Maven script to deploy MDS (Metadata Services) artifacts in a SOA 12.2.1.4

To create a Maven script to deploy MDS (Metadata Services) artifacts in a SOA 12.2.1.4 environment, you need to use the oracle-maven-sync configuration and Oracle's oracle-maven-plugin to manage the deployment. Below is a sample pom.xml setup and a script to achieve this.

Prerequisites

1. Make sure the Oracle SOA 12.2.1.4 Maven plugin is installed in your local repository or is accessible through a corporate repository.
2. Your environment should have Oracle WebLogic and SOA Suite 12.2.1.4 configured properly.
3. Oracle MDS repository should be set up and accessible.

Maven pom.xml Configuration

Here’s a sample pom.xml file for deploying an MDS artifact using Maven:

xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

Folder Structure

Ensure your project directory is structured like this:

css
.
├── pom.xml
└── src
    └── main
        └── resources
            └── mds
                └── your_mds_artifacts

Place your MDS artifacts (e.g., .xml or .wsdl files) in the src/main/resources/mds/ folder.

Maven Command

To deploy the MDS artifacts, use the following command:

bash
mvn clean install -Psoa-mds-deploy

Key Points

1. repositoryName: The MDS repository name (mds-soa) should match the target repository configured in your SOA environment.
2. serverURL: Replace <admin-server-host> and <admin-server-port> with your WebLogic Admin server’s host and port.
3. username/password: Use the WebLogic Admin credentials to authenticate the deployment.
4. sourcePath: Specify the folder containing your MDS artifacts.

This script configures a Maven build to deploy MDS artifacts to your SOA 12.2.1.4 environment. If you encounter specific errors during deployment, check the logs on the Admin server to ensure correct configurations.
