Remove

Removes a module from the deployed application. The module is deleted from the application in the WAS configuration repository and also from all the nodes where the application is installed and running (or expected to run). If the application is running on a node when the module file is deleted from the node as a result of configuration synchronization then the Web module is stopped before deleting it from the file system of the node. The entire application continues to run without any interruption. An exception to this rule is if the class loader setting for the application is marked as "application" instead of "module", the default setting. If the class loader setting is application, the entire application is stopped and restarted during module file deletion on the node. Also if the security provider configured for the Application Server cell does not support dynamic module updates, then the entire application is stopped and restarted.

Update

Opens a wizard that helps you update a module in an application. If a module has the same URI as a module already existing in the application, the new module replaces the existing module. If the new module does not exist in the application, it is added to the deployed application. If the application is running on a node when the module file is updated on the node as a result of configuration synchronization then only that Web module is stopped, the module file is updated on the node's file system, and then the application is restarted. The rest of the application continues to run without any interruption. An exception to this rule is if the class loader setting for the application is marked as "application" instead of "module", the default setting. If the class loader setting is application, the entire application is stopped and restarted during module file update on the node. Also if the security provider configured for Application Server cell does not support dynamic module updates, then the entire application is stopped and restarted.

Remove File

Deletes a file from a module of a deployed application. The file is also deleted from all the nodes where the module is installed after configuration is synchronized with nodes. If this file belongs to the META-INF or WEB-INF directory of the Web module then the Web module is stopped and restarted when the file is deleted from the node. If this is a non-metadata file (such as .class, .jsp files or static content such as.htm, .gif files) then nothing in the application is stopped for changes to take effect.

Module

Name of the module.

URI

Specifies a URI that, when resolved relative to the application URL, specifies the location of the module archive contents on a file system. The URI must match the ModuleRef URI in the deployment descriptor of an application if the module was packaged as part of a deployed application or enterprise archive (EAR) file.

Module type

Specifies the type of module.

Server

Specifies the target of the server or cluster of application servers.
