How to Upgrade the Vertical Applications Team Composite

The vertical applications team customizes the new base composite to create a version of the JAR file.

To upgrade the vertical applications team composite:

  1. Check out the application created in Customizing the Vertical Application from source control.
  2. Start Oracle JDeveloper and select the Default Role.
  3. Open the checked-out application.
  4. Select the project node in the Applications window to set the current project context. This is important because the import command in the next step imports the SOA archive into the selected project to upgrade the base.
  5. From the File menu in Oracle JDeveloper, import the new revision of the JAR file created in How to Upgrade the Core Application Team Composite.
  6. From the Tools menu, select Switch Roles > Customization Developer.
  7. Restart Oracle JDeveloper.
  8. In the Customization Context dialog, select a layer and value to customize (for example, select the layer industry and value Communications).
  9. Open the BPEL process to see if the new base composite can be merged with layers for the above selected context.
  10. Review the Log window for potential warnings and errors.
  11. If required, fix errors and warnings by modifying the process. This edits the layers behind the scenes.
  12. Deploy the composite to create the next revision of the customized JAR file and deliver it to the customer for an upgrade.
