IBM WebSphere Portal Server 6 using xmlaccess script to deploy

Question

I am new on IBM technologies and my company ask me to realize a portlet on an IBM Websphere Portal Server 6.1 base on IBM AIX OS.

I would like to deploy or update my portlet using a script shell. First question, is there a script that can do this ?

If it is xmlAccess.sh, i tried this command :

/PortalServer/bin/xmlaccess.sh -in deployIL1Portlet.xml -user wasadm -password ********* -url http://localhost:13040/wps/config

deployIL1Portlet.xml content :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<request
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PortalConfig_6.0.1.xsd" 
    type="update">
    <portal action="locate">
        <web-app action="update" active="true" uid="fr.laposte.disf.il1.portlet.QuizPortlet">
           <url>file:///data1/wasWP61IL1D101N1/il1/il1.war</url>
        </web-app>
    </portal>
</request>

I have this error :

EJPXB0006I: Connecting to URL http://localhost:13040/wps/config
EJPXB0002I: Reading input file /data1/wasWP61IL1D101N1/profile/PortalServer/bin/deployIL1Portlet.xml
EJPXB0013E: An error occurred while receiving the response.
EJPXB0016E: An error occurred on the client: sun.io.MalformedInputException

On IBM Forum i found : http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=205808

So i checked into wkplc_comp.properties : XmlAccessPort and WpsHostPort equals 13040

If you have some clue, it will be a real help ! Thanks in advance

You can use the following strategy:

First, install your application through Administration Console. Then, once installed, you could export the webapp configuration to generate an XML file that you can use for future updates via xmlaccess.
