Manually Deploying a Web Application to My webMethods Server
When you develop a web application in the UI Development perspective of
Software AG Designer, you can publish the application directly to
My webMethods Server as described in
Publishing an Application to
My webMethods Server
.
However, you might have web applications from other sources that you want to deploy manually to My webMethods Server. You can choose from the following methods for handling web applications developed outside of Software AG Designer:

You can import the project into
Designer, and then publish the web application to

You can manually place the web application archive (.war) file directly into the
My webMethods Server folder structure.
To manually deploy a web application to My webMethods Server
1. Package the web application as a .war file.
2. Copy the .war file to this directory:
Software AG_directory \MWS\server\server_name\deploy
Tip: | When you deploy a very large (~200 MB) .war file to My webMethods Server, it is possible that My webMethods Server can attempt to start internal deployment of the file before it is fully copied. In this case, change the file name extension of the .war file before you copy it (for example, to filename.war.tmp). When the copy procedure finishes, rename the .war file back to its original name. |
