using wsadmin to install EAR in websphere portal

[advait...@yahoo.com]

I have a JACL script that I run using wsadmin to install an EAR file. EAR file contains a war file and a jar file.

command to connect to wsadmin:

wsadmin -port 8881
port 8881 is SOAP port for websphere portal server.

JACL command:
$AdminApp install D:/test/DeployTestEAR.ear [list -MapWebModToVH [list [list "TestWebWAR" TestWebWAR.war,WEB-INF/web.xml default_host]] -cell MLBP-0667Node01Cell -node mlbp-0667 -server WebSphere_Portal -appname DeployTestEAR -nodistributeApp -nodeployejb]

But I keep getting this message and EAR does not get deployed:

hi bala,

i tried installing ear through was console, and succeeded, but the portlet contained with in the ear file as not visible in wps admin console: Portlet Management -> Portlets link.

1 more thing, is it OK of package portlet WARs in an EAR file?

[Bala Labhishetty]

Just installing EAR file not completes the procedure, during this time it will copy ear/war files into app server installedapps directory. After this job you need to execute xmlacess script to activate portlets, then you can see this portlets in portal admin pages.

You can read the content in the following url.
