Weblogic.Deployer -remote option

Question

Hi,
using -remote option in weblogic.Deployer I can deploy applications remotely to servers.
Say that I'm deploying apps to remote managed server with port 9001 (admin server port 8001). There is a firewall in between build machine(where I'm deploying apps from) and weblogic server and these two ports are blocked. Is there any way to remote deploy? I know that the app cannot be deployed without these ports open.
Which port is required here to remote deploy?
Note: I dont want to open ports and I dont want to ssh tunnel. right now, the way I'm doing is send the scripts to remote server and then deploy.
If you have any other work around, please post
Thanks,
nlrreddy

Answer 1

Hi Nlrreddy,
Option-A).
You can try configuring the Virtual Host for your Admin And Managed Servers.
http://download-llnw.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/adminguide/web_server.html#103248
After that may be u need to enable Tunnelling as well.
Option-B). Configure a Web Proxy Like (Apache) which runs and Listens on default port 80. Now Enable the Http-Tunneling in Admin Server. Set the Apache to Pass all the requests to Admin WebLogic Server. Now In the Deployer option you can use *"http://ProxyAdderss:proxyPort"* rather than using t3://AdminServerAddress:AdminServerPort
Example:
java weblogic.Deployer -adminurl http://ProxyAdderss:proxyPort -username weblogic -password weblogic -remote -deploy -name complexServiceEar -appversion VesionA -targets AdminServer -source complexServiceEar.ear
