OSB 11g ANT deployment scripts

For Oracle Service Bus 10.3 & 11g you can use the ANT / WLST deployment scripts provided by Oracle. With these scripts you can make an export of a project from sbconsole and make a deployment / configuration plan and you can import a project jar to the sbconsole.

I made some changes to these scripts so it only needs one property file, you don't need the import or export.properties files. The second change I made is support for making an export jar from the OSB workspace ( OEPE environment ). Very important to do this on a copy of your workspace or use subversion because you need to delete the .metadata folder for a successful export. ( you will loose all your workspace settings )
Here is the build.properties.
The ANT build.xml
When you want to run the ANT task from CMD then you need these environment variables
You can use these ANT tasks
ant exportFromWorkspace ( do this on a copy of your OEPE workspace )
ant importToOSB
ant exportFromOSB

Or you can run these task in JDeveloper then you need to update these classpath entries for ANT
And run your ANT task from JDeveloper.

  1. Hi,

    I have problem:(
    we are planing to have the osb project in SVN.There are multiple user who will check in their proxy services,business service n all.
    What i want to do is check out this OSB artifacts from svn and deploy it on a server..which has to be automated.
    The problem here is i cannot use ur export from workspace as i will not have .metadata n all.
    So how will i do this automation...I am really confuse..
    Please help me ,ie how will i implement this senario...
    Thanks

  2. Hi,

    with the exportFromWorkspace ANT task, you don't need to have a .metadata folder, better not to have this because this will crash the export.

    just let Continious Integration do a checkout on a temp folder and exportFromWorkspace will delete this .metedata folder and you got an OSB export.

    hope this helps

  3. Hi Edwin,

    can you elaborate on your point about deleting the .metadata folder in order to do a successful export?

    I am using more or less the same scripts, but I can make an export of the sources withiout first deleting the .metadata folder. I did some extra checks (apply changes, import after export etc) but I do not run into any problem..

    Regards,

  4. Hi Tom,

    I have to do it else I get strange java errors without a glue what's wrong with it.

    [java]
    [java] Synchronizing "OSB Configuration"...
    [java] Error during configuration jar export.
    [java] Exporting to c:/temp/sbconfig.jar...

    BUILD FAILED
    C:\projecten\workspace\11g_prod\osb_deployment\Osb\build.xml:58: Java returned: 101


    When I delete this metadata folder then the export utility rebuilds the projects structure and the export is successful.

    When I take a look at the Oracle doc, Then I see that Oracle do the same.

  10. Hi,

    you can add this jar to jdeveloper or to the bat file.

    do you have custom java in it. In my testcases I dont need this class or you can try to generate a weblogic full client instead of the weblogic.jar

    thanks

  11. I did, I am using classpath refid to add jars to the process and I double checked it was bringing it in, but I still get the error

  12. I figured out my issue, check out

  13. I got this working successfully. I had to make a few minor changes.

    There is an issue when the project is deployed it deletes the System which causes issues with the Gobal Settings and causes everything to error...

  14. Hi,

    That why I make a OSB export from a subversion export and not doing it in the OSB workspace.

    and never commit this.

    thanks

  15. Hello Edwin,
    Quick Question...
    Are there any pure ant tasks for OSB?
    I've been using BEA/Oracle Weblogic for a long time, and the ant tasks provided with Weblogic are very usefull. Basically all my app use ant and I would love to keep the same approach for my new OSB apps.

    Thank you.

  16. Hi,

    not pure ANT, you can call wlst from ANT. Maybe in the next big release when it move to JDeveloper

  17. Hi,

    I have the exported sbconfig.jar generated properly and is getting imported in my local OSB11g environment properly. However when I try to do the export and import it in a remote environment, I get the following error:

    [wlst] DomainRuntime MBeanServer is not enabled on a Managed Server.

    The significant difference I could find between my local env and the remote env is that I just have an adminserver running in my local and the remote has and adminserver and a managedserver running. I am trying to do the remote deployment onto the managed server. Please advise.


    Thank you.

    ReplyDelete

  18. Hi,

    can you deploy against the adminserver, maybe that will work.

    thnaks.

    ReplyDelete

  19. A few questions on this remote deployment issue as follows for which I seek your expert advise on the same.

    1. Though the managedserver port is different from the adminserver, I believe I should use the adminserver port to deploy the sbconfig.jar onto the managed server. Am I right?

    2. By any chances, should I add some code to register the managedserver for deploying the sbconfig.jar onto this managedserver.


    Thank you.

    very very useful blog. Keep doign the nice job.
    Just a small question:

    Thanks for this post, it helps alot! I'm having issues getting the java task to run though. I've tried running the "setDomainEnv.cmd" as you suggest in the readme, but I think the classpath ends up being too long. Here is the error I'm seeing:

  24. Hi Edwin,

    In order to get this working without the entire middleware suite being installed locally, I had to copy the following directories into a separate lib directory and point my ant script at that: wlst, osb, oepe, and modules. Altogether this lib directory ends up just under 1 gig.

    So, it doesn't appear that Oracle yet has a way to build OSB projects from source in an IDE agnostic manner, or am I missing something? Basically we need the ability for a separate team to build and deploy from a machine which does not have weblogic, osb, or eclipse on it.

    Please let me know your thoughts!

    Thanks,
    ~sillydino

    ReplyDelete

  25. Hi,

    The way Oracle and BEA works with OSB = using the sbconsole web application. They dont use OEPE. in the next major release you can use jdeveloper which also contains wls etc.

    thanks

    ReplyDelete

  26. Hi Edwin,

    Thanks for the quick response! In that case I think for the build system we may end up rolling our own ant target that produces an importable jar. This way we can hand over a project to a separate team to be deployed, and that team only needs to have standard java and ant libs, plus a few wlst related ones. Basically we will avoid using the eclipse plugin for building at all.

    I'm starting to get the feeling that OEPE is being abandoned by Oracle for JDev? Are you able to confirm this? We've noticed several features missing from OEPE when building Proxy services; for instance, we can't set "service level monitoring" or add "access control" lists to a proxy with an owsm policy on it. Those views that exist inside the sb console (in browser) don't exist in Eclipse. We can hand edit the proxy code to make the changes without Eclipse, but the eclipse plugin won't publish those changes, it just ignores those parts of the source code. So really, having a build-from-source solution will kill two birds with one stone :)

    Do you know if these features that are missing in Eclipse are present in JDev? If Oracle is abandoning OEPE, do you recommend switching to JDev now or later?

    Thanks,
    ~sillydino

  27. Hi,

    I'm starting to get the feeling that OEPE is being abandoned by Oracle for JDev?

    Not really, but I think for OSB, SOA and BPM it is. Oracle wants more productivity and full integration with other products. In the next big release OSB IDE will be in jdev.

    We've noticed several features missing from OEPE when building

    not everything is possible in eclipse and it needs some weblogic configuration, so the sbconsole does this for you.

    you can't switch to jdev now. maybe the best way is to work on the sbconsole and make from there an export.

    thanks

  28. I have a question:

    Is there any possibility to export, with exportFromWorkspace, Global Configuration Settings which are located under System like JNDI Providers ?
    Thanks

    ReplyDelete

  29. Hi Rene,

    If i do a test ( in PS3 ) with an alert in a osb project which needs a global smtpserver then I got this smtpserver entry in the sbconfig.jar when I set config.includeDependencies on true. with false then I dont get this in the export.

  34. Hi,

    that is because I delete the metadata folder in ANT. you can remove this. I did this because sometimes this folder crashes my export.

    with this delete your export still works, but for workshop you need this so only do this from subversion.

    ReplyDelete

  35. Edwin,

    Did/Do you have time to test your scripts against the latest version of OSB? We are facing a huge performance decrease, comparing to the previous version. Creating a config file with JCA Adapters (DB) takes 45 minutes to create. And yes we do not have access to these databases (from our CI server). :-) Look like a timeout issue.

    The log shows, lots of:

    java] [Fatal Error] :1:1: Premature end of file

    ReplyDelete

  36. Hi Marc,

    I checked the export from OEPE, that worked fine without the delete of the metadata folder.

    maybe it checks the weblogic server which is not online in your case.

    what should I check , export from OEPE , import & export OSB server.

    thanks

    ReplyDelete

  37. We solved it:

    We increased the "osgi.bundlefile.limit" property from 500 to 1000.

    <sysproperty key="
    osgi.bundlefile.limit" value="500"/>

    ReplyDelete

  38. Edwin, thank you for these scripts.

    I was able to use it to publish OSB resources from the command line. I was hoping to use it to integrate it into our CI process.

    In fact, this worked great only a week ago. When I tried it again today, it stop working for some reason... I have been trying to determine the root cause without much success.

    It simply hangs (I waited up to an hour) after this output:

  39. hi,

    you can try to remove the delete of the metadata folder, sometimes this is necessary to make an export.

    this will skip the making of the projects.

    thanks

  40. Hi Edwin,
    I tried running the steps you have mentioned. But the export jar that I get after executing exportFromWorkspace does not have the OSB entities that I had created in my workspace - business services, proxy services etc. when I try to import the exported file manually into workspace I dont get anything.

    Could you please help on that? Thanks!

  41. Hi,

    check these parameters
    config.subprojects="EJB,Rest"

    and take a look at the output.

  61. I have the same problem as some othere before me have had here:

    [java] Synchronizing "OSBConfiguration"...
    [java] Exporting to sbconfig.jar...
    [java] Error during configuration jar export.

    Tried to clean out the .metadata folder with no success and the output from the script doesn't give me any clues what so ever what might be wrong now...

  62. Hi,

    Can you check the ant properties settings for the projects settings

    do you see any output

    check the OSB jars I am using in these scripts , they must exists and must match with your PS version.

    Good luck

  63. Hi,

    Undeploy OSB task is availabe in you script?

    ReplyDelete

  64. Hi,

    undeploy is not available in my script and I don't know if this is possible. You can need to check the ALSB mbean operations if this is possible

    ALSBConfigurationMBean = findService("ALSBConfiguration", "com.bea.wli.sb.management.configuration.ALSBConfigurationMBean")

    thanks

  65. Hi,

    I had also this error: [java] Error during configuration jar export.
    but I solved it. I had a problem in my Oracle service bus Configuration. I had to edit file com.bea.alsb.core.prefs which is in folder .settings of my OSB Configuration.

    And I didn't need to delete the .metadata

    But I have a question, is it posible to change some variables. When I am deploying .jar using sbconsole I can uncheck options in Advancet Settings : Preserve Enviroment Variables, Preserve Operational Values. Can I change this options when I am deploying using the Ant script?

    Thx.

  66. Hi,

    Sorry the export options are very limited or well hidden.

    Thanks

  67. Hi Edwin,
    Thanks a lot for the tremendous resource! Is this the oracle recommended/approach for deployment? I didnt find any oracle docs referring to the python scripts? Also, we want to only build the project and apply customization on it so that we could manually deploy it later(i.e stage to prod). do you suggest a regular ANT script to find replace values, since we cant seem to customize the import.py script to replace and then deploy?
    any thoughts,
    Krishna

  68. Hi,

    here are some doc references and I think there are some oracle OSB examples which does the same but not so complete.

    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e15866/tasks.htm#OSBDV127

    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e15866/tasks.htm#OSBDV125

    The deployment changes are done after you deploy to the OSB. no need to this now.

    thanks

    ReplyDelete

  69. Thanks Edwin for the quick response!I found the samples on oracle.However,our prod deployment process is to package the jar and move to stage folder from which point a deployment team takes over. So, can you recommend best strategy only to build jar by applying customization file? Use a custom ANT task or to tweak import.py script?
    Thanks in advance,
    Krishna

  70. Hi,

    this is a bit strange, because you are changing the jar and this is not the same which is tested.

    you can still generate a deployment plan , unzip the jar and make a custom framework which reads and apply the deployment plan.

    good luck

    ReplyDelete

  71. Thanks Edwin for making the point! I failed to envision repackaging the jar. We only want to avoid keeping a hot prod deployment script in another env which is prone to be mistakenly used.

    ReplyDelete

  72. If somebody want to know, you can change Preserve enviroment variable option by editing import.py file. line 54 :

    alsbImportPlan.setPreserveExistingEnvValues(false/true)

    ReplyDelete

  73. J/Edwin,
    Is there a way to create new env variables that are not part of default customization file?

    ReplyDelete

  74. Hi,

    If it is an Mbean property or can do it in à script then it is possible

    Thanks

  76. Hi Edwin

    Great tutorial, got everything working a treat.

    One thing I find disappointing is that Oracle requires me to install a whole heap of s/w (that I will never use such as local instances of WLS, OSB etc)just so I can design OSB flows and export them to a remote server. I guess it will be easier once we have a unified IDE - either Jdev or Eclipse - that sits along side SOA 11g. Not holding my breath tho!

    ReplyDelete

  77. Hi,

    in a year you can do it all from jdeveloper 12c. So I think there will be some alignment with the SOA Suite deployment and I heard also some things about everything in maven.

    thanks

  78. Hi Edwin,
    I have nested Osb projects structure and only one Osb Configuration Project. If I use the Eclipse Workspace, I get shortly after next checkout from SVN repository “out of sync” between my workspace and project files. And without Eclipse workspace I’m not able to create temporary workspace with all projects from my nested Osb project structure.
    I want to do it without Eclipse GUI, only from Command Line. Do you mean, is there a possibility to refresh the existing Eclipse workspace via org.eclipse.equinox.launcher or to create a temporary workspace from a nested project structure, what actually I would prefer.

    Thanks.
    Peter.

  79. Hi,

    you should not check in your eclipse workspace in svn, leave it out.

    Put only your osb projects in subversion. ( these projects needs to be on a different path )

    So create a new workspace and import the projects but leave it on that location ( dont import it into your workspace.)

    thanks

  81. Hi,

    Can you check your classpath and check for the weblogic.jar or generate a wlfullclient and add this.

    Thanks

    ReplyDelete

  82. Hi Edwin,
    I was facing the same problem like MahiMahi above, and added wlfullclient.jar as you mentioned.
    However I am getting the same error.
    Little more detail -- I am getting a successful result when I am running the ant script from command line.
    The problem (this error) arises when I use Hudson to do this.
    Any ideas Edwin?

  83. Hi,

    I was trying to run the ant file using our CI server (hudson). The import is working fine, but the target exportFromWorkspace is not working as expected. I get an error saying that "Exception launching the Eclipse Platform:" This being a separate machine, I had just used the plugin - org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar, as this machine does not have OEPE installed.
    My question is - is it necessary to install OEPE on this machine as well, or is there a way to just include the plugins/jars in any directory and give a reference to that directory in my build.xml.

    NB: This hudson machine builds the OSB artifacts from our SVN repository.

    ReplyDelete

  84. Hi,

    for the export you need to install weblogic, osb and oepe.
    in the export function I am using some jar of the oepe osb extensions.

    don't know if it works with just jars and without oepe and osb installation.

    thanks

  85. Hi,

    Do you have a hudson output and do you run the bat file on the same machine.

    thanks

    1. Hi ,
      when I execute my build.xml it gives me the following error :

    2. Hi,

      what are your property settings, it is something like this

      config.project="OSB Configuration"
      config.subprojects="ASynchronous"
      workspace.dir=C:/Users/Gebruiker/workspace

      this is a bit strange for me

  86. Hi Edwin,

    Very helpful post. I am having a problem though. I am using Hudson to call the ant target 'exportFromWorkspace', but the process hangs after creation of sbconfig.jar. It takes almost 4-5 hours for the next target to call the next target. I am using OSB version 11.1.1.5 and OEPE version 11.1.1.7.2 on a Linux box. Following is the output I get:

    [java] Workspace does not contain any projects; importing project directories in workspace directory...
    [java] Importing project located in "Project_A" directory of the workspace...
    [java] Importing project located in "Project_B" directory of the workspace...
    [java] Importing project located in "Project_C" directory of the workspace...
    [java] Synchronizing "OSB Configuration"...
    [java] Exporting to /my_path/sbconfig.jar...
    [java] Export complete.

    I tried both commenting and uncommenting the delete .metedata folder but to no avail. Please help.

    Thanks in advance,
    Karthik

    1. Hi,

      Does it work without hudson and do you have set all the environment variables in hudson, like the temp folder .

      hope this helps
