Come for answers. Stay for best practices. All we’re missing is you.
Is it possible to run a wsadmin interface remotely in such a way that I could use Jenkins to automatically deploy new BPM applications remotely (from a dev server to a qa server, for example)?
If you are using UrbanCode Deploy, you can take advantage of the BPM plugin:

UrbanCode Deploy can trigger deployments to remote targets, and these deployment processes can be launched from Jenkins:

UrbanCode Deploy supports the notion of deploying to different Environments (which are logical collections of resources on target machines). It enables you to easily promote a deployment from a QA to a PROD environment.
