I need to deploy an EAR file that is located in sever A to a WebSphere Server located in server B. I need to know how to deploy the EAR from server A to my WAS through command line. I have seared the web but found results only fro WAS 6 (i have WAS 7). does any one know how to deploy an EAR to WAS (in a different server) through command line?

I assume both servers are standalone. If so, use WAS_HOME/bin/wsadmin on server A, and specify the RMI host/port for serverB. If not, specify the host/port of the deployment manager for serverB.

wsadmin -host serverB.host.com -port serverBRMIPortNumber -c '$AdminApp install /path/to/localfile.ear {...options...}'

Note, this is UNIX syntax; for Windows syntax, use "double quotes". Alternatively, you can omit the -c and use interactive mode, or you can use -f file.jacl. Jython scripting is available with -lang jython. See the following for AdminApp install options (e.g., -appname or -usedefaultbindings):
