Create an image with a WLS domain using WDT

The Image Tool lets you create a customized WebLogic domain in the image using the WebLogic Deploy Tool .

Steps

  1. Create the image, as directed in the Quick Start guide.

  2. Download the WebLogic Deploy Tool , and then add it to the cache store:

$ imagetool cache addInstaller --type wdt --version 0.22 --path /home/acmeuser/cache/weblogic-deploy.zip
  1. Provide the command-line options for the WebLogic Deploy Tool:
$ imagetool create --fromImage myosimg:latest --tag wls:12.2.1.3.0  --version 12.2.1.3.0  --wdtVersion 1.4.0 --wdtArchive /home/acmeuser/wdt/domain1.zip --wdtDomainHome /u01/domains/simple_domain

The parameter mappings between the Image Tool and the WebLogic Deploy Tool are:

Image Tool WebLogic Deploy Tool Default
--wdtArchive -archive_file
--wdtModel -model_file
--wdtVariables -variable_file
--wdtRunRCU -run_rcu false
--wdtDomainHome -domain_home
--wdtDomainType -domain_type WLS

If you do not specify --wdtDomainHome, the domain will be created under /u01/domains/base_domain.

Note: If you are creating a JRF domain and want WebLogic Deploy Tool to create the RCU schemas for you, you can specify the connection information in the model. See Specifying RCU information in the model .
