How to update application using wlst

Question

From the console If 1 were to update the application what 1 does is.. 1. Click on deployments. 2. Selects the application name and clicks update option. 3. Here he may change:

i. Source Path
ii. Deployment Plan

Now in my application No Plan path is specified so to update the application I only change the source path. The application gets successfully updated.

I want to update the application using wlst command by giving the new source path. Is it possible?

like

updateApplication('backoffice','path\to\the\ear\file')

Answer 1

In this case I believe the command you are looking for is redeploy:

progress = redeploy('myAppName', appPath='new/path/to/file')
progress.getState()

If you run into errors, you may need to put the new ear file into the original location OR execute an undeploy first, then do a normal deploy.
