Redeploying web applications in Control Center

Redeploying a web application to an open environment (managed deploy)

1	Stop the Java application server.

2	Delete the WAR file(s) and the corresponding application folder(s) from the portal root on the Java application server.

3	Restart the Java application server.

4	In Control Center, expand the Web Applications node.

5	Right-click the <Web application> and select Update Domain Information to deploy the WAR file(s).

6	If a Control Center message about the paths to the <Portal root>\<Name>\WEB-INF\spring folder(s) not being accessible, click OK.

7	Wait until the folder(s) are properly unpacked by the Java application server, resulting in an application folder for each web application.

Note:

Unpacking WAR files is time consuming.

8	Right-click the <Web application> and select Update Domain Information again to update the connection information.

9	Verify that the files with connection information are available in the application folder(s). See Files with connection information.

Redeploying a web application to an isolated environment (unmanaged deploy)

To redeploy a web application to an isolated environment

1	In Control Center, expand the Web Applications node.

2	Right-click the <Web application> and select Update Domain Information.

3	In the Control Center message, click Yes to redeploy the WAR file(s). The WAR file(s) and the corresponding application folder(s) are replaced in the manual deploy path:

<Base Directory>\<Version>\root\etc\unmanagedportals

You must now replace the existing WAR file(s) and application folder(s) on the Java application server with the ones from the manual deploy path.

4	Copy the WAR file(s) from the manual deploy path and paste the file(s) into the portal root on the Java application server.

5	Make sure that the WAR file(s) from the hotfix are unpacked by the Java application server, resulting in an unpacked application folder for each web application.

6	Copy the application folder(s) from the manual deploy path and paste (merge) the folder(s) into the portal root on the Java application server.

7	Verify that the files with connection information are available in the application folder(s). See Files with connection information.
