weblogic
Overview
This is a highly customizable Puppet profile class to install the WebLogic software and its requirements on your system. At its core, just adding:
contain wls_profile::weblogic
is enough to get the WebLogic software installed on your system.
But sometimes, you have specific uses cases that are not handled well by the standard classes. This profile class allows you to add your own code to the execution.
Stages
Defining and starting a WebLogic Admin Server on your system goes through several stages(These are not puppet stages):
sysctlSet required sysctl parameterslimitsSet OS security limitspackagesInstall required packagesgroups_and_usersCreate required OS users and groupsssh_setupSetup SSH for accountsfirewallSetup the firewalljava_softwareInstall the java softwarewls_softwareInstall the WebLogic softwarewls_patchesInstall the WebLogic patches
All these stages have a default implementation. This implementation is suitable to get started with. These classed all have parameters you can customize through hiera values. The defaults are specified in the module’s data/default.yaml file.
before classes
But sometimes this is not enough, and you would like to add some extra definitions, you can, for example, add a Puppet class to be executed after the packages stage is done and before the groups_and_users is done. You can do this by adding the following line to your yaml data:
wls_profile::weblogic::groups_and_users: my_profile::my_extra_class
after classes
You can do the same when you want to add code after one of the stage classes:
wls_profile::weblogic::firewall: my_profile::my_extra_class
Skipping
Sometimes organizations use different modules and mechanisms to implement a feature, and you want to skip the class:
wls_profile::weblogic::java_software: skip
Replacing
Or provide your own implementation:
wls_profile::weblogic::wls_datasources: my_profile::my_own_implementation
This mechanism can be used for all named stages and makes it easy to move from an easy setup with a running standard WebLogic software installation to a fully customized setup using a lot of your own classes plugged in.
Look at the description of the stages and their properties.
