Enhancement Request: Support fixed String for ServerStart - Arguments rather than merge with existing

[pjb2025]

Hi,

I have a usecase where I always want the ServerStart:Arguments for a ManagedServer to match what is specified in the WDT.yml file.

For example:

ServerStart:              
        Arguments: "-Darg1=true -Darg2=false -Darg3=true"

I would like to deliberately overwrite any manual changes made through the WebLogic Remote Console to the ServerStart Arguments.

Currently it looks like the arguments coming from via the WDT.yml are merged in with the existing ServerStart Arguments.

Apart from applying a separate empty-server-arguments.yml with an empty Arguments and then running my actual WDT.yml - is there any way to force the existing value to be dropped and read only from the WDT.yml.

Thanks for any guidance.

@pjb2025 If I understand you correctly, you would like for the ServerStart Arguments in the WDT.yml to replace the existing setting value for Arguments set previously. Is that correct?

@pjb2025 We have discussed your request internally and can see the value of adding support this use case. Unfortunately, it is quite a bit of work so assuming we implement this, it might take a few months to implement it.

@ddsharpe / @robertpatrick - that's good news, thanks very much for considering it.
