OWSM not installed during OSB domain creation

[alexjfisher]

Hi.

I came across this after installing an OSB domain and then trying to deploy an OSB proxy service to it (using a script that looks a lot like https://github.com/biemond/biemond-wls/blob/master/templates/importOSB.py.erb)

According to https://github.com/biemond/biemond-orawls/blame/master/README.markdown#L123 , the OSB domain template is supposed to install/configure OWSM, but it appears it wasn't. At least for WL 10.3.6 anyway. Perhaps for later versions it does?

I managed to get it working (to a state where I have apparently installed the OSB proxy service), by making a few changes. When installing the OSB domain on WL 10.3.6 an extra addTemplate is included in the template and I also found I had to reconfigure a mds-owsm datasource. https://github.com/biemond/biemond-orawls/compare/master...alexjfisher:owsm

Being a complete OSB newbie none of the above might make any sense. I'd like to open a PR, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be very complete at the moment. eg If what I've done is correct (ish), similar changes should be made to some of the other templates, and/or versions of weblogic??

Thanks, Alex

yeah, I did this in the old wls module( not in orawls) but that one is more for 1 time provisioning

With OSB 12.1.3 it will also install OWSM, for 10.3/11g this is not required & optional and I don't do that because you need to install extra FMW software and pay the license for this.

The problem with OSB deployment in the orawls module is that I need to know the current state of this OSB proxies and its version. So I know what to do. install,update, delete etc.

for wls deployments I did this in the wls_deployment type.

Thanks

Yeah, I had wondered if there was a type I could use for the proxy deployment. I'm not too worried if there isn't, since I've got a one off deployment script that is working for me.

But I do somehow need to get OWSM installed. What if I added a owsm_enabled (defaulting to false) to the domain.pp parameters? For obvious reasons, I don't really want to maintain a fork of the module and would love to get some solution merged. :)

Thanks, Alex

yeah

I think you only need to make a switch in the osb template

and add JRF plus EM after that add the OWSM template.

 print 'Adding JRF Template'
 addTemplate('<%= @templateJRF %>')
 print 'Adding WSM PM Template'
 addTemplate('<%= @templateWSMPM %>')

Probably also need to add some datasource like I did it in the soa/osb domain template but it maybe can work with a File MDS instead of a DB MDS

Thanks. I really appreciate your help. Adding in the JRF template didn't go down so well as it was apparently already selected??

com.oracle.cie.domain.template.dependency.TemplateDependencyException:
The template is already selected.

I've commented out the adding of JRF and am currently rebuilding the server (which will take about 30 minutes or so). https://github.com/biemond/biemond-orawls/commit/2b8e944b8eae27dc2de6ff71ca990f832bb51cfe

Yeah I also got it in comment, but you can surround it with a try except

[alexjfisher]

OK. Done. I'll open a PR with what I've got so far. Even if it does look OK, I'd like to do some more testing before squashing and merging. It appears to work, but with only 4 days OSB experience, I'd prefer to get a colleague to look over it first! :)
