dcmctl: creating parent-child application

[syed mraza]

Hi Folks
while using 9iAs in development envirnoment ( windows 2000 server) i just go and change the <9iAS>j2ee/home/config/server.xml file to make an application child of other application. something like:

 
        <application name="childApp" 
                    path="c:\myApp\childApp\child.ear" 
                    parent="parentApp" />

now in production we are using "dcmctl" utility to deploy applications using hte commmad

 
dcmctl deployApplication -f myApp.ear -a myApp -co myComponent

any help/pointers/suggestions how to tell dcmctl to make the application a child application?
thanx in advance.
Raza

hi folks
well no body replied to this i wonder how many ppl out there r realy using J2EE architecture and tht is on 9iAS .
anyways after so much trail and error and oracle support (un)help which includded redepolying chainge the server.xml file and updateConfig nothing works.
and wht worked? its simple "-parent App" switch which is not documented.
so it wud go like this
"dcmctl -f parentApp.ear -a parentApp -co myComponent"
once its done all u have to do
"dcmctl -f childApp.ear -a childApp -co myComponent -parent cisrs"
Thats it.

Just registered to thank you for the info.
The -parent option is exactly what I needed and could not find searching on google.

Many Thanks.
