Deploy Usage

[domain@172.31.17.207:9999 /] deploy --help SYNOPSIS

   deploy (file_path [--script=script_name] [--name=deployment_name]
                     [--runtime-name=deployment_runtime_name]
                     [--force | --disabled] [--unmanaged])
          | --name=deployment_name
          [--server-groups=group_name (,group_name)* | --all-server-groups]
          [--headers={operation_header (;operation_header)*}]

DESCRIPTION

 Deploys the application designated by the file_path or enables an already
 existing but disabled in the repository deployment designated by the name
 argument. If executed w/o arguments, will list all the existing deployments.

ARGUMENTS

file_path         - the path to the application to deploy. Required in case the
                    deployment doesn't exist in the repository.
                    The path can be either absolute or relative to the current
                    directory.

--name            - the unique name of the deployment. If the file path
                    argument is specified the name argument is optional with
                    the file name been the default value. If the file path
                    argument isn't specified then the command is supposed to
                    enable an already existing but disabled deployment, and in
                    this case the name argument is required.

--runtime-name    - optional, the runtime name for the deployment. This will
                    form the basis for such things as default Java EE
                    application and module names. This would typically be the
                    same as --name, and if not specified the value used for
                    --name will be used. In some cases users may wish to have
                    two deployments with the same 'runtime-name' (e.g. two
                    versions of "example.war") both available in the management
                    configuration, in which case the deployments would need to
                    have distinct 'name' values but would have the same
                    'runtime-name'. Within an individual server, only one
                    deployment with a given 'runtime-name' can deployed.
                    However, multiple deployments with the same 'runtime-name'
                    can exist in the configuration, so long as only one is
                    enabled.

--force           - if the deployment with the specified name already exists,
                    by default, deploy will be aborted and the corresponding
                    message will printed. Switch --force (or -f) will force the
                    replacement of the existing deployment with the one
                    specified in the command arguments.

--disabled       - indicates that the deployment has to be added to the
                   repository disabled.

--unmanaged      - if this argument is not specified, the deployment content
                   will be copied (i.e. uploaded) to the server's deployment
                   repository before it is deployed. If the argument is
                   present, the deployment content will remain at and be
                   deployed directly from its original location specified with
                   the file_path.
                   NOTE: exploded deployments are supported only as unmanaged.

--server-groups  - comma separated list of server group names the deploy
                   command should apply to. Either server-groups or
                   all-server-groups is required in the domain mode. This
                   argument is not applicable in the standalone mode.

--all-server-groups  - indicates that deploy should apply to all the available
                       server groups. Either server-groups or all-server-groups
                       is required in domain mode. This argument is not
                       applicable in the standalone mode.

-l               - in case none of the required arguments is specified the
                   command will print all of the existing deployments in the
                   repository. The presence of the -l switch will make the
                   existing deployments printed one deployment per line,
                   instead of in columns (the default).

--headers        - a list of operation headers separated by a semicolon. For
                   the list of supported headers, please, refer to the domain
                   management documentation or use tab-completion.

--script         - optional, can appear only if the file_path points a cli
                   archive. The value is the name of the script contained in a
                   cli archive to execute. If not specified, defaults to
                   'deploy.scr'. A cli archive is a zip archive containing
                   script(s) as well as artifacts or applications to deploy.
                   To be recognized as a cli archive, the extension of the
                   archive file should be '.cli'. The deploy command will
                   execute the script given by the --script argument. All paths
                   in the scripts are relative to the root directory in the cli
                   archive. The script is executed as a batch.

Undeploy Usage

[domain@172.31.17.207:9999 /] undeploy --help SYNOPSIS

   undeploy name [--server-groups=group_name (,group_name)* |
                  --all-relevant-server-groups] [--keep-content]
                 [--headers={operation_header (;operation_header)*}]

DESCRIPTION

   Undeploys the deployment with the given name and, depending on the
   arguments, removes its content from the repository.
   If the deployment name isn't specified, prints the list of all the existing
   deployments.

ARGUMENTS

name             - the name of the deployment to undeploy.

--server-groups  - comma separated list of server group names the undeploy
                   command should apply to. Either server-groups or
                   all-relevant-server-groups is required in the domain mode.
                   This argument is not applicable in the standalone mode.

--all-relevant-server-groups   - indicates that undeploy should apply to all
                                 the server groups in which the deployment is
                   enabled. Either server-groups or all-relevant-server-groups
                   is required in domain mode. This argument is not applicable
                   in the standalone mode.

--keep-content   - by default undeploy, besides disabling the deployment, also
                   removes its content from the repository. The presence of
                   --keep-content will only disable the deployment w/o removing
                   its content from the repository. This argument can be used
                   in both standalone and domain modes.

-l               - in case the deployment name isn't specified, the presence of
                   the -l switch will make the existing deployments printed one
                   deployment per line, instead of in columns (the default).

--headers        - a list of operation headers separated by a semicolon. For
                   the list of supported headers, please, refer to the domain
                   management documentation or use tab-completion.
                         
--path           - optional, points to a cli archive. The path can be either
                   absolute or relative to the current directory. A cli archive
                   is a zip archive containing script(s) as well as artifacts
                   or applications to deploy. To be recognized as a cli
                   archive, the extension of the archive file should be '.cli'.
                   The undeploy command will execute the script given by the
                   --script argument.                          
                         
--script         - optional, can appear only if the file_path points a cli
                   archive. The value is the name of the script contained in a
                   cli archive to execute. If not specified, defaults to
                   'undeploy.scr'. All paths in the scripts are relative to the
                   root directory in the cli archive. The script is executed as
                   a batch.
