Weblogic Pack and Unpack Utility

1.Packing:

The pack command creates a template archive (.jar) file that contains a snapshot of either an entire domain or a subset of a domain. You can use a template that contains a subset of a domain to create a Managed Server domain directory hierarchy on a remote machine.

Syntax:

pack -domain=domain -template=template -template_name="template_name"

[-template_author="author"][-template_desc="description"]

[-managed={true|false}][-log=log_file] [-log_priority=log_priority]

Example:

$$./pack.sh -domain="/opt/thiru/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/Development" -template="/opt/thiru/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/Development/Development.jar" -template_name="Development"

<< read domain from "/opt/thiru/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/Development"

>> succeed: read domain from "/opt/thiru/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/Development"

<< write template to "/opt/thiru/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/Development/Development.jar"

....................................................................................................

>> succeed: write template to "/opt/thiru/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/Development/Development.jar"

<< close template

>> succeed: close template

2.Unpacking:

Creates a full domain or a subset of a domain used for a Managed Server domain directory on a remote machine. You may use unpack only with a template compatible with your current installation.

Syntax:

unpack -template=template -domain=domain [-user_name=username]

[-password=password] [-app_dir=application_directory]

[-java_home=java_home_directory] [-server_start_mode={dev|prod}]

[-log=log_file] [-log_priority=log_priority]

Example:

$$ ./unpack.sh -template="/home/thiru/Development.jar" -domain="/opt/thiru/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/Testing"

<< read template from "/home/thiru/Development.jar"

>> succeed: read template from "/home/thiru/Development.jar"

<< write Domain to "/opt/thiru/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/Testing"

...............................................................................................

>> succeed: write Domain to "/opt/thiru/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/Testing"

<< close template

>> succeed: close template
