How to create a deployment plan for an existing application?

Using WebLogic 10MP1.
I have an existing EAR deployment, and I want to create a deployment plan so I can make changes to it without changing the EAR file itself. My goal is to change the value of the "precompile" flag in all the web modules.
I've read the documentation on creating deployment plans, and it doesn't seem like it's doing anything. That is, I was able to run "weblogic.PlanGenerator" from the command line, but that's about my only success.
The doc says that if you make a change to the app config and save it, that will prompt for a place to save the deployment plan. This seems odd, as I'm pretty sure I've never seen a prompt like that before. It didn't happen for me. As a test, I tried changing the "Deployment Order" field. I activated it, and then I changed it back and activated that. No deployment plan prompt.
I then read that if there is a "plan" subdirectory off the application root containing the deployment plan, WebLogic will use that at deployment. So, I created a "plan" subdir in my EAR tree, put the generated (from "weblogic.PlanGenerator") plan there, and restarted. I didn't notice any log message about the plan, and when I logged into the console to check the "Deployment Plan" tab on the deployment ("Tuning Parameters" subtab), it says "No variables present".
I must be missing some simple detail.

In case anyone else ever has this problem, I've been able to resolve this.
I used "weblogic.planGenerator" on the command line to get a deployment plan to start with. The obstacle I had was actually finding the "Update" button. For some reason I had thought this button the docs refer to was on the "Deployment Plan" tab in the configuration of the deployment. It's actually on the list of the deployments, and is active when the deployment you want to configure is checked.
Once I got there, I was able to enter the path to my deployment plan, which I edited to produce the result I wanted (turning on "precompile" on most of the modules). Once I stored all that and restarted my server, I was able to verify that the server was precompiling on deployment (although it's hard to tell if I don't have any JSP compile errors. :) ).

  • How to create a credit memo for an existing sales order !

    Can any body help for how to create a credit memo for an existing sales order !

    Hi,
    It is actually possible to create credit memos from sales orders though it is not followed in most of the scenarios.
    We have got a scenario in commodity trading that a sales order will be created with positive value. Once the swaps are settled by the portfolio mngt team, if we have to give some money to the payer, then a credit memo will be greated (as in their case all invoices will have only +ve value as net value) with reference to the sales order. In the copy control, the main field to be taken care of at itme level is the PRICING TYPE for which a value of F has to be maintained. This will convert the sign of the values and fix them. Now a credit memo will be created for teh saels order.
    In this case, the document cateogyr of sales order will be C in VBAK, but it will be K in VBFA table which is the table for document flow.
    Hope this answers your question. You can reward if it helps you.
    Otherwise the normal process is
    SALES ORDER---INVOICECREDIT MEMO REQUEST----CREDIT MEMO

  • Deploying reports for a WPF application

    hi,
    we should create and deploy reports for a WPF application. The app is developed in VS 2013, following the MVVM pattern and using Oracle DB.
    We are newbie with this matter, so we are searching the best approach to accomplish the job. Our goal would be detach reports from the deployment package and store them to a server folder, so that users can run them by editing something like:
    http://myserver/myapp/reports/[reportname]
    The issue we are experiencing is that reports seem to be launch from the user's computer, and need a Oracle Client installed on each client computer to load data, while the application works with no Oracle Client installed. We tried both Crystal Reports
    and Report Viewer, and installed an Oracle Client on the report server; but we could not get them to work. we also tried to install ReportViewer Reporting Service, but we dont know how it works. notice that company policies forbid installing Oracle Client
    in the client computers.
    Can anybody give us some hint on what is the correct approach to solve our problem? thanks

    Hi,
    ClickOnce deployment allows you to publish Windows-based applications for simplified installation.
    For how to create Report , You'd better consult following forum:
    #Report Viewer
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=vsreportcontrols
    Oracle and Crystal Reports is third party software,I recommended to consult the software provider directly, I think they can give more precise troubleshooting.

  • How to create different log files for each of web applications deployed in OC4J

    Hi All,
    I am using OC4J(from Oracle) v1.0.2.2 and Windows2000. Now I want to know
    1. how to create different log files for each of my deployed web applications ?
    2. what are the advantages in running multiple instances of oc4j and in what case we should run
    multiple instances of OC4J ?
    3. how to run OC4J as Windows2000 Service rather than Windows2000 Application ?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Kumar.

    Hi Avi,
    First of all I have given a first reading to log4j and I think there will some more easy way of logging debugging messages than log4j (If you could provide me a detailed explanation of a servlet,jsp,java bean that uses log4j and how to use log4j then it will be very helpful for me). The other easy ways (if I am not using log4j) to my problem i.e creating different log files for each of web applications deployed in oc4j are
    I have created multiple instances of OC4J that are configured to run on different ports and so on each instance I have deployed a single web application . And I started the 2 oc4j instances by transferring thier error/log messages to a file. And the other way is ..
    I have download from jakarta site a package called servhelper . This servhelper is a thread that is started in a startup servlet and stopped in the destroy method of that startup servlet. So this thread will automatically capture all the system.out.println's and will print those to a file. I believe that this thread program is synchronized. So in this method I need not run multiple instances of OC4J instead each deployed web application on single instance of oc4j uses the same thread program (ofcourse a copy of thread program is put in each of the deployed web applications directories) to log messages on to different log files.
    Can you comment on my above 2 approached to logging debugging messages and a compartive explanation to LOG4J and how to use LOG4J using a simple servlet, simple jsp is appreciated ...
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ravi.

  • How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?

    1. How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?
    When multiple tables are involved , and the actual number of rows returned is more than what the explain plan tells. How can I find out what change is needed  in the stat plan  ?
    2. Does rowsource statistics gives some kind of  understanding of Extended stats ?

    You can get Row Source Statistics only *after* the SQL has been executed.  An Explain Plan midway cannot give you row source statistics.
    To get row source statistics either set STATISTICS_LEVEL='ALL'  in the session that executes theSQL OR use the Hint "gather_plan_statistics"  in the SQL being executed.
    Then use dbms_xplan.display_cursor

  • How to create a password file for executing psadmin command to deploy portl

    how to create a password file for executing psadmin command to deploy portlet

    What you have done is perfectly right. The password file doesn't have anything else apart from the password
    for example in your case
    $echo password > /tmp/password.txt
    However I remember that in windows install, the Application server used to wait for a user's input when a deploy was to be done for the first time. So Can you read the Release notes or the Readme file which has come with windows.
    The solution was,
    manually use asadmin command of application server to deploy some war (any webapp will do), at this time, a question will be prompted to accept a certificate. once this is done, deploy portlet should work fine!!!

  • How to create and deploy a simple jstl applicaton in weblogic 10.3.3

    How to create and deploy a simple jstl applicaton in weblogic 10.3.3

    1) Since JSTL libraries are provided as Web application libraries, they must be deployed before the Web application that is using JSTL functionality is deployed. The libraries can be deployed using the Administration Console or with the command-line weblogic.Deployer tool.
    Here’s an example of deploying a JSTL 1.2 library using the weblogic.Deployer command-line:
    java weblogic.Deployer -adminurl t3://localhost:7001
    -user weblogic -password weblogic
    -deploy -library
    d:/beahome/wlserver_10.3/common/deployable-libraries/jstl-1.2.war
    This command deploys the JSTL 1.2 library using the default library-name, specification-version and implementation-version defined by the MANIFEST.MF in the library.
    After a library is deployed, the extension-name, specification-version and implementation-version of the library can be found in Administration console. This information can also be found in the MANIFEST.MF file of the library WAR file.
    For more information on deploying a Web module refer below URL
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15051_01/wls/docs103/deployment/deployunits.html
    2) To reference a JSF or JSTL library, a standard web application can define a <library-ref> descriptor in the application’s weblogic.xml file. Here is an example:
    <library-ref>
    <library-name>jsf</library-name>
    <specification-version>1.2</specification-version>
    <implementation-version>1.2.0</implementation-version>
    <exact-match>false</exact-match>
    </library-ref>
    For more information on referencing a Web application library refer below URL
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15051_01/wls/docs103/programming/libraries.html
    3) Create a sample JSP in your application and JSP should look as shown below
    <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>TestJSTL</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <c:set var="topic" value="JSTL" />     
    <c:out value="${topic}" />
    </body>
    </html>
    4) Create WAR and deploy and test.
