How to install applications to a WebSphere 7.0 cluster using wsadmin?

Question

I want to deploy to all four processes on a Websphere cluster with two nodes. Is there a way of doing this with one Jython command or do I have to call 'AdminControl.invoke' on each one?

Answer 1

Easiest way to install an application using wsadmin is with AdminApp and not AdminControl.

I suggest you download wsadminlib.py (Got the link from here)

it has a lot of functions, one of them is installApplication which works also with cluster.

Edit:

Lately I found out about AdminApplication which is a script library included in WAS 7 (/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/scriptLibraries/application/V70)

The docuemntation is not great in the info center but its a .py file you can look inside to see what it does.

It is imported automatically to wsadmin and you can use it without any imports or other configuration.

Worth a check.

@aviram-segal is right, wsadminlib is really helpful for this. I use the following syntax:

    arg = ["-reloadEnabled", "-reloadInterval '0'", "-cell "+self.cellName, "-node "+self.nodeName, "-server '"+ self.serverName+"'", "-appname "+ name, '-MapWebModToVH',[['.*', '.*', self.virtualHost]]]
    AdminApp.install(path, arg)

Where path is the location of your EAR/WAR file. You can find documentation here
