Before deploying a dashboard, you need to first generate the .war file for that dashboard. The .war file is the deployment package for a dashboard. It contains the webapp, servlets, and supporting resources for deploying a dashboard.

You can generate the dashboard .war file from Apama Studio using the Dashboard Deployment wizard. You can also generate the .war file using a command prompt or script with the dashboard_management utility.

For more information on generating dashboard .war files, see "Preparing Dashboards for Deployment" in Using Apama Studio, available if you selected Developer during installation.
