Setting monitored directory deployment values

Before you can use monitored directory deployment, you must enable it. You can optionally change the default monitored directory and polling interval values. By default, monitored directory deployment is not enabled, the monitored directory is app_server_root/monitoredDeployableApps, and the polling interval is 5 seconds.

Before you begin

See topics on monitored directory deployment to determine whether monitored directory deployment offers a suitable way to deploy your enterprise application files:

Restriction: Installing an enterprise application file by adding a file to a monitored directory is available only on distributed and z/OS® operating systems. It is not supported on IBM i operating systems.

About this task

You can use an administrative console or wsadmin scripting to enable or disable monitored directory deployment and change the monitored directory and polling interval.

A monitoredDirectoryDeployment object has the following attributes:

enabled
Default is false. Set to true to enable monitored directory deployment.
monitoredDirectory
Default is USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/monitoredDeployableApps. Optionally set to a different file system directory. To change the default monitored directory, specify a different directory path for this setting. List the entire value for the directory, including the environment variable.

For base (stand-alone) application servers, the default monitored directory is the monitoredDeployableApps/servers/server_name directory of the application server profile.

For deployment managers, the default monitored directories are the monitoredDeployableApps/servers/server_name, monitoredDeployableApps/nodes/node_name/servers/server_name, and monitoredDeployableApps/clusters/cluster_name directories of the deployment manager profile.

pollingInterval
Default is 5 seconds. Optionally set to a different number of seconds. Valid values are 5 or higher. The product changes 0 (zero) or negative values to 5 when the server starts.

Procedure

Results

The product sets monitored directory deployment attributes to the values that you specified.

What to do next
