Deploying the Learning Management System Server Application

Application deployment refers to the process where an application package has been installed and is then configured on an application server to create a running instance of that application.

The important unit of packaging in the Learning Management System application deployment process is the .ear (enterprise application archive) file. This package is a zip-format archive containing standardized metadata. These files are identified by the .ear filename extension.

The WebSphere Application Server Admin Console provides a multi-step process for deploying an .ear file and resolving the needed bindings and settings. This chapter describes the steps for deploying the Learning Management System Server .ear file. Refer to the Release Notes for complete information regarding browser requirements.

The following steps provide the information on the process of deploying the Learning Management System Server application (one piece of the complete Learning Management System deployment) from an .ear file from the WAS Admin Console.

1. Select the .ear file for deployment

Select “Install New Application” from the left-hand navigation window in WAS Administrative Console. Use the browse button to select the desired Learning Management System .ear file stored on your file system. Refer to the Release Notes for the exact name of this file. When finished, click Next to continue.
