str or unicode required for replace when discovering WLS 12.1.3 domain

[anatoliatanasov]

Hi there,

Just downloaded the latest version of the WLDT tool and tried to run it against offline (shutdown) domain of version 12.1.3. The command I use is

./bin/discoverDomain.sh -oracle_home /opt/Applications/Oracle/soa_studio_1213 -remote -skip_archive -model_file ./model.yaml -domain_home /opt/Applications/Oracle/soa_studio_1213/user_projects/domains/base_domain

where at /opt/Applications/Oracle/soa_studio_1213 I have installed Oracle SOA Suite Studio 12.1.3 (JDeveloper) plus the integrated WLS.

The outcome of the command above is:

JDK version is 1.8.0_301-b09
JAVA_HOME = /opt/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_301.jdk/Contents/Home
WLST_EXT_CLASSPATH = /opt/Applications/Oracle/weblogic-deploy/lib/weblogic-deploy-core.jar
CLASSPATH = /opt/Applications/Oracle/weblogic-deploy/lib/weblogic-deploy-core.jar
WLST_PROPERTIES = -Dcom.oracle.cie.script.throwException=true -Djava.util.logging.config.class=oracle.weblogic.deploy.logging.WLSDeployLoggingConfig 
/opt/Applications/Oracle/soa_studio_1213/oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh /opt/Applications/Oracle/weblogic-deploy/lib/python/discover.py -oracle_home /opt/Applications/Oracle/soa_studio_1213 -remote -skip_archive -model_file ./model.yaml -domain_home /opt/Applications/Oracle/soa_studio_1213/user_projects/domains/base_domain

discoverDomain.sh completed but with some issues (exit code = 1)

The same error crops up in case the tool is executed against WLS 10.3.6 domain.

1. Are there any WLS versions related limitations of the tool?
2. Do I have to specify any additional CLI args in case running the discovery against older versions of WLS?

Thanks and regards,
A.

The issue is resolved by modifying the ${WLDT_HOME}/lib/typedefs/WLS.json file.
The WLS_12CR1 object's baseTemplate attribute is changed to "Basic WebLogic Server Domain", e.g.:

Reopening after seeing that someone took the assignment.

There is a fundamental problem here we will fix. Your change to the WLS typedef is working around the problem but will break the typedef if used for createDomain.

[anatoliatanasov]

Do you need any details from my side?

[robertpatrick]

No, this is easily reproduced

[robertpatrick]

Fixed in release 3.2.1
