DEPLOY command

You can use the DEPLOY command to deploy applications from IBM® InfoSphere® Information Services Director projects to enable the services in these applications to receive service requests.

Purpose

The DEPLOY command deploys design time applications and upgrades deployed applications. After you deploy the application, you can use the DEPLOY command to upgrade the application and service provider information by regenerating the application executable files.

Syntax

Deploy selected design time applications:

ISDAdmin -action deploy [-user <user name>
[-password <user password>] | -authfile <file name>]
-p <project name> -a <application name1> -a <application name2> 
-a <application name3>

Upgrade and redeploy only the application by regenerating the application executable files:

ISDAdmin -action deploy [-user <user name>
[-password <user password>] | -authfile <file name>]
-replace -preserveProvider -project <project name> -a <application name1> 
-a <application name2>

The DEPLOY command uses the following parameters.
