Lesson 5: Deploying the application components
To deploy the components in the application, run the application process on the new environment.
If the process runs successfully, the request shows that each component process is finished, as in the following figure:
In this case, you can view the running application at the following URL, by substituting the host name of your target system for hostname. This is the host name of the agent that you configured in Configuring the agent and target system. In the URL, specify the tomcat.contextroot value that you entered for this environment after the port number.
http://hostname:8081/JPetStoreDev
The application
shows a simple online shopping site in the form of a pet store. The following figure shows the home

If the application process did not run successfully, one of the component processes might

Failed
. To
troubleshoot this failed process, expand the log section for the component, and find the step that
failed:From here, you can look at the command-line output log for each step in the process by clicking the Output Log icon.
If one of your component processes did not complete, identify the step that
did not complete. Verify that the properties for that step are correct and that the steps are in the
correct order in the process. Then, run the application process again.
Note: If you run the
application process again, be sure to clear the Only Changed Versions check
box and select the versions of each component. If you leave this check box selected, the server runs
the component processes only for components that have new versions.
This application process installed each of the components in the application by running their component processes.
Application processes can also uninstall or update components or run other configuration tasks for the application and its components.
