Remote deploy with Ant

Hi,
I use Netbeans and I want to deploy remotely an EAR application.
So I reused Ant tasks from example-build.xml (/usr/sap/.../j2ee/deployment/scripts).
All work fine....but when I run 'import_ear' target, I have some errors :
java.io.FileNotFoundException: ..\..\deployment\cfg\logging.properties (The system cannot find the path specified)
and
java.io.FileNotFoundException: ..\cfg\deployment14.properties
Where is "..\" and "..\..\" ? What is the path ?
Next, I try to run "deploy" ant task, but I have :
Engine data validated successfully
Starting deployment for the engine 'server host: 'vincey', server port '50004', user name 'administrator'.'
remoteLoader.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)
An error occured during the deployment.
The result of the deployment is: Error
I think that error occured cause of remoteLoader.properties .
Where should I put this file ?
Thanks

Hi, I did the same for SAPImportEAR. SDA packaging works just fine.
Working on the sapdeploy now, but having the same issue with remoteLoader.properties, should that be extended / re implemented too?
Figured it out. It was a very miss leading error that was shown on the console. There was actually an error in deployment which is stated in the logs, but on the ant console it just throws "remoteLoader.properties not found" Who would think that it was actually trying to deploy!

Remote deploys from Windows to Linux fail with deployment plans on WLS 10.0

Hi there,
We're using WLS 10.0.1 running in a RHEL environment (actually CentOS release 4.7 for development), and attempting to perform remote deploys from Windows work stations using the weblogic.Deployer ant task.
It works fine when not using deployment plans, or when performing a remote deploy from a unix based work station such as a Mac. However, introducing a deployment plan causes a failure only when run from Windows.
The log trace follows:

This is something you should definitely file an Oracle support ticket for. It's entirely possible there's a patch for this.

How to deploy ADF-BC (SDO) with ANT

I have an ADF-BC exposed as an webserivce. I can deploy it via JDeveloper, but how do I deploy it with ANT. Does anyone has an ANT script example, based on ADF-BC

Deploying BPEL with Ant Problems

Hi, I am trying to automate BPEL deployment using HP Deployment Manager, and need to learn how to use Ant to deploy our BPEL processes. I have setup a SOA Suite installation to play around with Ant, but I can't seem to get Ant to work from command line. I am able to deploy a sample process using JDev both by the Deploy option or with the Ant option, but I get errors when using command line.
I navigated to the location of build.xml in a DOS prompt, ran ant, and get the following error:
C:\JDeveloper\jdev\mywork\BPEL\HelloWorld\build.xml:27: Cannot find ${oracle.home}/integration/bpel/utilities/ant-orabpel.xml imported from C:\JDeveloper\jdev\mywork\BPEL\HelloWorld\build.xml
I'm assuming this is because JDeveloper sets up it's own environment variables for running Ant within the IDE - what do I need to do to have it run in command line mode? The deployments will ultimately be run on RHEL4 - but for testing on windows do I need to set these to look like %ORACLE_HOME%, etc in build.xml?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin

Update: Problem solved by setting ORACLE_HOME and BPEL_HOME

Remote-deploy WebLogic with http/https?

Hi,
I want to do remote-deploy on WebLogic from command-line, and using the java-class weblogic.Deployer.
After some experimentation locally, I can only get it to work by using the t3 protocol, like:
java weblogic.Deployer -adminurl t3://localhost:7001/console ...
If I say, instead:
java weblogic.Deployer -adminurl http://localhost:7001/console ...
I get Exception "Destination unreachable" so it seems the client cannot even detect the server.
Is there a way to configure WebLogic, so it will accept http/https-connections for remote-control?

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13702/wldeployer.htm#i1010724
From the documentation:
"In order to use an adminurl with the HTTP protocol, you must enable the HTTP tunneling option in the Administration Console."

Issue with ANT Based Deployment

Hi Guru's,
As part of My development , I am deploying 6 composites with ANT Script. In that 5 Composites are Successfully Deployed on SOA Server.
one Composite Deployment is failing and I am getting the following error
"[deployComposite] ---->response code=500, error:There was an error deploying the composite on soa_server1: Error occurs in applying deployment plan /tmp/sar_base_dir_5e4c0ad0-4b7b-432d-9e0e-684e3509a041/BPELProcess_Sample_cfgplan.xml to sar file: /tmp/sar_base_dir_5e4c0ad0-4b7b-432d-9e0e-684e3509a041/sca_BPELProcess_Sample_rev1.0.jar.: /tmp/soaear_10645.tmp/META-INF (Is a directory)"
Could you please help me in this issue and it is urgent one for me.
Thanks in Advance!!!

Hello Ashok,
This seems quite strange, are you missing any description in the portalapp.xml. Is the par file that you have deployed is a custom developed one.
Just try uploading the par file once again, then click the refresh button, clear cache. then you should be seeing it. No restart of portal is required. Are you missing any type of roles/ groups. As a test could you try to assign the 'Administrators' group to yourself in UME and see whether it was because you miss some authorizations? In anyway Portal didn't have to be restarted.
Thanks,
Jakes.

Remote deployment to Oracle10g AS 10.1.3

How do I migrate existing deployment scripts for 9.0.4 to 10.1.3. Below is my current scripts which doesn't seems to work on 10.1.3.
java -jar oc4j_remote_deploy.jar ... http://localhost:1810/Oc4jDcmServletAPI/ ...

Hello,
OracleAS 10g R3 (10.1.3) is a J2EE 1.4 compliant container of provide all the deployment, management and monitoring capabilities using JMX and related JSRs (77 for administration and monitoring; 88 for deployment).
In 10.1.3, the utility to use do to remote deployment is to use the admin_client.jar that is available in the j2ee/home directory of: the stand alone OC4J, managed OracleAS or JDeveloper.In addition to the command line interface we also provide out of the box support for deployment using apache Ant.
Here some document:

I can deploy my application with ant-sca-deploy.xml without any problems. But I don't get a connection to WebLogic in production mode by using ant-sca-deploy.xml. So I tried to use weblogic.Deployer. weblogic.Deployer gets a connection but doesn't deploy because of "failed to load java type corresponding to e=SOAConfigPlan@http://schemas.oracle.com/soa/configplan"

Thanks for Help.

I assume you have OC4J 10.1.3 webservices installed. Then you should not be using service-config.xml. Check out the 10.1.3 documentation about WebServiceAssembler. I am afraid, you are using 10.1.2 style service-config.xml along with 10.1.3 style WebServiceAssembler.

Remote Office with Location tracking and WIPS

Hey guys,
I have a question about Cisco wireless for remote offices. My client is switching to Cisco for their wireless. The services that is going to be needed are location tracking and WIPS and data. The data part may come later and it is not approved yet. For now, it is going to be just location tracking for rogue devices etc and wIPS.
I know for data we can do Flexconnect, but for location tracking and wIPS, how are we going to deploy this? Does Flexconnect APs would be able to do LBS and wIPS services and data?
We currently have Moto APs deployed with 3 radios which is capable of LBS, wIPS, and data. Basically, the 3rd radio does the LBS and wIPS. Also, we are using the RF-Domain Manager per branch office. I am not sure if Cisco has something similar.
Thanks

So, you could do FlexConnect for the remote offices, but RLDP (wired detection) might not work:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10315/products_tech_note09186a0080b3690b.shtml#anc8
Domain Manager should be similar to PI:

Studio 2 can create/see remote servers but not in remote deployment

In Sun Studio Creator 2, I can create and see my remote servers but when I try to remote deploy my web app from "Deploy to Remote Server", my remote servers do not show up on the list (Only Add Remote Server is there).
On my laptop with the same version of SSC, this is not a problem (I can see the remote servers in the deployment list) so I suspect that the problem is just on my desktop machine. The remote server settings are the same on both machines.
I have tried reinstalling SSC with no success. If anyone has run into this or have any suggestions on how to fix this, I would appreciate it.

SCCM: Application deployment vs Package deployment with requirements and prerequisits.

Hey,
My organization is in the process of implementing a new remote networking solution for all employees, however some employees require additional software vs others. What I am trying to find out is if there is a way to have one package with supersedes and
requirements that we can use to do a massive deployement.
Here are the different scenarios with order of installation:
Financial group Desktop:
1.Install New solution
2.Install Configuration
3.Install Token Authentication
(nothing crazy)
Financial Group Laptops
1.Install Token Authentication
2.Install New Solution
3.Install COnfiguration
4.Un-uninstall Old Solution
5.Un-install Tunnel Guard application (requires a reboot, that's why it's last). (this is the application that would be deployed with requirements to go back up the chain of supersedes (meaning, deploy 5, but do 4, when 4 is triggered, it does 3 first, etc...)
All other laptops
1.Install New Solution
2.Install COnfiguration
3.Un-uninstall Old Solution
4.Un-install Tunnel Guard application (requires a reboot, that's why it's last).(this is the application that would be deployed with requirements to go back up the chain of supersedes (meaning, deploy 4, but do 3, when 3 is triggered, it does 2 first, etc...)
Because of the different requirements, is there a way to have one deployment with multiple deployment types to say based off:
1. Computer types (we have a naming convention that identifies laptops and desktops.
2. Only install certain pieces of software (Token validator in this case if financial application is detected on the machine).
Or should I create different applications for each case with different collections or go with 3 different packages and collections with install this package first set in the package deployment
Thanks for your help.

The problem is the last uninstall, because it's not applicable to all machines. That means that if you would deploy that with all it's dependencies, it wouldn't do anything on the desktops as it's not applicable to them.
In this case, if you want to use one deployment, the easiest solution is a task sequence. That way you can target everything in one time and still build some logic to prevent some (un-)installs.

Change manifest file in existing EAR file with ANT task

Hi,
I use ant task (ojdeploy) to create EAR files from ADF application.
Now I want to add the application version number to MANIFEST.MF.
Is it possible to do the manifest file modification IN THE EXISTING EAR FILE (or while creating the EAR file with ojdeploy) with ant task or do I have to do the modification in the source MANIFEST.MF and after this create EAR file with ojdeploy?
BTW: I tried the <ear> task to create the EAR file instead of using ojdeploy but I was not able to find the needed deployment descriptor (appxml="application.xml") in my ADF appication.
regards
Peter

Hi Peter,
I don't know of a way to do it directly in ANT/ojdeploy. However, you could try exploding the EAR, updating the manifest, and recreating the EAR - cumbersome and slow, but it should work.
