OpenDeploy delivery adapter for WebSphere

ang1

Hi,

We are using ControlHub2.0 in solaris environment and I am hoping I can get some pointers from someone with previous experience here.

We want to deploy J2EE apps on WAS app server cluster on AIX boxes and the WAS deployment manager is installed on a separate box. The app servers looks at a separate NetFiler for the .ear file.

We do not have OpenDeploy receiver installed on app servers. It is installed only on the NetFiler where we will deploy the .ear file. I want to check, if we can use OD WAS delivery adapter to install the application on app servers and stop/start app servers.

My question is - which box does the delivery adapter has to run on?

- App server
- Deployment manager server or
- Any other box

Can we run the delivery adaptor on OD receiver (not the deployment mgr or app server) and it can install apps on app servers?

Does the delivery adaptor use IBM's script to install the app? My question here is do we have to install any WAS specific SW on OD receiver in this situation.

Thanks,

Delivery adapter calls I believe xmlaccess to do the push into Websphere.. so this tool needs to be local to the receiver..so some client needs to be there... but you should be able to keep the appserver can be on another machine.
