Help: Deploying a website outside the current cluster

Nathan

2005-02-22, 5:50 pm

I need to deploy a site outside the current cluster and have it update
on a regular basis. I know I can configure this using ac /deploy, but I cant
seem to find any good script or script usage examples. Pages are being
added/updated on the stager and I would like those changes reflected
automatically on the target cluster.

I am using the following sample from the MS App Center Resource Kit in a
batch file which is not working:

AC DEPLOY /START [/DEPNAME:depname]
[/SOURCE:sourcename /SOURCEUSER:username /SOURCEPASSWORD:*|pwd]
[/TARGETS:targetname1[,...] /TARGETUSER:username
/TARGETPASSWORD:*|pwd] [/APPNAME:appname1[,...] |
/APPGUID:appguid1[,...]] [/NOACL] [/COMPLUS]
[/WAIT] AC DEPLOY /LISTDEPLOYMENTS [/SOURCE:sourcename]
[/SOURCEUSER:username /SOURCEPASSWORD:*|pwd] AC DEPLOY /TERMINATE
{/JOBID:jobid | /DEPNAME:depname}

What is the error you are getting when running the script?

Thank You

Here is the batch (deploy.bat) file I am using:
AC DEPLOY /START
[/SOURCE:sc-iisdev
/SOURCEUSER:administrator /SOURCEPASSWORD:*|pwd]
[/TARGETS:sc-intra
/TARGETUSER:administrator /TARGETPASSWORD:*|pwd]
[/APPNAME:test ]
[/NOACL]
[/WAIT]
Here is the error:

C:\>deploy

C:\>AC DEPLOY /START
Application Center 2000 Command-Line Utility. (C) Copyright 2000 M
..

Parameter not correct.

The system returned the following error:
One or more parameters or arguments are incorrect.

The parameter is incorrect. (0x80070057)

C:\>[/SOURCE:sc-iisdev
The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\>/SOURCEUSER:administrator /SOURCEPASSWORD:* | pwd]
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Thanks

OK..I changed the batch file to match your example...

AC DEPLOY /START /SOURCE:sc-iisdev /TARGETS:sc-intra
/APPNAME:test /SOURCEUSER:administrator /SOURCEPASSWORD:****
/TARGETUSER:administrator /TARGETPASSWORD:****

I am now getting a different error:
C:\>deploy

C:\>AC DEPLOY /START /SOURCE:sc-iisdev /TARGETS:sc-intra

Deployment started successfully.

If I try and deploy the same application via the "New Deployment" wizard all
runs successfully with no errors which leads me to believe that my batch
file must be using AC Deploy incorrectly....

You need to make sure that the entire command, including all the options, are
on one line. If your using a text editor, it may wrap, but do not put any
carriage returns between the options.

Your batch file is trying to execute each line as a separate command. Batch
language doesn't have a continuation character, so expects the command, with
all it's options, to be on one line.

Hope this helps.

What if you run the exact same script from the target machine, not the
source machine?

Thank You
