Deploy a package to the GAS

Use the context menu to deploy a package to a local or remote Genero Application Server (GAS) from the Projects view.

Before you begin

You have created a package in Genero Studio for an application server (with a .gar or .jar extension).

If you are deploying an application generated by the Business Application Modeler (BAM), you must ensure that you include all necessary files. See Packaging for a BAM application for more information.

You can use a context menu to deploy packages created using Package nodes in the Genero Studio Project view.

  1. Select the configuration for the Genero Application Server.
    Note: If you don't have an existing configuration for your Application Server, you can create one using the Genero Configuration Management and Genero Application Server Management dialogs.
  2. Right-click the Package node in the Project view and select Deploy.
    The Deploy action executes the commands in the Deploy rule. You can follow the progress of the deployment in the Output view. The archive is deployed to the $(res.appdata.path)/deployment directory defined in the GAS configuration file, and a timestamp is added to the name of the deployment directory. Configuration files are copied automatically to the Group directory defined in the GAS configuration file.
