, goes to apps folder on Server MDS.
I have a requirement to update soa folder on server MDS. Can I do that with this script? Please suggest..
Thanks,
Parshant
Hi,
ReplyDeleteno the soa mds folder is projected but you use the mbeans to modify the soa mds files.
thanks
Great script!
ReplyDeleteGot it working pretty fast
Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteI am using a DB based MDS. Is there a way to remove file/files (myData.dvm) from the MDS instead of the folder (myMDSFolder)?
For example: apps/myMDSFolder/myData.dvm
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI think it is not possible with the ANT scripts but I did it once with the SOA MDS mbean ( open system mbean browser from the EM ), this allows you to do this.
good luck.
thanks edwin
HI Edwin awesome post
ReplyDeletei went exactly the way you explained.
i got success in adding artifacts in mds..
but i how can i delete the articats...
Hi,
DeleteYou can run the undeploy mds target instead of deploy mds , keep in mind it does not delete the folders only the content.
Thanks
Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteIt's an wonderful article for developer to work with MDS shared resource.
I would love to take your suggestion from you regrading our startegy of using common xsd/ref wsdl.
Right now we have created a war project contains all common xsd file and reference wsdl. All composites refers to that web project deployed in same WL domain. e.g, http://host:port/XSDProject/mySharedXDS.xsd, http://host:port/XSDProject/myShareRefWSDL.wsdl
Now my question is, is it a good idea to use xsd/wsdl reference over HTTP or we can go with mds strategy?
Will there be any performance issue w.r.t SOA runtime-
1.Multiple MDS DB hits?
2. Managing additional connection pool for MDS Datasource?
Please provide your valuable suggestion.
Thanks,
Biltu
Hi.
Deletethis can be scary. you must make sure that the war is loaded first before soa-infra. and noway to replace a wsdl of xsd without re-deploying the war again or use an exploded war. but still a lot of work.
MDS is a database, so really fast, ( cache and has its own connection), you can lookup the wsdl or replace the artifacts from jdeveloper. No use of http to lookup.
and with MDS you can a local one on which you develop without effecting others. when finished you sync mds to soa and deploy you composites.
thanks
Thanks Edwin for your quick guidance.
ReplyDeleteWe will follow your approach.
Thanks,
Biltu
Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteWe have created a separate MDS repository for an application (different then mds-soa and mds-owsm).How to upload the artifacts to this repository as ant script seems uploading to default (mds-soa) repository.Is there any way to change repository settings in ant script?
Thanks,
James
Hi ,
DeleteIndeed this is only for SOA Suite but you can use wlst ( \oracle_common\common\bin )
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28271_01/web.1111/e13813/custom_mds.htm#CHDHDCAI
importMetadata(application, server, fromLocation [, docs]

[, excludeExtendedMetadata] [, excludeUnmodifiedDocs]

please help me in that
Hi,
DeleteDid you add a property file to your workspace
like this https://github.com/biemond/soa_tools/blob/master/ant/workspaces/wrkspc1/build.properties
else then it is a configuration error , a project name or a folder is wrong
Thanks
Dear Edwin,
ReplyDeleteI am using above ant script to deploy components to MDS.Its working fine for.
My requirement is , if i changed one of the file now i am deploying entire work space.
is there any way i can deploy only changed file to MDS?
Thanks,
Samba
Hi,
Deleteyou can add 1 entry to mds.applications parameter and only deploy that specific app folder
and inside the app folder you can add your own include or excude filter in the fileset of the zip action
zip destfile="${mds.deploy.dir}/${mds.application}_mds.jar" compress="false"
fileset dir="${mds.reposistory}" includes="${mds.application}/**"/
Thanks
Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteI'am trying to add artifacts (xsd,wsdl,dvm,fault-policies)from the j-developer-common-seed-apps location to mds, by using above given build.properties and build.xml and MDS.sh
In build.properties, I have given all my server details everything & in MDS.sh. And I also created a folder name as lib and i placed the file ant contrib.jar. when i double click on MDS.sh batch file it was giving errors.
Kindly help me out in this, how to add artifacts to mds and remov,what steps i need to take.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
DeleteCan you show me the terminal output of MDS.sh
Thanks Edwin
HI Edwin,
ReplyDeleteChanges in the MDS is not getting in the deployed composites,
Let me explain briefly : i had changed one of the xsd field and deployed in the server,
I can able to see those changes in the mds jar file (while exporting jar file),
But these changes are not picking by the already running composites. i tried below ways to solve this problem, ie..,
1. Restarted the both Admin and SOA server,
2. Redeployed the composties.
but still the issue is not resolved can you suggest me any solution.

Hi,
DeleteStrange, this should work. You use this xsd in a wsdl on the exposed service interface plus using oramds protocol. then in SOAPui or in EM you should see the new XSD
Because probably in BPEL etc you need to change the XSLT or the Assigns to fill this changed xsd.
Thanks

Hi Edwin
ReplyDeleteExcellent blog for deploying the artifacts from the local MDS.
Is it possible when the artifacts are in SVN and not in MDS.
Question :
We are using SVN to store the code and using build tool to deploy the code to different environments. We are not using local MDS to store DVMs but in fact are using an External Directory(created on the SVN server ) and added as a reference in all Projects to use the shared DVM.
The issue is we have a DVM that contains the endpoint URLs of different services which are called depending on the timezone of the server the request came in. We then use the same dvm to reply back to the original calling server.
Now we want to create a Prod copy environment but since it is copy, we want to use a different DVM during deployment based on the build.xml that can search for any DVMs specific for the environment ( if found should over ride the other) if not( then continue using the same existing one).
Is it possible to achieve this considering we are not using local MDS and the ant commands are specific to MDS.
Please help we are not able to figure out a way as we are also not sure whether we are following the correct approach.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
DeleteYou can use hudson which does a svn checkout and deploy this to your SOA DB Mds.
or make a production branch which contains the right dvm and do a checkout of this folder.
and with ANT (SvnAnt) you can add an extra task , checkout to a local temp folder and publish from there
thanks
Hi,
DeleteWe are also using a similar kind of structure to use shared SOA xsds and wsdls (without usinf MDS). We have maintained a folder structure for these on our SVN and on the SOA DOMAIN at %MW_HOME%/domains/SOA_DOMAIN. But we some times face deployment issues randomly for random composites on adding a new artifact to the server location. The error is some thing like oramds:/sharedArtifacts/xsd/xxxx.xsd does not exist. It is clear that the newly added file is not getting recognised during deployment. But we are not facing this problem always with the same composite. So we are unable to find a proper solution other than the server restart. Could someone please help with some ways to solve this problem. I have tried clearing mds cache too but it did not help.
Thanks

Dear Edwin,
ReplyDeleteCould you help with the below question,
1. Created a MDS file store as /scenario parallel to /apps
so it looks like in adf-config.xml as below
For apps:
For scenario:
2. Successfully created jar file for scenario folder structure to deploy into SOA server
3. Deployed jar file into SOA server successfully
4. Exported the soa-infra_metadata.zip - I can see the below folder structure,
apps
deployed-composites
META-INF
scenario
soa
5. When deploy a BPEL process composite(named - sca_BPEL1_rev1.0) in soa-infra using the OEM console with /apps referred deployed successfully.
6. However when deploy the same BPEL process composite(named - sca_BPEL1_rev1.0) in soa-infra using the OEM console with /scenario referred, getting the below error message -
Error Message:
Deploying on partition "default" of "/Farm_soa_domain/soa_domain/SOA_Cluster" ...
Deploying on "/Farm_soa_domain/soa_domain/SOA_Cluster" failed!
There was an error deploying the composite on WLS_SOA1: Deployment Failed: Unable to find a WSDL that has a definition for service {http://xmlns.oracle.com/BPEL1}BPEL1 and port BPEL1. Please make sure that the port attribute for the binding defined in the composite file is correct by checking the namespace service name and port name. In addition check that the WSDL associated with the binding namespace is imported and currently reachable (check the import nodes at the top of the composite file). Finally validate the HTTP proxy settings for the server..
Thanks,
Venkat
Hi,
Deletemaybe you got some hard references in the composite or service components xml's. Everywhere you should use oramds:
Thanks
Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the learning assets.
Just a query on Ant script on SOA deployment. Ref: https://github.com/biemond/soa_tools#ant
Can we do remote deployment as we follow via JDeveloper with just an additional AppServer connection?
Hi Edwin
ReplyDeleteI hope for your reply..
I want to build a soa composite using Maven Script which contains MDS.
I tried with all possible way first I tried with DB based MDS bt now i am trying with File based, MDS
In order to do that i just created a MDS/apps folder to my SOA composite .
In WSDL ,XSD, Dependent XSD Wsdl every where i put the hard coded value of MDS.But I am getting ds error.

Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your valuable info.
I need to deploy schema,Wsdls and DVMs files into DB based MDS through ANT
scripts. So i have created three folders under Batch3 path
