Administration Console Online Help

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the left pane of the Console, click the Deployments folder.
3. In the right pane, click Install.
4. Using the Install Application Assistant, locate the EAR file or exploded directory that corresponds to the Enterprise application you want to install. If you specify an exploded directory, WebLogic Server installs all components it finds in and below the specified directory. Click the circle to the left of the application.
5. Click Next.
6. Select Install this deployment as an application.
7. Click Next.
8. Select the servers and/or clusters to which you want to deploy the Enterprise application.

   Note: If you have not created Managed Servers or clusters in addition to the current Administration server, you will not see this assistant page

9. Click Next.
10. Optionally update settings about the deployment. These settings include:
    • The deployed name of the Enterprise application.
    • The security model that is applied to the application.
    • How the source files (EAR or exploded directory contents) are made available to all targetted Managed Servers and clusters.

    Typically, the default values are adequate.

11. Click Next.
12. Review the configuration settings you have chosen, specify whether you want to immediately update the application's configuration after you install it, then click Finish to complete the installation.

    Note: If you install an application that follows the below directory structure and there is no deployment plan in the /plan directory, WebLogic server automatically creates a deployment plan for you.

    • app-root
    • /app
    • /plan
13. If you chose to immediately go to the deployment's configuration screen, click on the tabs to set additional configuration settings for the Enterprise application. If you chose to change this information later, the Console returns you to the Deployments table, which should now include your newly-installed Enterprise application.
14. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
    Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
