mule server auto deployment details

Question

I am using mmc for deployment of mule based application. All deployed application through mmc goes to apps directory under mule server. If I put an application directly under mule-server/apps, launch the application, application runs successfully, but I am not able to view the deployment details in mmc. Where I need to make the changes in mule server to view the deployed application details in mmc?

I need to make a auto deployment through shell script. For this, I am creating a sample project, create zip file, copy this zip file under mule server apps direction. Finally, once mmc is launched, I need to see the deployed application in mmc for viewing flows, running application, flow analyzer etc.

EDIT

Based on answer given below to deploy a new application, I have given my url as:

curl --basic -u admin:admin -F file=@C:/apps/testserver-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip -F name=test-app -F version=2.0 --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' http://almule1.ux.corp.local:8585/mmc/api/repository

Response I received:

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: multipart {"versionId":"local$5015b8d6-b149-4245-a218-55c12aecc8e7","applicationId":"local$74616cb9-9ecb-4fd6-b167-bf153c8e59fb"}

I am using windows env to deploy in unix server.

Answer 1

MMC retrieves information from Mule ESB, so you shouldn't make any changes. Anyway I think that deploying an application outside MMC is not a good idea. For scripting purposes I would prefer to use MMC Deployments REST API. You can deploy an application by simply running:

Upload zipped application

This uploads your application to MMC.

    curl --basic -u admin:admin -F [email protected] -F name=test-app -F version=2.0 --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' http://localhost:8080/mmc/api/repository 

List available servers

    curl --basic -u admin:admin http://localhost:8080/mmc-console-3.4.0/api/servers

There you should get the server Id (let's suppose it is local$26f2fea8-3b7c-45a7-84a8-d1509e73fca4), then use it in this command:

Create deployment

Before starting your application you need to create a deployment telling MMC to which server, and the id of the uploaded application.

    curl --basic -u admin:admin -d '{"name" : "ExampleDeployment" , "servers": [ "local$26f2fea8-3b7c-45a7-84a8-d1509e73fca4" ], "applications": [ "local$32bb47d3-d180-4bb9-8906-2378dad9ae21" ]}' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' http://localhost:8080/mmc/api/deployments

Perform deploy

Once you have a server and a deployment you can finally start the application.

    curl --basic -u admin:admin -X POST 'http://localhost:8080/mmc/api/deployments/local$97e3c184-09ed-423e-a5a5-9b94713a9e36/deploy'

Here is the auto deployment on windows environment which deploys in Unix server.

Application Name: testserver-1.0.zip

step1: Upload

curl --basic -u admin:admin -F file=@C:/apps/testserver-1.0.zip -F name=auto-deploy-server -F version=1.0 --header "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" http://allmule1.ux.corp.local:8585/mmc/api/repository

Response:

{"versionId":"local$fd507b45-25c2-4cc9-afe9-9f020f685867","applicationId":"local$47bcf1f3-72bc-4c08-ba50-4fe33422199c"}

step2: Get server details:

curl --basic -u admin:admin http://allmule1.ux.corp.local:8585/mmc/api/servers

Response:

{"total":1,"data":[{"agents":[{......,"agentUrl":"https://localhost:7777/mmc-support","version":"3.4.2","name":"Mule-3.4.2","id":"local$5a6c4f81-7b35-425d-95bd-200224f60a2b"}]}

Note: Here server id is: local$5a6c4f81-7b35-425d-95bd-200224f60a2b Get the VERSION ID (not application id) from step 1

step3: deployments

curl --basic -u admin:admin -d  "{\"name\" : \"Auto-Deployment\" , \"servers\": [ \"local$5a6c4f81-7b35-425d-95bd-200224f60a2b\" ], \"applications\": [ \"local$fd507b45-25c2-4cc9-afe9-9f020f685867\" ]}" --header "Content-Type: application/json" http://allmule1.ux.corp.local:8585/mmc/api/deployments

Response:

{"applications":["local$fd...,"name":"Auto-Deployment","id":"local$9062bbe7-75ab-4658-b021-8314b1681511","lastModified":"Wed, 18 Jun 2014 12:27:30.610 PDT"}

Note here Deployment Id: local$9062bbe7-75ab-4658-b021-8314b1681511

Step4: Deploy

curl --basic -u admin:admin -X POST http://allmule1.ux.corp.local:8585/mmc/api/deployments/local$9062bbe7-75ab-4658-b021-8314b1681511/deploy

Response: The deployments were deployed

verify your server console, application might have deployed.

Redeploy

curl --basic -u admin:admin -X POST http://allmule1.ux.corp.local:8585/mmc/api/deployments/local$9062bbe7-75ab-4658-b021-8314b1681511/redeploy
