Functionalities & Features

This chapter presents the built-in functionally and features of DMK.

Alias & Variable Management

The aliases and the variables are declared in the %DMK_HOME%\etc\dmk.conf. The dmk.conf file is split in two sections: GLOBAL and WLS_DOMAIN.

All these steps match to a section from the “%DMK_HOME%\etc\dmk.conf” file. Which are defined by brackets “[…]”, example follows:

[GLOBAL]
##
## WebLogic settings to manually update
##
var::WEBLOGIC_BASE::=::nooption::"D:\app\weblogic"::  # location of weblogic software installation
var::WEBLOGIC_CNF::=::nooption::"D:\app\weblogic\local\etc\weblogic_domains.conf":: #
var::MW_CONFIG_HOME::=::nooption::"E:\\app\weblogic\config"::  # location of weblogic domains 
var::JAVA_HOME::=::nowarn::"D:\\app\java\jdk1.8.0_91"::  # location of weblogic domains
##
##
## below those lines, all environment variables are automatically set
##
var::WLST_JAVA_OPTIONS::=::nowarn::"-Dweblogic.security.SSL.ignoreHostnameVerification=true -Dweblogic.security.TrustKeyStore=DemoTrust"
var::WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_DEF_DIR::=::nooption::"${WEBLOGIC_BASE}\local\etc"::  # location of weblogic domains definition files
var::DMK_WEBLOGIC_BIN_WLST_DIR::=::nooption::${DMK_HOME}\wlst"::  # location of weblogic domains definition files
var::WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_BIN_DIR::=::nooption::"${DMK_HOME}\bin"::  # location of weblogic domains definition files  

[WLS_DOMAIN]
alias::cda::var_noforce::'cd ${WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_HOME}'::
var::WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_DEF::=::nooption::"${WEBLOGIC_BASE}\local\etc\${WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN}"::  # location of weblogic domains definition files
alias::cdc::var_noforce::'cd ${WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_DEF}':: [WLS_DOMAIN]
var::WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_DEF::=::nowarn::"${WEBLOGIC_BASE}\local\etc\${WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN}"::  # location of weblogic domains definition files
alias::cda::var_noforce::'cd ${WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_HOME}'::
alias::cdc::var_noforce::'cd ${WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_DEF}'::
alias::vic::var_noforce::'vi.exe ${WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_DEF}\domain.properties'::

The WebLogic section {WLS_DOMAIN] is set specially for the WebLogic Domains environment. If aliases or variables overwrite a defined one from any other section it will be re-initialized by switching to next environment.
