Purpose
This tutorial walks you through the steps that are needed to deploy and configure an Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) Java EE Agent

Time to Complete
Approximately 20 minutes

Overview
A common task that is performed using ODI is to deploy and configure an ODI Java EE Agent. With ODI 11g, the Runtime Agent can now be deployed as a Java
EE component within an application server. It benefits in this configuration from the application server layer features such as clustering and connection pooling for
large configurations. This Java EE Agent exposes an MBeans interface enabling lifecycle operations (start/stop) from the application server console and metrics
that can be used by the application server console to monitor the agent activity.

Scenario
Linda works as a database administrator for Global Enterprise. In Global Enterprise, Linda is responsible for performing database management and integration
tasks on various resources within the organization. In particular, Linda is responsible for data loading, transformation, and validation. To begin working on her
projects, Linda created the new Master repository and Work repository. Linda also created the project and the procedure to create a relational table and populate it
with data. Now Linda needs to deploy and configure an ODI Java EE Agent to be able monitor the agent activity via WebLogic server console.

Software and Hardware Requirements

The following is a list of software requirements:
The system should include the following installed products:
Oracle Database 11g
Oracle Data Integrator 11gR1
Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1
If not done before, start the services and components for Oracle Database 11g

Prerequisites
Before you start the tasks, make sure that your system environment meets the following requirements:
1 . Have installed Oracle Database 11g. If not done before, start the services and components for Oracle Database 11g
2 . Have installed Oracle Data Integrator 11gR1
3 . Before attempting this OBE, you should have successfully completed the following OBEs:
ODI11g: Creating and Connecting to ODI Master and Work Repositories
ODI11g: Creating an ODI Project: Developing an ODI XML to Database Transformation Using Interface with ODI
Constraint. Note: Alternatively you may have your own ODI interface created and used for testing ODI JEE agent
. In this case you don't have complete this OBE.

Deploy and Configure a New Domain with WebLogic Server

Oracle Data Integrator provides a wizard to automatically generate templates for deploying Java EE agents in Oracle WebLogic Server. Such a template includes

the Java EE Agent and its configuration, and can optionally include the JDBC datasources definitions required for this agent as well as the drivers and libraries files
for these datasources to work. By using the Oracle WebLogic Configuration Wizard, domain administrators can extend their domains or create a new domain for
the Oracle Data Integrator Java EE runtime agents. The ODI 11g Java EEAgent can be deployed to an existing domain or deployed automatically when creating a
new domain. For the purpose of this lab we will first create the WLS domain, and then extend the domain by depying the Java EE agent. Before creating an ODI
JEE agent, you create a new WLS domain, ODI-DOMAIN. To do so, perform the following steps:
1. To deploy and configure domains with WLS, you start the config.bat from within the ODI Home Install. Start
command shell and change directory to: <WLS-HOME>\common\bin, for example: C:\oracle\Middleware
\Oracle_ODI2\common\bin. Execute config command. The Configuration Wizard starts.

2. In Welcome screen, select Create a new WebLogic domain, and click Next. In the Select Domain Source screen, just
click Next.

Deploy and configure the ODI Java EE agent on the existing WebLogic domain, ODI-DOMAIN.
Now that you have created the WebLogic server domain ODI_DOMAIN, you need to deploy and configure ODI JEE agent with this domain.

1. If not started, start ODI and connect to ODI Work repository (WORKREP1). For user SUPERVISOR, eneter
password: SUNOPSIS. Open Topology Navigator, open Physical architecture and then create a new ODI Agent.
Name this agent OracleDIAgent. Set the port to 8001 and Host to localhost . Verify that the Web application context
is set to oraclediagent , as shown below. Save your new physical agent

Note: The agent name is case-sensitive! Use the exact name OracleDIAgent, as shown in the screenshot.

1 . In the Logical architecture, create a new logical agent with the same name as your new physical agent,
OracleDIAgent . Link this logical agent to the physical agent OracleDIAgent in Global context, as shown below. Save
logical agent OracleDIAgent, and close the tab.

Connecting to the WebLogic server and managed server odi_server1 .

Now that you have created and extended the WebLogic domain with the ODI JEE agent, you need to connect to WebLogic server and managed server
odi_serevr1.
1. In the command shell, change directory to the directory of the WLS Home - C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects
\domains\ODI_DOMAIN\bin . Execute the startweblogic command.

2. Security must be set up for the JAVA EE application to have access to the ODI repository. The entry will be created
within the credential store, which will allow the JAVA EE Agent to authenticate itself to be able to use the required
resources. This user should be a user that is already set up in the ODI Security. In this practice, we use user
SUPERVISOR. To do this, you execute Web Logic Scripting Tool (WLST), connect to our running Admin server and
add the credential store. To start WLST, in the new command window, change directory to the WLS_HOME common

bin - C:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\common\bin, and then execute the command wlst.

3 . To connect to the running Admin server, execute the following command:

connect('weblogic','welcome1','t3://localhost:7001')

4 . Execute the following command to add the correct credential store for ODI Supervisor : createCred
(map="oracle.odi.credmap", key="SUPERVISOR", user="SUPERVISOR", password="SUNOPSIS", desc="ODI
SUPERVISOR Credential").
Note: All commands are case-sensitive! You can copy commands from the text file provided HERE.

5 . IAlso execute the command to add the correct credential store for the domain ODI-DOMAIN :
createCred (map="oracle.odi.credmap", key="ODI-DOMAIN", user="weblogic", password="welcome1",
desc="ODI-DOMAIN Credential").
To exit WLST, execute the command exit() .

OracleDIAgent tab.

Executing an ODI Object with ODI Java EE Agent

With ODI Agent, expand the project and execute the PRGcreate-populate_table procedure that creates and populates a relational table. This procedure was
created in the OBE titled Creating an ODI Procedure to Create and Populate a Relational Table. To access this OBE, click HERE.
1. In ODI designer, right-click the PRGcreate-populate_table procedure and select Execute. In the window that
appears, click the Agent drop-down list and select localagent. Click OK to execute the job with the OracleDIAgent
agent. When the Information screen shows the "Session started" message, click OK.
