I successfully deployed war file and wlapp, adapters via server configuration tool and worklight console respectively, I am not able to communicate with the remote server. But from development environment, i am able to communicate with the app server.
Help me someone who have ideas and knowledge on this. Thanks in advance.
If I understand you correctly, after deploying the .adapter and .wlapp to the remote, your app is unable to connect to the remote server.
To me then it sounds like you are not building the app correctly for the remote server. You need to right-click on the application folder and select Run As > Build Settings and Deploy Target, and make sure you are using the correct server values for the remote server. You then need to deploy the .war to the remote application server and when done with that - deploy the .adapter and .wlapp files.
When trying to connect from the newly generated app, it should successfully connect - to the remote server.

I have few adapters deployed in remote uat server.
I want to access them n develop mobile web app in my local worklight server.
Im using IBM Mobilefirst 7.1.0
I tried setting host and contxt path of uat server in mobilewebapp build settings and run the app in my local server. But query call is throwing 404 error.
Can anyone help me in accessing remote adapters in local server.
It would've been easier to help you had you provided information such as where are you setting that connection info and what are you setting... since you're getting 404, this would typically mean that you have incorrectly inputted the connection info.
In MobileFirst Studio, right-click on the application folder and select Run As -> Remote Target and Build Settings. There you need to input the server address:
Host: https://your-server-ip-address:port-number
Context root: /myproj (typically the project name, unless you've specified otherwise in the server.xml of the remote application server).
Hello Folks,
We are recently working on IBM worklight and what we want to try is:
We have two machine, one we want to set as server and other one is for my developer to build the app.
Currently we have installed Apache Tomcat server on the machine which we want to make as server. We even have IBM Worklight installed on it. Now What I want to achieve is to deploy the app from other machine to this server. But I am not able to set up the things properly.
Things done so far:
Installed Apache Tomcat server software on a machine (server)
Installed IBM Installation Manager
I am not getting how will I set up the Worklight Server on this machine. Can anyone provide some information?
You cannot directly deploy from Worklight Studio (the Eclipse plug-in) to a remote Worklight Server.
The steps you need to take are:
Setup your application for a remote server, via the Build Settings and Deploy Target window
Build the app
Take the .wlapp/.adapter file and deploy it to the remote Worklight Server via it's Worklight Console
If you have done any server-related changes (authenticationConfig.xml, Java code, ...) you will need to first deploy the project's .war file to the application server that hosts the remote Worklight Server, and then the .wlapp.
I have read the posts:
IBM Worklight 6.0 - worklightserverhost attribute and the app-builder Ant task
IBM Worklight - How to connect to another Worklight Server located in another machine in the same network?
IBM Worklight 6.0 - application-descriptor.xml
And I think I'm missing something because all them stop with the generation of the wlapp for other servers.
After generating and installing the wlapp it is needed to generate and apk/ipa or "Run As" over the environment to execute that application.
The problem I'm having is that the deployed application in the device points to the development server always and not to the other server I have used for generating the .wlapp files with the (Run As -> Build For Remote Server...).
I have tried deploying the application with the property "publicWorkLighHostname" changed in the worklight.properites but it has no effect.
How do I deploy an application to the device pointing to the desired server?
Thank you.
Run As >> Build All and Deploy / Build specific environment, points to the local development server
Build for Remote Server, points to a server of your choosing
If you perform a Build All and Deploy after a Build for Remote Server, this will overwrite the previous action and the artifacts will again point to the local development machine.
So do a Build for Remote Server. Worklight Studio knows where to put what so that the app will reach the server.
I have setup Worklight Studio in my local Machine and developed a sample application. I need to deploy that application to a Worklight Server set up in another PC in the same network (LAN).
You already have a server in your local machine - Worklight Studio contains an internal Worklight Server. But that doesn't matter...
If you are using Worklight 5.x:
Open application-descriptor.xml
Find the worklightServerRootURL element
Change its value to that of the remote Worklight Server, for example: http://myotherserver:8080
Right-click on the application folder and choose: Run As >> Build All and Deploy
Take the *-all.wlapp and/or *.adapter files from the bin folder and deploy them via Worklight Console that resides in the other server machine.
If you are using Worklight 6.0:
Right-click on the application folder and choose: Run As >> Build for Remote Server
Enter the details of the other server machine (host, port, context root)
Take the *-all.wlapp and/or *.adapter files from the bin folder and deploy them via Worklight Console that resides in the other server machine.
The above assumes that the remote server(s) are configured to accept the applications and/or adapters you will deploy (that is, that you have deployed the .war file of the project; your scenario was not very detailed so my explanations were somewhat lexing).
I have requirement for testing a j2ee application which is deployed in a weblogic server.
I have to get the ear add my testclasses into that and depoly it back.
Since weblogic server takes so much memory , I want to run my testcases to run in another box , connect to the weblogic server and download the ear from there and modify and deploy it back.
I know that it is possible to remotely deploy application in weblogic.
But is it possible to download the application from weblogic ? using JMX ?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks

JMX is for the runtime configuration and management (Java Management Extensions). What you're looking for is much simpler - On the WebLogic console, go to the deployments and click on the application of interest.
Next, figure out what the path of the deployed application is and then manually copy (scp if you're in UNIX) the ear file over to your local directory.
If you don't have access to the hosting server then it's not possible to download the app.
