Migration Process of ADF Application on Weblogic Server & Seamless Integration with Oracle EBS by Pranay Tiwari

In this article, we will be discussing the ADF application Deployment prerequisite, Deployment on Weblogic Server and Integration with Oracle EBS.

We have already discussed in the previous article about the configuration of External Weblogic server in JDeveloper. Now we will see how to deploy it on External Weblogic server through JDeveloper.

Before beginning, the deployment process, below prerequisites needs to be considered.

1.    ADF application should not be deployed on Admin Server of the Weblogic Server. You must deploy it to Manage server if Manage server is not available then ask dba to set up a Manage server.

2.    Once Manager server has been configured, do ensure below libraries are associated with it 

•         adf.oracle.businesseditor(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)   
•          adf.oracle.domain(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)   
•          adf.oracle.domain.webapp(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
•         jsf(1.2,1.2.9.0)
•          jstl(1.2,1.2.0.1)

Look in below screenshot to find libraries 

After configuring the Manage server, now the next step is to find the Data Source, The Data source is responsible for providing database access to the application. Every Data Source has JNDI Name as shown in the below screenshot. This JNDI will be used in ADF application at Application Module (AM) Level for establishing a Database connection.

Look into below screenshot to find navigation for Data source and JNDI Name.

As you can find from below screenshot

Data Source Name : EBSDataSources

JNDI Name : jdbc/testvis

This JNDI name must be configured in the Application Module of the ADF application which we are planning to deploy in Weblogic Server.

Follow below screenshot for detailed Steps

   Go to Application Module à Edit the file

Set the JNDI name : jdbc/testvis

Once JNDI name has been configured in the AM of the Application then the next step is to deploy it on WebLogic server. To commence the deployment process

Go to Applicationà Deploy   Select The Application as mentioned in the screenshot

Then Select “Deploy to Application Server” and Click on Next

After clicking on Next Select the Weblogic server on which you want to migrate ADF Application 

Select the Manage Server from below List, do not choose Admin server

Then Click on Next to Finish it 

Once you Click on Finish  , You can check logs in Jdeveloper to verify whether Deployment has successful or not

You can also verify whether ADF application migration in WebLogic server portal. Login to the WebLogic server Portal, Go to the Deployment and find the application name, In our example case, Application name was ResetNDataEntryApp_application1

Click on “ResetNDataEntryApp_application1” and then click on “Testing” and you can find one URL . That URL is nothing ADF application URL

Now copy this URL and post fix with /faces/<Page.jspx>

For example

http://azolerp01.xxx.com:7403/ ResetNDataEntryApp-ViewController-Context-root/faces/ResetDateEntry.jspx

Now paste  above url in the browser and your page will be displayed

Once it is ensured ADF application working correctly after the successful deployment, the next step will be to call the application from EBS form function. 

Before setting up the Form Function, we need to configure profile option

 " External ADF Application URL" value with  URL generated in the weblogic server. 

Take the url from the below screenshot 

And pasted it as Profile Option Value as shown in below screenshot 

Create the Form function and attach it to MENU to call ADF page from EBS Application

 and in web HTML  we need to write below command 

GWY.jsp?targetPage=<an adf pagee.g. /faces/ModelerHome.jsp>

Example in below screenshot  GWY.jsp?targetPage=faces/ResetDateEntry.jspx

Attach Form Function to Application Developer Menu as shown in the screenshot

Go to Application Developer and Click on the  Menu Function which we have assigned to Application Developer 

Here is your ADF Page  , launching from EBS instance.
