System and method for portable partitions in a multitenant application server environment
First Claim
1. A system for supporting the use of portable partitions in an application server environment, comprising:
- one or more computers, including one or more processors and an application server environment that enables deployment and execution of software applications, wherein the application server environment includesa domain configuration that is used at runtime to define one or more domains within the application server environment for execution of software applications, andone or more partitions, wherein each partition, of the one or more partitions, is associated with a partition identifier and a partition configuration, and provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of a domain and can include one or more resource groups, andwherein each resource group, of the one or more resource groups, is a collection of deployable applications or resources that can be defined at one of domain or partition level and optionally reference a resource group template; and
wherein the system enables a partition to be exported from a source domain within the application server environment, and imported to a target domain within the application server environment, including whereina partition archive is created which is associated with the partition in the source domain and includes a partition configuration, resource group or resource group template information, and optionally application binaries, andthe partition archive is used to import the partition to the target domain.

Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing portable partitions in a multitenant application server environment. In accordance with an embodiment, the system enables a partition to be exported from first or source domain (e.g., a test domain), and imported into another second or target domain (e.g., a production domain). During creation or export of a partition archive, the partition archive is created which includes a partition configuration, resource group or resource group template information, and optionally application binaries. The partition archive can also include an interface that allows access to exportable or configurable values associated with the partition. During deployment or import of the partition archive to the target domain, the information in the partition archive, including the exportable or configurable values associated with the partition, are used to configure the partition for use in the target domain.

8. A method for supporting the use of portable partitions in an application server environment, comprising:
-
providing, at one or more computers, an application server environment that enables deployment and execution of software applications, wherein the application server environment includes a domain configuration that is used at runtime to define one or more domains within the application server environment for execution of software applications, and one or more partitions, wherein each partition, of the one or more partitions, is associated with a partition identifier and a partition configuration, and provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of a domain and can include one or more resource groups, and wherein each resource group, of the one or more resource groups, is a collection of deployable applications or resources that can be defined at one of domain or partition level and optionally reference a resource group template; and wherein the system enables a partition to be exported from a source domain within the application server environment, and imported to a target domain within the application server environment, including wherein a partition archive is created which is associated with the partition in the source domain and includes a partition configuration, resource group or resource group template information, and optionally application binaries, and the partition archive is used to import the partition to the target domain. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, including instructions stored thereon which when read and executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform the steps comprising:
-
providing an application server environment that enables deployment and execution of software applications, wherein the application server environment includes a domain configuration that is used at runtime to define one or more domains within the application server environment for execution of software applications, and one or more partitions, wherein each partition, of the one or more partitions, is associated with a partition identifier and a partition configuration, and provides an administrative and runtime subdivision of a domain and can include one or more resource groups, and wherein each resource group, of the one or more resource groups, is a collection of deployable applications or resources that can be defined at one of domain or partition level and optionally reference a resource group template; and wherein the system enables a partition to be exported from a source domain within the application server environment, and imported to a target domain within the application server environment, including wherein a partition archive is created which is associated with the partition in the source domain and includes a partition configuration, resource group or resource group template information, and optionally application binaries, and the partition archive is used to import the partition to the target domain. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
