Deploying a J2EE Application and J2EE Application Component 

Use

At the end of the deployment process you must deploy your J2EE application or J2EE application component on a J2EE Engine. Once you have deployed the application or component, you can start, stop, update and undeploy it.

For more information, see Deploy Service in the Administration Manual.

Prerequisites

Before you can deploy a J2EE application or J2EE application component you must have:

·        Loaded an application or application component in the Deploy Tool. See Loading, Unloading and Refreshing an Application and Loading a J2EE Component Archive.

·        Set the deployment properties to connect to a J2EE Engine. See Setting the Deploy Tool Deployment Properties.

Procedure

       1.      In your DLP project, choose the Deployer tab.

       2.      Deploy the J2EE application or application component.

The application is not started at the end of the deployment process. It is in STOPPED mode.

       3.      If the deployment is successful, a dialog box appears where you can choose whether to start the application or the application component immediately.

With the Deploy Tool you can only start the application or application component immediately. If you want to start it at a later time, you will have to use the SAP Visual Administrator, the SAP NetWeaver or another suitable application.

Deploying a J2EE Application

...

       1.      If you have loaded an application, then you can choose Deploy → Deployment → Deploy EAR.

Deploying a J2EE Application Component

...

       1.      If you have loaded a component, then you can choose Deploy → Deployment → Deploy Module.

       2.      You must specify the name of the wrapping application for the module.

Do not use the following special symbols: slash (/), double backslash (\\), double quotation (“), colon (:), asterisk(*), question mark (?), backslash (\), greater than sign (>), less than sign (<), and vertical slash (|). They will be replaced with a tilde (~). If you put a period (.) at the end of the name, it will be removed.

From now on, the deployed J2EE application component is referred to as a J2EE application.

Result

You can:

·        Start the application – if you have not done this immediately after the deploy, you will have to use the SAP Visual Administrator, the SAP NetWeaver or another suitable application.

·        Update the application – see Updating a J2EE Application.

·        Undeploy the whole application – see Undeploying a J2EE Application.

·        Perform a Single File Update.
