Step 5: Deploying the application

Before you can deploy a new application, you must first specify deployment settings, such as the URL for the Infor Application Installer, authentication details, and others. Infor e-Commerce Development Studio then uses the same settings by default for each subsequent deployment — to use a different deployment setting, select Deployment Settings.

Before deploying your application, make sure that you have an active network connection to the application server and that you know the following:

  • The Universal Resource Locator (URL) and port number for the Infor Application Installer servlet running on the application server to which you want to deploy the application. See the Infor e-Commerce Development Studio Installation Guide for details about how to install the Infor Application Installer servlet.

  • A valid user name and password to log onto the application server.

To deploy an application

Make sure that the correct deployment target is selected before you deploy your application.

Click Deploy Application from the toolbar, or select Infor e-Commerce Development Studio > Deploy Application.

Types of deployment

To initiate a deploy operation, select one of the following from the Infor e-Commerce Development Studio menu:

  • Deploy Application – Deploys all application files and any changes made anywhere within the application. IRedeploying an existing IEC application will reset all configuration changes made to the JDBC and Resource Adapter Connections in the connection pool settings.

    f the application has been deployed previously, this deployment type uninstalls that previous application and overwrites with this new build.

  • Deploy Presentation – deploys changes made to the current presentation since the last deployment. This operation is faster than a full deployment, but does not include any changes made to the business objects or connectors since the last full deployment. A slightly faster way to initiate a deployment is to click the Deploy buttons. This is the same as selecting Deploy Application from the Infor e-Commerce Development Studio menu.

  • Deploy Resource – Deploys changes made to a specific JSP resource. This operation is faster than Deploy Presentation but is very limited to the active resource from the Navigator tab.

A slightly faster way to initiate a deployment is to click the Deploy buttons. This is the same as selecting Deploy Application from the Infor e-Commerce Development Studio menu.
