I already do this on the weblogic install step.

https://github.com/biemond/biemond-orawls/blob/master/manifests/weblogic.pp

so you can set these on weblogic.pp , domain.pp etc.
wls_domains_dir => '/opt/oracle/wlsdomains/domains'
wls_apps_dir => '/opt/oracle/wlsdomains/applications'

all domains will be created under these /opt/oracle/wlsdomains/domains and applications folder

or set the following in hiera ( for example common.yaml )

this will be picked by every manifest
wls_domains_dir: &wls_domains_dir '/opt/oracle/wlsdomains/domains'
wls_apps_dir: &wls_apps_dir '/opt/oracle/wlsdomains/applications'

and set these for weblogic install
orawls::weblogic::wls_domains_dir: *wls_domains_dir
orawls::weblogic::wls_apps_dir: *wls_apps_dir

from biemond-orawls.

Do both settings have to be set in order for it to work?

Hrmmmm, maybe I need to try a clean box, but that parent directory is not being created for me.

wls_domains_dir: &wls_domains_dir "/projects"
wls_apps_dir: &wls_apps_dir "/projects/%{::tiaa_weblogic_domain}/applications"

Notice: /Stage[main]/Weblogic::Domains/Orawls::Domain[domain]/File[/projects]/mode: mode changed '0755' to '0775'

It is failing to create /projects/ADAMTEST/applications because it doesn't exist on the first run.

After the first run, that directory exists for the domains_dir.

from biemond-orawls.

you should use these values

wls_domains_dir: &wls_domains_dir " /projects/ADAMTEST/domains"
wls_apps_dir: &wls_apps_dir " /projects/ADAMTEST/applications"

from biemond-orawls.

When I do that, I end up with /projects/ADAMTEST/domains/ADAMTEST for the domains directory.

That was the first thing I tried, and it failed.

from biemond-orawls.

yeah , you should replace 1st ADAMTEST with user_projects or wlsdomains. is the same as under the middleware home.

from biemond-orawls.

This is the requested location from my customer really, they want the domain home to be: /projects/${domain-name}.

So, I want my wls_domains_dir to be just "/projects" I assume. The next question is does the wls_apps_dir have to be based on that path as well?

Do you know what goes in the applications folder as well? And does it need to live alongside the domains directory or can it be elsewhere (meaning, do both of these items need to be changed together)?

from biemond-orawls.

you can look at the mdw home user projects folder, it uses the same principle.

ok but you need a separate apps folder for the EM ear etc but with plain wls this probably will be empty.
So you can use /projects as domain folder and for the apps set it to /tmp/xxxx or /projects_apps

from biemond-orawls.

I see. I am running a test right now with:

12.1.2 settings

wls_middleware_home_dir: &wls_middleware_home_dir "/app/oracle/middleware12c"
wls_weblogic_home_dir: &wls_weblogic_home_dir "/app/oracle/middleware12c/wlserver"
wls_domains_dir: &wls_domains_dir "/projects"
wls_apps_dir: &wls_apps_dir "/app/oracle/middleware12c/applications"
wls_version: &wls_version 1212

I just didn't know if they both had to have the same base directory or anything. Just when I read your directions here: https://github.com/biemond/biemond-orawls#override-the-default-weblogic-domain-folder it sounded like maybe they both had to change.

from biemond-orawls.

As always, thanks for the responses and help. I just set the wls_domains_dir to /projects (an existing mounted directory for me) and it all works fine. The settings above seem to work great for me.
