The rapid deployment launch tool reference
We can use the rapid deployment launch tool (wrd.bat or wrd.sh) to specify that you want the tool to start listening for application artifacts that are dropped into the monitored project. The wrd command is run in a non-graphical command-line interface.
Requirements
Restriction: We can use the rapid deployment tools for packaging applications at J2EE 1.3 or 1.4 specification-levels. However, the rapid deployment tools do not support Java EE 5.0 (or later) nor J2EE 1.2 specification-level. For tools support of deploying Java EE 5 and later modules, you can use the monitored directory starting in WAS V8.0 release. For more details about the monitored directory, see Ways to install enterprise applications or modules and Installing enterprise application files by adding them to a monitored directory topics.
- An installation of WAS v6.0 or later. The wrd command supports targeting a WAS v6.0 or later.
- The rapid deployment launch tool is in the x:/profiles/ <profileName>/bin directory, where x is the directory where WAS v6.0 or later is installed:
- wrd.bat
- wrd.sh
- The rapid deployment configuration tool is in the x:/profiles/ <profileName>/bin directory where x is the directory where WAS v6.0 or later is installed:
- wrd-config.bat
- wrd-config.sh
Before using the wrd-config command, set up a workspace environment variable. See the related task about setting up a rapid deployment environment. After we have set up your command line, you can use the following syntax and arguments to run the tool.
Syntax
wrd.bat [ <optional parameters>]
wrd.sh [ <optional parameters>]
Optional parameters
-monitor
Enables console feedback from the rapid deployment tool.
-project <"project_name">
The name of the rapid deployment project to target to run in batch mode. This -project parameter is only used with -batch parameter.
-batch
Batch mode runs a full build on the projects generated in the rapid deployment workspace and then shutdowns the process. A project, specified by the -project, is required when using the batch mode parameter to generate the rapid deployment projects that is compiled during the full build.
-usage
Displays the optional parameters for this command.
