In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for partition migration in a multitenant application server environment. Each resource group, or partition which includes that resource group, can be associated with a virtual target (e.g., virtual host) information that defines a target to which that resource group or partition should be targeted and deployed. A web tier component (e.g., Oracle Traffic Director) includes a routing information, which maps the virtual target for a partition to a corresponding target such as a server or cluster, so that requests for that partition are directed to the appropriate target, for example as part of one or more sessions. When a partition is migrated, session information is replicated between an original target and a new target, and the web tier component provided with a revised routing information, so that subsequent requests for that partition are directed to the new target.

System and method for partition migration in a multitenant application server environment

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.
