FMW - boot.properties



In this post, I am writing to create a boot properties in  Linux/Unix and Windows.
Just a recap and for the readers not used to play with Oracle Fusion Middleware / WebLogic, the general steps to build an Oracle Fusion Middleware available are.





  1. Chose the version – and check the certification matrix again your business requirements
  2. Download the software : Oracle Fusion Middleware  + Java
  3. Install the software
  4. Create Domain




Domain creation, when the servers start the startWeblogic.* scripts in the process in an iterative mode, will ask the WebLogic credentials.

The way to avoid that is to provide a file called boot.properties , the location for the file is inside the domain home/servers/<servername>/security ( this folder needs to be created ) .





eg.
Linux/Unix: ${DOMAIN_HOME}/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties
Windows : %domain_home%\servers\AdminServer\security\boot.properties

It means that after the 4 step – the next action will be create that boot.properties file.





Note: In the Windows section, it has the example also for FORMS and REPORTS servers.

Linux/Unix
I will start to export the path to the domain folder.





$ export DOMAIN_HOME=<path_to_domain_folder>




Then Run the bellow script.






if [ -f "${DOMAIN_HOME}/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties"  ]; then
	mv ${DOMAIN_HOME}/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties.backup
	echo "username=weblogic" > $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties
    echo "password=Weblogic01" >> $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties
	cat  $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties
else
    mkdir -p $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security
    echo "username=weblogic" > $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties
    echo "password=Weblogic01" >> $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties
	cat  $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties
fi




Windows
I'm sharing next how to do this in Windows, using PowerShell.

Here I will elaborate more as, these were some of my first scripts in *.ps1.

I took the oportunity to do a similar thing in a diferent way , play with variables declaration/concatenation and load them into another *.ps1 script.

So I created a file with some variable MyVariables.ps1





#Oracle Fusion
$fmw_env='dev'
$fmw_OracleBase='D:\Oracle\'
$fmw_OracleHome=$fmw_OracleBase + '\' + 'middleware_' + $fmw_env

#domain info
$domain_name="my_domain"
$domain_home=$fmw_OracleHome+"\user_projects\domains\"+$domain_name
$domain_admin="weblogic"
$domain_passw="Weblogic01"

#boot.properties file
$adminBootProperties=$domain_home+'\servers\AdminServer\security\boot.properties'
$formsBootProperties=$domain_home+'\servers\WLS_FORMS\security\boot.properties'
$reportsBootProperties=$domain_home+'\servers\WLS_REPORTS\security\boot.properties'




then ,the script for execute the job. Notice the usage of  the special character (`n )in the echo 





. .\MyVariables.ps1

if(![ System.IO.File ]::Exists($adminBootProperties)){
    New-Item -ItemType File -Force -path $adminBootProperties
    echo "username=$domain_admin`npassword=$domain_passw" | Set-Content $adminBootProperties
}

if(![System.IO.File]::Exists($formsBootProperties)){
    New-Item -ItemType File -Force -path $formsBootProperties
    echo "username=$domain_admin`npassword=$domain_passw" | Set-Content $formsBootProperties
}

if(![System.IO.File]::Exists($reportsBootProperties)){
    New-Item -ItemType File -Force -path $reportsBootProperties
    echo "username=$domain_admin`npassword=$domain_passw"  | Set-Content $reportsBootProperties
}









Find and Print Contents
After start the servers this file will be encrypted 





Get-Childitem –Path $domain_home -Recurse -Include *boot.* | cat
