Exporting a Running SOA Composite Application

8-52 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BPM Suite default partition. Note that you cannot rename existing partitions; only creation and deletion of partitions is supported. 1. Access this page through one of the following options: The Manage Partitions page displays the following details: ■ The name of each partition, the number of active and retired SOA composite application revisions in each partition, the name of the composites contained in each partition under the View link, and the total number of running and faulted instances in each partition. ■ A utility for searching for a specific partition. Enter a full or partial partition name and click the Search icon or press the Return key. The search is not case-sensitive.

2. To add a partition, click Create.

The Create New SOA Partition dialog is displayed.

a. In the Name field, enter a partition name, and click Create.

From the SOA Infrastructure Menu... From the Home Page of a Specific Partition... 1. Select Manage Partitions. 1. From the Related Links list of a specific partition, select Manage Partitions. Managing SOA Composite Applications 8-53 You cannot rename an existing partition or later transfer the composite applications you deployed to it to a different partition. The new partition is displayed in both the navigator under soa-infra and the SOA Partition column of the Manage Partitions page. You can now deploy composites to this partition by selecting Deploy to This Partition from the Deployment dropdown list or right-clicking a specific partition in the navigator and clicking Deploy to This Partition. When a composite is deployed to a partition, it is displayed beneath the partition in the navigator. Once deployed, a composite cannot be transferred to a different partition.

3. To delete a partition, select a specific partition and click Delete. Note that you can

also right-click a specific partition in the navigator and click Delete This Partition. The Delete SOA Partition dialog is displayed. Note the following: ■ If you want to re-create some of your composite deployments in another partition, you can export those composites to a JAR file before you delete this partition. ■ Before deleting the selected partition, all SOA composite application revisions in the partition are undeployed. The states of all undeployed instances of these revisions become stale. Note: The name must conform to the following conventions: ■ ASCII letters and numbers are permitted. ■ Underscores _ are permitted. ■ Hyphens - are permitted except as the first character. ■ Non-ASCII letters are permitted. ■ Spaces are not permitted. Examples of valid names are mypartition, partition2, dept-a, customer_services, and 22. Examples of invalid names are -part2, partition, and null or empty names. Note: You must have at least one partition. If you delete all partitions, you cannot deploy a SOA composite application. 8-54 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BPM Suite

a. Click Delete Undeploy All Composites.

All composites that were deployed in the partition are undeployed and no longer appear in the navigator. The partition is then deleted from both the navigator under soa-infra and the SOA Partition column of the Manage Partitions page. For information about performing bulk lifecycle management tasks from the Composites Control and Deployment lists, see Section 8.10.2, Performing Bulk Lifecycle Management Tasks on Composites in Partitions. You can also create partitions with the WebLogic Scripting Tool WLST and ant commands. For information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference and Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle SOA Suite.

8.10.2 Performing Bulk Lifecycle Management Tasks on Composites in Partitions

You can perform bulk lifecycle management tasks on all SOA composite applications in a specific partition on the Manage Partitions page, on the home page of a specific partition, and from the menu that is displayed when you right-click a partition in the navigator. Bulk lifecycle management tasks impact not one, but many, composites at once. If a composite has running instances and a lifecycle changing operation is performed on the composite, the instances may not complete. For information about how different lifecycle operations impact the composite instances, see Step 3 of Section 8.2.1, Managing the State of All Applications at the SOA Infrastructure Level. To perform bulk lifecycle management tasks on all SOA composite applications in a specific partition:

1. Access either page through one of the following options:

From the SOA Infrastructure Menu... From the SOA Folder in the Navigator... 1. Select Manage Partitions. 1. Under soa-infra, select a specific partition.
