Deploying and Managing SOA Composite Applications with ant Scripts

You can manage SOA composite applications with the ant utility. ant is a Java-based build tool used by Oracle SOA Suite for managing SOA composite applications. The configuration files are XML-based and call out a target tree where various tasks are executed. The ant utility is well-suited for automation and can be easily integrated into existing release processes.

Note:

Before using the Oracle SOA Suite ant scripts, you must first run the setDomainEnv.sh script (for Linux) or setDomainEnv.cmd script (for Windows). This script adds the necessary JAR files for using ant to the classpath.

Table 48-10 lists the ant scripts available in the Middleware_Home\SOA_Suite_Home\bin directory.

ant-sca-upgrade.xml

Migrates BPEL and Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) release 10.1.3 metadata to release 11g.

Note: If any Java code is part of the project, you must manually modify the code to pass compilation with an 11g compiler. For BPEL process instance data, active data used by the 10.1.3 Oracle BPEL Server is not migrated.
