How to pass arguments to a Bash-script

1. Using getopts

1. Create new Shell Script

$ vi test.sh

2. Copy the following line into test.sh file

while getopts p:u:f:n:r: option
do
  case "${option}" in
    p) weblogic_password=${OPTARG};;
    u) weblogic_username=${OPTARG};;
    f) war_file=${OPTARG};;
    n) ws_name=${OPTARG};;
    r) ROLE_NAME=${OPTARG};;
  esac
done

echo ${weblogic_password}
echo $weblogic_username
echo $war_file
echo $ws_name
echo $ROLE_NAME

3.Run the script

$ chmod +x test.sh
$ ./test.sh -p weblogic_password -u weblogic_username -f war_file -n web_name -r role_name

---

2. Using environment variables

See the example below:

#!/bin/sh

OIFS=$IFS;
IFS=",";

usage() {
    cat <<EOF
Usage: $0 [options] [--] [file...]

Arguments:

  -h, --help
    Display this usage message and exit.

  -f <val>, --foo <val>, --foo=<val>
    Documentation goes here.

  -b <val>, --bar <val>, --bar=<val>
    Documentation goes here.

  --
    Treat the remaining arguments as file names.  Useful if the first
    file name might begin with '-'.

  file...
    Optional list of file names.  If the first file name in the list
    begins with '-', it will be treated as an option unless it comes
    after the '--' option.
EOF
}

# handy logging and error handling functions
log() { printf '%s\n' "$*"; }
error() { log "ERROR: $*" >&2; }
fatal() { error "$*"; exit 1; }
usage_fatal() { error "$*"; usage >&2; exit 1; }

# parse options
foo="foo default value goes here"
bar="bar,default,value,goes,here"
barArray=($bar)

while [ "$#" -gt 0 ]; do
    arg=$1
    case $1 in
        # convert "--opt=the value" to --opt "the value".
        # the quotes around the equals sign is to work around a
        # bug in emacs' syntax parsing
        --*'='*) shift; set -- "${arg%%=*}" "${arg#*=}" "$@"; continue;;
        -f|--foo) shift; foo=$1;;
        -b|--bar) shift;
                  bar=$1;
                  barArray=($bar);
                  ;;
        -h|--help) usage; exit 0;;
        --) shift; break;;
        -*) usage_fatal "unknown option: '$1'";;
        *) break;; # reached the list of file names
    esac
    shift || usage_fatal "option '${arg}' requires a value"
done
#arguments are now the file names


echo "foo=" $foo
echo "bar=" $bar
echo "barArray size=" ${#barArray[@]}
for ((i=0; i<${#barArray[@]}; ++i)); do
  echo "bar $i: ${barArray[$i]}";
done

IFS=$OIFS;

Creating WebLogic DataSource Using WLST and Properties File

How to Configure WebLogic DataSource using WLST?

Step 1. Create working directory and Server properties file

Create a directory at the machine that has the Weblogic Server installed on.
Example: (Linux OS) create directory called /home/create_DS
place a properties file like below in this directory with name "server.properties"

domain.name=7001_Domain
admin.url=t3://localhost:7001
admin.userName=weblogic
admin.password=weblogicPassword

datasource.name=jdbc/DS_Name
datasource.database.name=demo

datasource.targets_server=AdminServer
datasource.targets_cluster=cluster_server_1,cluster_server_2

datasource.filename=jdbc_DS_Name.xml
datasource.jndiname=DS_Name
datasource.driver.class=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
datasource.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.1.1:1521/DB_NAME
datasource.username=DB_Username
datasource.password=DB_Password

datasource.test.query=SQL SELECT * FROM DUAL

Step 2. Create createDataSource.py

Now in the same directory write the following WLST Script “createDataSource.py” like following:

from java.io import FileInputStream

propInputStream = FileInputStream("server.properties")
configProps = Properties()
configProps.load(propInputStream)

domainName=configProps.get("domain.name")
adminURL=configProps.get("admin.url")
adminUserName=configProps.get("admin.userName")
adminPassword=configProps.get("admin.password")

dsName=configProps.get("datasource.name")
dsFileName=configProps.get("datasource.filename")
dsDatabaseName=configProps.get("datasource.database.name")

dsJNDIName=configProps.get("datasource.jndiname")
dsDriverName=configProps.get("datasource.driver.class")
dsURL=configProps.get("datasource.url")
dsUserName=configProps.get("datasource.username")
dsPassword=configProps.get("datasource.password")
dsTestQuery=configProps.get("datasource.test.query")

try:
  connect(adminUserName, adminPassword, adminURL)
  edit()
  startEdit()
  cd('/')
  cmo.createJDBCSystemResource(dsName)

  cd('/JDBCSystemResources/' + dsName + '/JDBCResource/' + dsName)
  cmo.setName(dsName)

  cd('/JDBCSystemResources/' + dsName + '/JDBCResource/' + dsName + '/JDBCDataSourceParams/' + dsName )
  set('JNDINames',jarray.array([String(dsName)], String))

  cd('/JDBCSystemResources/' + dsName + '/JDBCResource/' + dsName + '/JDBCDriverParams/' + dsName )
  cmo.setUrl(dsURL)
  cmo.setDriverName( dsDriverName )
  cmo.setPassword(dsPassword)

  cd('/JDBCSystemResources/' + dsName + '/JDBCResource/' + dsName + '/JDBCConnectionPoolParams/' + dsName )
  cmo.setTestTableName(dsTestQuery)
  cd('/JDBCSystemResources/' + dsName + '/JDBCResource/' + dsName + '/JDBCDriverParams/' + dsName + '/Properties/' + dsName )
  cmo.createProperty('user')

  cd('/JDBCSystemResources/' + dsName + '/JDBCResource/' + dsName + '/JDBCDriverParams/' + dsName + '/Properties/' + dsName + '/Properties/user')
  cmo.setValue(dsUserName)

  cd('/JDBCSystemResources/' + dsName + '/JDBCResource/' + dsName + '/JDBCDriverParams/' + dsName + '/Properties/' + dsName )
  cmo.createProperty('databaseName')

  #cd('/JDBCSystemResources/' + dsName + '/JDBCResource/' + dsName + '/JDBCDriverParams/' + dsName + '/Properties/' + dsName + '/Properties/databaseName')
  #cmo.setValue(dsDatabaseName)

  cd('/JDBCSystemResources/' + dsName + '/JDBCResource/' + dsName + '/JDBCDataSourceParams/' + dsName )
  cmo.setGlobalTransactionsProtocol('OnePhaseCommit')

  cd('/SystemResources/' + dsName )

  targets=PyList()
  datasource_targets_server=configProps.get("datasource.targets_server").split(",")
  datasource_targets_cluster=configProps.get("datasource.targets_cluster").split(",")

  for datasourceTarget in datasource_targets_server:
    targetStr='com.bea:Name='+datasourceTarget+',Type=Server'
    targets.append(ObjectName(targetStr))
  
  for datasourceTarget in datasource_targets_cluster:
    targetStr='com.bea:Name='+datasourceTarget+',Type=Cluster'
    targets.append(ObjectName(targetStr))

  set('Targets',jarray.array(targets,ObjectName))

  save()
  activate()
except Exception, e:
  print 'ERROR:'
  print e
  print 'Operation was canceled.'
  undo('true','y')
  cancelEdit('y')
  exit()

Step 3. Running setWLSEnv.sh script

Now Open a Command/Shell Prompt and then run the “setWLSEnv.sh” script to set the CLASSPATH and PATH environment variables. Run the “. ./setWLSEnv.sh” by adding two DOTs separated by a single space …..before the actual script like following : (use ‘cd’ command to move inside the /wlserver_10.3/server/bin) then run the following command…. . ./setWLSEnv.sh
Note: Here The first DOT represents that set the Environment in the current Shell, AND the second ./ represents execute the script from the current directory.

Step 4. Running the createDataSource.py script

Run the Above WLST Script like following:

java weblogic.WLST createDataSource.py

OR

java -cp /<WL_HOME>/wlserver/server/lib/weblogic.jar weblogic.WLST createDataSource.py

Make sure that the Database is running while you are creating the DataSource.
