Introduction to Use Cases for a Configuration Plan

The following steps provide an overview of how to use a configuration plan when moving from development to testing environments:

  1. User A creates SOA composite application Foo.

  2. User A deploys Foo to a development server, fixes bugs, and refines the process until it is ready to test in the staging area.

  3. User A creates and edits a configuration plan for Foo, which enables the URLs and properties in the application to be modified to match the testing environment.

  4. User A deploys Foo to the testing server using Oracle JDeveloper or a series of command-line scripts (can be WLST-based). The configuration plan created in Step 3 modifies the URLs and properties in Foo.

  5. User A deploys SOA composite application Bar in the future and applies the same plan during deployment. The URLs and properties are also modified.
