Generating your WLS-domain to a WLST-script through configToScript

If you want to generate a WLST-script from your domain, you can use the configToScript WLST-command.

This command has 4 optional parameters:

• configPath : your domain directory; if null, your current directory will be taken
• pyPath : the directory where the script files will be generated
• overwrite : if the script already exists, it will be overwritten
• propertiesFile : path to the properties file of the script
• createDeploymentScript : boolean that indicates if a script will be generated to redeploy the applications in the domain (default value = false)

Start WLST through the wlst.sh script.

wls:/offline> configToScript('/opt/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain/','/home/oracle/wlst_scripts','true','/home/oracle/wlst_scripts/base_domain.properties','true')

configToScript completed successfully The WLST script is written to /home/oracle/wlst_scripts/config.py and the properties file associated with this script is written to /home/oracle/wlst_scripts/base_domain.properties

WLST found encrypted passwords in the domain configuration. 

These passwords are stored encrypted in /home/oracle/wlst_scripts/c2sConfigbase_domain 

and /home/oracle/wlst_scripts/c2sSecretbase_domain. WLST will use these password values 

while the script is run.

wls:/offline> exit()

After this, you can verify the created files:

[oracle@wls12c wlst_scripts]$ pwd

/home/oracle/wlst_scripts

[oracle@wls12c wlst_scripts]$ ls

base_domain.properties  c2sSecretbase_domain  deploy.py

c2sConfigbase_domain    config.py

Optionally, open the base_domain.properties file and modify the value of the domainDir parameter.

Now, we will recreate the domain with the scripts.

Therefore, we first backup and then delete the WLS-domain directory.  Also, it is a good advice to backup your application sources.
Then, we can execute the config.py script through WLST.

Normally, during the first run, you will encounter this error:
Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.AssertionError: JAX-WS 2.2 API is required, but an older version was found in the JDK.

To solve this, go to the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib directory and create the "endorsed" directory, if not exists.
Copy the jars in the $WL_HOME/endorsed directory to this new directory.

Now try again to run the Jython script in WLST.  If successful, you can start up your environment.

I noticed afterwards that my application was not deployed, so I redeployed it with WLST.
