Introduction

The final step, after packaging the IBM Cúram Social Program Management application and web services application in .ear files and configuring WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, is to deploy the .ear files to the application server.

Before deploying, it is important to note that in WebSphere Application Server for z/OS the configuration scripts provided with IBM Cúram Social Program Management support a simple configuration targeted at a base server installation of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.

Deployment involves:

• Establishing property files;
• Installing the .ear files;
• Creating a database;
• Optionally, but strongly recommended, pre-compiling the JSPs;
• Testing the application.
