Use WLST to Retrieve Local Application Path

I am currently automating a process of moving Weblogic applications from old servers to new servers. I was unable to find a way to list the local application path for a deployed Weblogic application using WLST. The closest I found was:

appInfo=cmo.getAppDeployments()
for app in appInfo:
    app_path = getPath(app)
    print app_path

which will return something like:

InternalAppDeployments/test.war

This is not the directory I am looking for. I was wondering if someone had some input on how to retrieve the local directory for deployed Weblogic applications.

Solution

  • One easy way to do it with WLST:

    ls('/AppDeployments') # this will list all of the deployments
cd('/AppDeployments/<app name>')
cmo.getAbsoluteSourcePath() # this will list the full path

    Some things you could try instead of WLST:

    Navigate to the /config/ folder and do a:

    grep source-path config.xml

    This will list the full path to the deployment IF that deployment was deployed with nostage staging-mode. Those paths will be relative if the deployment was deployed with stage for the staging-mode, it will be copied to each managed server that was targeted for the deployment and you will get relative paths like you mentioned above...

    Those ear/war files likely live under:

     <domain>/servers/<server name>/stage/<deployment name>

    Or under

     <domain>/sbgen
