Accessing OpenDeploy

Is it possible to invoke OpenDeploy from a batch file (.cmd file) which is running on a system in the same network as that of Teamsite and OpenDeploy Server ?

You can execute a deployment by calling the iwodstart CLT on the OD base server. If the script is running on that server, it's a simple command-line call.

If your script is running on some other server, then it's harder. There's lots of ways of doing it, but security is always a problem. One way is to set up a telnet server on the OD base server, and have your script log into it from your remote client to call iwodstart. If you're running the OD adm server on the base server (typical), then you could write a CGI or JSP script that could be configured to call iwodstart, and set it up so that CGI/JSP will only execute if envoked from a known-safe client inside your firewall.

Anyone else?

Hi Bob,
Thanks for info.

Actually, I have to run this command from a .cmd file which has a set of commands.

So the .cmd will look as follows:

command1
command2
.....
.....

OpenDeploy invocation command

Other Commands...
.....
.....

so, you can see the way I want to use 'OpenDeploy invocation command'.

Now, can you please tell what will be the command in windows for this.

Thanks in adv.

If the cmd script is running *on* the Base Server machine - it is simply a matter of putting the iwodstart command into the cmd file.

a.cmd:
---------
iwodstart test
---------

Works for me.

If you don't have IWODHOME/bin in your system PATH environment, you'd probably have to modify the above script to be:
---------------
c:\path\to\od-home\bin\iwodstart test
---------------

Thanks fish !!

Actually, this .cmd is running from a different machine.

If it's running from a different machine - then it may not work (I don't have an environment to test it in, sorry) - and then your best bet is to create your own client/server interface such that from your client you can run a command that will communicate with the server piece and have *that* run the actual deployment command.

Good luck,
