custom install of weblogic server

[johmicd]

Any plans to implement custom templates like you do for database?

I need to install with out Coherence.

https://github.com/biemond/biemond-orawls/blob/master/manifests/weblogic_type.pp#L179

[biemond]

is this a license thing because on domain level you can already de-select it.

[johmicd]

correct

[biemond]

I hope you are talking about 12c

I am now doing this, https://github.com/biemond/biemond-orawls/blob/puppet4/templates/weblogic_silent_install_1221.rsp.epp

and use WebLogic Server https://github.com/biemond/biemond-orawls/blob/puppet4/manifests/weblogic_type.pp#L95

what is the correct value for this

[johmicd]

sorry but this was version 11 I am working with.

[biemond]

really, that is out of support for a while

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e14142/silent.htm#WLSIG134

see https://github.com/biemond/biemond-orawls/blob/puppet4/templates/weblogic_silent_install.xml.epp

I don't what is the default because I don't specify it.

I'm currently doing this using a resource collector in our profile to override the file resource in weblogic_type.pp.

  $middleware_home_dir = lookup('orawls::weblogic::middleware_home_dir')
  $weblogic_home_dir   = lookup('orawls::weblogic::weblogic_home_dir')
  $download_dir        = lookup('orawls::weblogic::download_dir')
  $install_type        = 'WebLogic Server'   
  $silent_template     = 'profile/oracle/weblogic/weblogic_silent_install.xml.epp'

  # Override the file resource that generates the template, and provide the install_type to it. 
  File <| title == "${download_dir}/weblogic_silent_install_base.xml" |>
    {
      content => epp($silent_template, {
                      'middleware_home_dir' => $middleware_home_dir,
                      'weblogic_home_dir'   => $weblogic_home_dir,
                      'install_type'        => $install_type }),
    }

weblogic_silent_install.xml.epp

<%- |  String $middleware_home_dir,
       Optional[String] $install_type = 'WebLogic Server',
       Optional[String] $weblogic_home_dir = undef | -%>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bea-installer>
<input-fields>
<data-value name="BEAHOME" value="<%= $middleware_home_dir %>" />
<data-value name="WLS_INSTALL_DIR" value="<%= $weblogic_home_dir %>" />
<data-value name="COMPONENT_PATHS" value="<%= $install_type %>" />
</input-fields>
</bea-installer>

install_type is already passed to the template, but it's value is forced to "dummy" in weblogic_type.pp so we need to override that and pass to our custom template.

Not sure if this is really needed anymore.
