Most important benefit of using command line tool is the ability to merge multiple projects (BPEL, ESB) in to single composite.
Required ANT build files are located under
<JDEV_HOME>\bin
OR
<FMW_SOA_HOME>\bin
Since my machine has got both, i have used FMW_SOA_HOME as ORACLE_HOME
- Set SOA Environment using soaversion.sh (.cmd) located under ORACLE_HOME/bin directory
- Run the Ant project from ORACLE_HOME/bin directory, as follows:
ant -f ant-sca-upgrade.xml -Dsource sourceDir -Dtarget targetDir -DappName app_name
- To combine multiple BPEL projects into a single composite, provide multiple source directories as part of the -Dsource property on the command line. Use colon (:) or a semicolon (;) as path separators. Also use double quotes to identify the multiple source directories to prevent Ant from parsing the input in an unexpected manner
ant -f ORACLE_HOME/bin/ant-sca-upgrade.xml -Dsource "sourceDir1:sourceDir2" -Dtarget targetDir -DappName app_name
This way you will see your multiple projects created under one composite.
