Install an application on an application server

To install an application on an application server, follow these steps:

1. Run the wsadmin tool.

2. Run one of the following commands:

   • The install command for the AdminApp object uses the EAR file and the command option information to install the application. In this example, /home/myApps/app1.ear is the fully qualified path of the application that you want to install, and serv2 is the name of the application server on which the application is installed.

     $AdminApp install /home/myApps/app1.ear {-server serv2}

   • The installInteractive command prompts you for information during the installation. In this example, /home/myApps/app1.ear is the fully qualified path of the application that you want to install.

     $AdminApp installInteractive /home/myApps/app1.ear

3. Run the following command to save the configuration changes:

   $AdminConfig save
