WAS 8.5 Network deployment automation/scripting

Question

I'm using Websphere network deployment application server 8.5 on unix environment. I'm updating my existing applications on daily basis from admin console and i change the context root of each application depending upon the environment. I wanted to make this whole deployment process automated using only jythone/wsadmin/shell script. The script will accept the path of the ear which is going to reside on the unix server i.e. /export/opt/was85/temp and other various parameter like cluster name, server name and application name. Can anyone able to help me on this. thanks.

Answer 1

Read out my on IBM on this. This may be exactly what you wanted with little modification in it.

EDIT

You can find more options from this Link which are not covered in the script which I wrote. https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/ae/rxml_taskoptions.html

Answer 2

This information is avaiable in the Infocenter for Websphere, where the jython examples are listed. Here is an example below with the context root update specified.
