Use WLST to Retrieve Local Application Path

Question

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.

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

This is exactly what I was looking for. I added in the getAbsoluteSourcePath() function and got what I needed. Thank you so much. — ratnapper, Jun 27 '13 at 18:43
