IBM MFP How can I use mfpdev-cli upload (deploy) the .adapter?

Question

How can I use mfpdev-cli upload (deploy) the .adapter?

I need upload the .zip and .adapter in my MFP project

when I call (in root folder)

 mfpdev app webupdate --build

and I will get projecet.zip in MobileFirst folder

then, I call (not in root folder)

 mfpdev app webupdate --file project.zip

it's success update.

then It the same in adapter

I call (in root folder)

 mfpdev adapter build

and get projectAdapte.adapter in target folder

then, how can I upload this projectAdapte.adapter (not in root folder and not use mfpdev adapter deploy )?

by the way, the adapter and app has been created , I just want to upload to update. — Tsai, Apr 11 '18 at 18:25

If you want deploy an Adapter to the server first build the adapter with command

mfpdev adapter build

-which will generate .adapter file in target folder

To deploy there are two ways

From MFP server console click on Actions->Deploy Adapter-->Brows .adapter file in target folder -->Click on deploy
mfpdev adapter deploy (For this you need to add mfpdev server using mfpdev server add command )

If there are more than adapter to be build and deploy then add all in front of command for ex:

mfpdev adapter deploy all
mfpdev adapter build all

mfpdev app webupdate is used for direct update feature.

For more details about mfpdev cli commands see here: MobileFirst CLI to Manage MobileFirst Artifacts.

And for more details about Adapters see here: Developing Adapters

Is it possible use cli to deploy .adapter?? – Tsai Apr 11 '18 at 18:57
But before that you need add your server details to the terminal using command 'mfpdev server add' follow the links I have given – manjunath kallannavar Apr 11 '18 at 19:06
But I'm not in adapter root folder , I must move .adapter to another folder and upload it (deploy), Is it possible do that? Thanks a lot – Tsai Apr 12 '18 at 00:35
No that is not possible – manjunath kallannavar Apr 12 '18 at 05:02

An Adapter is a separate Maven project. If you are creating multiple adapter in a project then you can put all adapter in a one file.

how can I upload this projectAdapte.adapter (not in root folder)?

You can build & deploy all adapter from project root folder using these command:

mfpdev adapter build all
mfpdev adapter deploy all
