WLST: Remote deployment of an application on weblogic
I am trying to deploy an application remotely on WebLogic. I am using WLST in a python script.
I am using deploy command to do that. When I give the path of my war of any location which is accessible to my remote machine all goes well, but when I give any location which is not accessible to remote machine it fails.
Now I know the solution that by default upload is false hence the remote WebLogic needs an access to the war location, but I have tried it with setting upload true but still deployment fails with an error like:
Deployment Message : weblogic.management.ManagementException: [Deployer:149003]Unable to access application source information in '/app/jamagentAdminServer.war' for application 'jamagent_AdminServer'. The specific error is: No application files exist. No stack trace available.
Am I missing something? I am using the command:
deploy('jamagent_'+ServerName,jamagentwarpath+'/jamagent'+ServerName+'.war', targets=ServerName, timeout=600000, upload='true')
so if I remove upload='true' clause and make sure that jamagentwarpath is a location accessible to remote machine, then everything goes fine. I hope I am clear with my question.
Answer
I haven't used the python version, but according to the weblogic.Deployer Command-Line Reference, which should be the identical functionality, you need the -remote option in addition to the -upload option:
Indicates that weblogic.Deployer is not running on the same machine as the Administration Server, and that source paths specified in the command are valid for the Administration Server machine itself.
