Installing applications associated with a stand-alone adapter

When you deploy an application that uses a stand-alone adapter, extra steps are needed to reference the adapter.

1. Find the lib/ext folder of the installed deployment manager server in your Advanced deployment environment.
   For example: install_root/lib/ext
2. Copy the content from the adapter RAR file to the lib/ext folder.
   For example, if your module uses a Flat Files adapter, open the CWYFF_FlatFile folder and copy the files.
3. Restart the deployment manager server to make the server class loader clear the cache and index the added classes and schema from the lib/ext folder. For more information, see Starting and stopping deployment managers.
4. Install the application to the target server or cluster. For more information, see Deploying the module in the documentation for your adapter.
5. After you install the module to the target server or cluster, remove all the content that you added to the lib/ext folder to avoid duplicate entry issues at run time; also, removing this content avoids problems updating the adapter that might occur later.
6. Optional: Restart the deployment manager to clear the removed files from memory. For more information, see Starting and stopping deployment managers.
7. Deploying the adapter binding involves tasks that occur on the deployment manager after the EAR file is installed. Review the SystemOut.log file to confirm that no exceptions are found.
8. Complete runtime customization that the deployed adapter configuration objects require. For more information, see the Administering the adapter module section for your specific adapter.
