You can use Remote System Explorer to transfer WAR and EAR files to your iSeries host. With Remote System Explorer you can move files between your workstation and your server without using FTP or NetServer file sharing.
The WebSphere Application Server administative consoles for versions 3.5.x and 4.x Advanced Edition require that WAR or EAR files that it is going to install are already on the server's file system (IFS). The administrative consoles for version 5.x and 4.x Single Server Edition are browser based and WAR and EAR files can be installed directly from your workstation or from a path in your server's file system if they have already been transferred there.
To transfer files using Remote System Explorer, follow these steps:
With your WAR or EAR file transferred to your iSeries file system, you can specify it's location directly in the application server's administative console. For example, if you exported your WebFacing project to a file called wfproj.war and transferred the file to
, then in the administative console application install dialog, you can specify the path for your WAR file as /home/my_directory/wfproj.war .(C) Copyright IBM Corporation 1992, 2006. All Rights Reserved.
