Deploying the enterprise archive (EAR) on JBoss

With Sterling Warehouse Management System you can deploy different customizations and different versions of the same application on JBoss.

Note:

The doc ear does not contain end-user documentation, such as context-sensitive help files. It contains only development-related documentation, including API Javadocs, ERDs, and XSDs and should not be deployed to a production server. Deploy the doc ear with the application ear on test or development environments. Do not deploy the doc ear on a production environment.

Sterling Warehouse Management System

Multiple EARs or context roots require additional memory for the application server JVM. Testing has shown that the deployment of a second IBM® EAR file requires 2.5 - 3.5 times the memory of a single EAR. Supporting two deployments may require up to 2.5 GB of heap space and 1.2 GB of permanent space.

During installation, you can use JVM-specific arguments in your Sandbox.cfg file, such as ADDITIONAL_ANT_JAVA_TASK_ARGS and ADDITIONAL_ANT_COMPILER_TASK_ARGS, to avoid out-of-memory errors.

Deploy your newly created smcfs.ear file as described in your application server documentation, using the deployEARJboss.xml ant script.

  1. Stop the application server.
  2. Copy the ear file to the deployment directory on the application server (the JBoss installation directory is <servername>/deploy).
  3. Restart the application server.
  4. Log in.
