Deployment of JOB related JAR files using DAR

This is my first try to share my little experience with you all. It may be help you some way. If you find any mistake don't hesitate to leave a post so that I can rectify it as soon as possible.

Today I am going to share with you one simple way to deploy the job related jar files using DAR as BOF module. 

                      

                      I used to deploy all my job related class files or JAR files manually in the location %DOCUMENTUM%\dba\java_methods directory in the Content Server. Method Server will include them in its class path automatically. But every time classes are deployed to the method server, we need to restart the method server .

To implement the method as bof module follow the below details :

1. Create one class to implement  IDfMethod, IDfModule, IDfBusinessObject and in this case we need to implement  IDfMethod instead of  IDmMethod :

package com.test.bof.module;

import java.io.PrintWriter;

import java.util.Map;

import com.documentum.fc.client.IDfBusinessObject;

import com.documentum.fc.client.IDfModule;

import com.documentum.fc.methodserver.IDfMethod;

public class TestBofModule implements IDfMethod, IDfModule, IDfBusinessObject{

@Override

public int execute(Map arg0, PrintWriter arg1) throws Exception {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

return 0;

}

@Override

public String getVendorString() {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

return  " - ";

}

@Override

public String getVersion() {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

return null;

}

@Override

public boolean isCompatible(String arg0) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

return true;

}

@Override

public boolean supportsFeature(String arg0) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

return true;

}

}

2. Implement you business method like below by extending the above class :

package com.test.bof.module;

import java.io.PrintWriter;

import java.util.Iterator;

import java.util.Map;

import java.util.Set;

public class TestJobMethod extends TestBofModule {

public int execute(Map params, PrintWriter arg1) throws Exception {

// TODO Implement your business logic here..

//........

return 0;

}

}

3. Once Business logic is implemented then create one JAR file with your class files and if any other helping classes used.

4. Using composer do the below configuration

      Create one Jar definition :

          

     Create one module and configure like below

     

   

  Then install the dar file in the target repository.

  

Now you can easily do hot deployment of your method implementation without restarting the Method Server.
