IBM Version 5 manual Publishing to a remote server AEs, Creating a remote server instance

12.2 Publishing to a remote server (AEs)

Prerequisites: With Application Developer, you can deploy the application to a remote server using a remote server instance and configuration. If you want to publish your projects remotely on WebSphere Application Server AEs, you must install the following applications on the remote server:

￿IBM WebSphere Application Server Advanced Single Server Edition for multiplatforms

￿IBM Agent Controller

￿(Optional) FTP server

Important: Ensure the IBM Agent Controller is running on the remote server and is inside a firewall.

Tip: In a team environment, care must be taken when publishing code to a remote server. Make sure the members of the team do not step on each other when deploying. It is a good idea to assign the deployment process to a lead developer to ensure correct code versions are deployed. This document does not define the details of the application build process.
