Deploying enterprise applications
By deploying applications to dynamic clusters, you direct requests to the application that can be managed autonomically. The dynamic cluster can expand and contract depending on the needs of the dynamic operations environment.
Before you begin
Verify that you have WebSphere® Virtual Enterprise running and have access to an application for installation. Configure a dynamic cluster. You must know the specific cell and dynamic cluster on which you want to deploy.
About this task
When you deploy your application to a dynamic cluster that is in automatic mode, WebSphere XD can automatically control the size and placement of dynamic clusters on the nodes, according to the business goals of your application.
Procedure
- Deploy the application to your dynamic cluster. In the administrative console, click Applications > Install new application or Applications > Install new middleware application > Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) type. Restriction: The application name must be unique among all the applications that are deployed in the cell.
For example, you cannot deploy a PHP application and a J2EE application that have the same name.
- On the Map modules to application servers panel in the wizard, map your application to the cell and dynamic cluster name, or the deployment target, that is specific to your dynamic cluster.
- Complete the wizard panels and click Finish.
What to do next
Define a service policy for the newly deployed application.
