Creating an installable EAR file using serviceDeploy

To install an application in the production environment, take the files copied to the production server and create an installable EAR file.

Before you begin

Before starting this task, you must have a JAR file that contains the module and services you are deploying to the server. See Preparing to deploy to a server for more information.

Why and when to perform this task

The serviceDeploy command takes a JAR file, any other dependent EAR, JAR, RAR, WAR and ZIP files and builds an EAR file that you can install on a server.

Steps for this task

  1. Locate the JAR file that contains the module to deploy.
  2. Issue the serviceDeploy command using the JAR file from the previous step as input.

    This step creates an EAR file.

    Note: Perform the following steps at an administrative console.
  3. Select the EAR file to install in the administrative console of the server.
  4. Click Save to install the EAR file.
