I'm writing a WLST script to deploy an application with WebLogic 11g. The problem is that when I deploy an application (version A), undeploy it, then deploy version B, it deploys version A.
If I try to solve this by deleting the tmp/_WL_user/appname/ folder, it then won't deploy A or B because it looks in the tmp folder for the application (and fails because I cleared it out). I'm using the nostage option, so I don't understand why it's caching anything.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Probably the undeploy of Version A was not successful and Version B was never deployed.
Not sure what you have in the WLST script, could you try with the following:
# let's say the appName is testApp
# can move all of these properties to a props file
appName='testApp'
appPath='/scratch/user/testApp.war'
appTarget='AdminServer'
username='weblogic'
password='weblogic1'
adminURL='t3://hostname:adminport'
# start deploy/undeploy code
connect (username, password, adminURL)
for app in cmo.getAppDeployments():
currAppName = app.getName()
if currAppName == appName :
print('Application' + appName + ' already exists, undeploying...')
undeploy(appName)
# sleep is just to make sure that we don't attempt deploy immediately i.e before server is finished with undeploying
# more like a safe side one, may not be required also
java.lang.Thread.sleep(60000)
print('Now deploying ' + appName)
deploy(appName, appPath, appTarget)
disconnect()
