Deploying IBM Content Navigator from a server other than the Oracle WebLogic Server administrative server

If you deploy IBM® Content Navigator from a cluster member rather than from the Oracle WebLogic Server administrative server, the Deploy the Web Application Server task fails. To successfully deploy IBM Content Navigator from a server other than the administrative server you must modify the deployapplication.py script that is generated by the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool.

To deploy IBM Content Navigator from a cluster member in Oracle WebLogic Server:

1. Open the deployapplication.py script in a text editor. The deployapplication.py file is in the configure/tmp subdirectory of the IBM Content Navigator installation directory.
   Important: The file is only in the configure/tmp directory if you run the Deploy the Web Application Server task.
2. Add the upload='true' flag to the end of the deploy stanza. For example,

   deploy(appName, destinationEAR, targets=deployTarget, timeout=600000, 
   securityModel='Advanced', upload='true')

3. Save the changes to the deployapplication.py file.
4. From the command-prompt, change to the Oracle WebLogic Server server/bin directory. For example, on Windows, change to the C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\server\bin
5. Run the following command: setWLSEnd.cmd.
6. Run the following command to start the Oracle WebLogic Server scripting tool: java weblogic.WLST.
7. Run the following command to run the deployapplication.py script: execfile('fully_qualified_name_of_the_deployapplication.py_file'). For example, on Windows, enter execfile('C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\ECMClient\\configure\\tmp\\deployapplication.py').
   Important: On Windows, you must escape each backslash character with an additional backslash character.
8. Confirm that IBM Content Navigator was successfully deployed. When the deployapplication.py script runs successfully, the output from the execfile() command includes the following information:

   Deployment State: completed
   Deployment message: no message
   Done deploying application

9. Exit the Oracle WebLogic Server scripting tool command-line and close the command-prompt window.
