Deploying and Running the Application 

Use

The last step in the development of the Persistence Example application is its deployment and testing. In this procedure you have to:

·        Deploy the database tables

·        Deploy the application EAR

·        Run the application

Prerequisites

·        You must have entered the J2EE Engine settings.

To set up the J2EE Engine, go to Window → Preferences → SAP J2EE Engine. You can set either remote or local installation. The default message server port is 3601.

·        You must have launched the J2EE Engine. For more information, see Starting and Stopping the SAP System.

Procedure
