I need to deploy an existing EAR generated from one workspace into the server of another workspace. I do not need to see the components within the EAR as projects in the new workspace. I just need to have them deployed on the server.

Basically, I am looking for the ability to deploy an EAR in the same fashion as the IBM Universal Test Client. The EAR gets picked up by the server and deployed, even though it does not show up in the workspace project list.

I have tried putting a similar deployment descriptor in the server directory, like IBMUTC does, but so far this has not loaded, or produced any error on server startup. It does, however, show up in the server configuration as a (myEar) type of project. (In the J2EE hierarchy view)

Servers
- MyServer
- ThisWorkspaceEAR
- (myEar)

Hello Robin,

You can deploy an EAR file in the test environment by using the admin console. To start the admin console, start the server and right click on "Run administrative console". (If this option is disabled then first go to your server configuration, go the the configuration tabpage and select "Enable administration console". You must restart the server after this action.)
When you clicked "Run administrative console", the administration console appears, optionally fill in a userid and hit OK.
Now you are in your the admin console and via "Applications - Install new Application" you should be able to deploy your application by just using an EAR file......

If it doesnot work make sure you install all available fixpacks/updates for both WSAD and the WSAS.

Hopes this works for you.
Lars
