This topic describes the steps involved in taking an application
from a test server and deploying it into a production environment.
Before you begin
Before deploying a service application to a production server, assemble
and test the application on a test server. After testing, export the relevant
files as described in
Preparing to deploy to a server and
bring the files to the production system to deploy. See the information centers
for WebSphere
® Integration
Developer and WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment, v6.0 for more information.
Steps for this task
- Copy the module and other files onto the production server.
The modules and resources (EAR, JAR, RAR, and WAR files) needed by
the application are moved to your production environment.
- Run the serviceDeploy command to create an installable
EAR file.
This step defines the module to the server in preparation
for installing the application into production.
- Locate the JAR file that contains the module
to deploy.
- Issue the serviceDeploy command using the JAR
file from the previous step as input.
- Select the EAR file to install in the administrative
console of the server.
- Click Save to install the
EAR file.
- Save the configuration. The module is now installed
as an application.
- Start the application.
Result
The application is now active and work should flow through the module.What to do next
Monitor the application to make sure the server is processing requests
correctly.
