Create OHS Domain (Standalone) using WLST

Hello, Oracle Fusion product fans!! In this series of Oracle Fusion technical learning, I would like to share the latest experiment on OHS domain creation using WLST. It's a situation where I've installed OHS Standalone on a Vagrant based CentOS VirtualBox and need to run the OHS instance. I've searched on Google and also in Oracle but there is no such simple code or step that will work without X11 forwarding. Got a thought, There could be similar requirements may be there in a docker container as well. Searched in Github about OHS image creation code there I've learnt how does this WLST help us to create the OHS domain and creates ohs1 component instance within it.

Create OHS Domain standalone mode using WLST script

The magical WLST script looks like this...

#!/usr/bin/python
# Create OHS Domain standalone mode with 'ohs1' as system Component
# Created date  : 12-02-2020

import os, sys

def read_ohsdomain_template():
    """ Select and load the template 
        To create ohs domain
    """
    setTopologyProfile('Compact')
    selectTemplate('Oracle HTTP Server (Standalone)')
    loadTemplates()
    showTemplates()
    
def set_ohsdomain():
    """
    Create OHS System Component by the name ohs1, 
    Configure OHS Listen Port and SSL Port
    """
    cd('/')
    cd('SystemComponent/' + ohs_comp_name)
    set('ComponentType','OHS')
    cd('/')
    cd('OHS/' + ohs_comp_name)
    set('ListenAddress','')
    set('ListenPort', ohs_http_port)
    set('SSLListenPort', ohs_ssl_port)

def set_ohs_nm():
    """
    Set NodeManager user name and password
    """
    cd('/')
    create('sc', 'SecurityConfiguration')
    cd('SecurityConfiguration/sc')
    set('NodeManagerUsername', username)
    set('NodeManagerPasswordEncrypted', password)
    setOption('NodeManagerType','PerDomainNodeManager')
    setOption('OverwriteDomain', 'true')

# Main program Write Domain, close template and exit
if __name__== "main":
    read_ohsdomain_template()
    set_ohsdomain()
    set_ohs_nm()
    writeDomain(domain_path)
    dumpStack()
    closeTemplate()
    exit()

Sample properties file use your favourite editor and create it

nano ohssa_domain.properties

ohs_http_port = 7777
ohs_ssl_port  = 7733
ohs_comp_name = ohs1
domain_name = ohsDomain
domain_path = /u01/app/oracle/fmw/domains
username = weblogic
password = welcome1

Executing this WLST Script is one more trick you need to play!! Navigate to the OHS installed location and then, use the oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh to run the above WLST script 'create_ohsdomain.py'.

OHS_HOME-/u01/app/oracle/fmw/ohs
$OHS_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh -loadProperties ohssa_domain.properties create_ohsdomain.py

ohsDomain directory structure

Add a line to your export lines in your .bash_profile script

export OHS_DOMAIN=/u01/app/oracle/fmw/domains/ohsDomain

and run the .bash_profile script. Now all set to start the OHS NodeManager and then start the ohs1 component from the $OHS_DOMAIN/bin path.

startComponent ohs1

Now open a browser, access the OHS url: http://192.168.33.120:7777

Acessing OHS Console

Hope this wonderful experiment gives you fun and enjoy!! Write your valuable feedback and keep encouraging to see more automation scripts...
