12. Click the edit icon for each connection and check that the connection settings are

correct for the target environment for example, staging or production. For a Discussion Forum connection shown in Figure 7–14 , for example, ensure that the URL to the Discussions server, and the user account used to connect to the server are correct for the target environment. Figure 7–14 Discussion Forum Connection Settings For WSRP producers, two connections are shown for each producer: a WSRP Producer and a Web Service connection. Typically only the Web Service connection must be changed to the target producer, and this contains four URL endpoints, all of which must be changed. The WSRP Producer connection only configures proxy settings that can be set independent of the default proxy setting for the application server, if this is required. If any connections to portlet producers in the EAR file must be changed to point to producers in the target deployment environment, it is important to change them here. This ensures the portlet customizations are imported to the target producers as the application starts. For more information, see Section 7.1.6, Deploying the Application to a WebLogic Managed Server . Deploying WebCenter Applications 7-19 13. If required, specify additional deployment options such as the Web modules to include in your application or security migration settings.

14. In the Deployment Plan section, click Edit Deployment Plan to optionally edit the

currently selected Deployment Plan.

15. In the Deployment Plan section, click Save Deployment Plan to optionally save

the currently selected Deployment Plan for reuse when you redeploy the application.

16. To start the deployment process, click Deploy.

Fusion Middleware Control displays processing messages.

17. Click Close in the Deployment Succeeded page.

The WebCenter application and its deployment plan is now deployed on the WebLogic Managed Server instance. 18. If you restart the WebLogic Managed Server on which you deployed the application during your Fusion Middleware Control session, refresh the Farm from the Farm menu to update the application status.

7.1.6.5 Deploying Applications Using WLST

To deploy a WebCenter Portal application using the WLST command line, WLST must be connected to the Administration Server. You must invoke the deploy command on the computer that hosts the administration server. To deploy a WebCenter Portal application using WLST: 1. Start the WLST shell. For information on starting the WLST shell, see Section 1.13.3, Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool WLST. 2. Connect to the Administration Server of your WebCenter installation: Note: If any target producers are not reachable as the application starts for the first time, the import fails. After the portlet producer becomes reachable, restart the application and try to import again. If you do not modify producer connections using the Configure ADF Connections page and they are pointing to incorrect but reachable producer locations for example, a producer in a development environment, portlets are imported to the incorrect producers. To remedy, after deployment use Fusion Middleware Control see Section 23.2.1, Registering a WSRP Producer Using Fusion Middleware Control and Section 23.4.1, Registering an Oracle PDK-Java Producer Using Fusion Middleware Control or WLST commands see Section 23.2.2, Registering a WSRP Producer Using WLST or Section 23.4.2, Registering an Oracle PDK-Java Producer Using WLST to modify the producer URL endpoint, and then redeploy the application as described in Section 7.3.2, Redeploying WebCenter Applications Using Fusion Middleware Control . Note: If you configured connections during deployment these are not stored as part of the deployment plan. You must specify these connection details again the next time you deploy.
