Update installed applications with wsadmin


If an application is running, changing an application setting causes the application to restart.

Update a single file in a deployed application


Add a module to the deployed application

If the module does not exist. Otherwise, the existing module is updated.


Use a partial application to update a deployed application


Update the entire deployed application

To use the existing listener port instead of using or creating a new activation specification, determine whether the EJB JAR version is lower than 2.1. The system automatically creates and uses an activation spec when specify the --usedefaultbindings option to deploy an application. If an activation spec exists, the system ignores the listener port, and instead uses the activation specification. To deploy an application with an EJB JAR version greater than or equal to 2.1 using the defined listener ports instead of a new activation specification, set the com.ibm.websphere.management.application.dfltbndng.mdb.preferexisting system property to true in the wsadmin.properties file in the properties directory of the profile of interest.

  • In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. Use the syncActiveNode or syncNode scripts in the AdminNodeManagement script library to propagate the configuration changes to node or nodes.

    • the syncNode script to propagate the changes to a specific node, as the following example demonstrates:

    What to do next

    The steps in this task return a success message if the system successfully updates the application. When updating large applications, the command might return a success message before the system extracts each binary file. We cannot start the application until the system extracts all binary files. If we installed a large application, use the isAppReady and getDeployStatus commands for AdminApp to verify that the system extracted the binary files before starting the application. The isAppReady command returns a value of true if the system is ready to start the application, or a value of false if the system is not ready to start the application.

    AdminApp.isAppReady('myappname')

    If the system is not ready to start the application, the system might be expanding application binaries. Use the getDeployStatus command to display additional information about the binary file expansion status, as the following example displays:

    AdminApp.getDeployStatus('appname')
