Snapshot WAS Liberty Profile Server

Class Name com.midvision.rapiddeploy.plugins.products.ibm.libertyprofile.tasks.SnapshotTask
Category IBM WebSphere Liberty Profile

Create a snapshot of a WAS Liberty Profile server

Description

This task creates a snapshot ZIP file of a WAS Liberty Profile instance consisting on the specified included and excluded configuration files of the WAS Liberty Profile installation location.

Usage

Using ANT fileset patterns set the included and excluded configuration files you want to be into the snapshot ZIP file.
By default the snapshot file will be saved in the RapidDeploy server in the location specified in the field 'Snapshots Path' of the environment configuration panel. If you want to use a different location (not recommended) you can set it using the 'snapshotDirectory' parameter.
If you select to save the snapshot file in the target server ('saveOnTarget') you need to specify the 'snapshotDirectory' parameter with the location in the target server where you want to save the snapshot file.

Parameters

The following parameters may be set on this task:

Table of task Parameters

Name Type Default Value Optional Description
binaryFilesetExcludes java.lang.String **/tmp*,**/temp* true ANT based comma separated fileset patterns to exclude in a snapshot.
binaryFilesetIncludes java.lang.String **/*.jar,**/*.war,**/*.zip true ANT based comma separated fileset patterns to include in a snapshot.
configFilesetExcludes java.lang.String **/tmpworklog*.log, **/*.jar, **/*.war, **/*.rar true ANT based comma separated fileset patterns to exclude in a snapshot.
configFilesetIncludes java.lang.String conf/*.xml,conf/**/*.xml,conf/*.properties,conf/**/*.properties true ANT based comma separated fileset patterns to include in a snapshot.
downloadBinaries java.lang.Boolean false true When set to true, the binaries filtered by the 'binaryFilesetIncludes' and 'binaryFilesetExcludes' parameters will be downloaded as part of the snapshot.
failOnError java.lang.Boolean true false This task will not fail the deployment on error if set to false.
installationPath java.lang.String   false The top level directory of the WAS Liberty Profile installation. The ANT fileset patterns will be used to select files recursively below this directory to include in a snapshot.
rapiddeployUrl java.lang.String   true The URL of the RapidDeploy server that performs the call to the target server. This URL needs to be complete, including port and context path, e.g.: http://localhost:8080/MidVision. This parameter is used to send back the snapshot file to the host server running the RapidDeploy web application. It does NOT need to be set in most cases.
saveOnTarget java.lang.Boolean false true If set to 'true' the snapshot file will be saved in the target server and not sent back to the RapidDeploy server. This option is not recommended as RapidDeploy can not keep track of the snapshots taken and the snapshot comparison feature can not be used.
skipOnFailure java.lang.String Previous Task Name true Skip current task based on the name of the previous task whether has failed or not.
snapshotDirectory java.lang.String   true The directory location where the snapshots should be stored. This option should be used only when 'saveOnTarget' is set to 'true' or if you want to set a specific snapshot location on the RapidDeploy server (not recommended).
