Deploying multiple EARs on one application server

Sterling™ Order Management System provides support for deployment of Multiple EARs (Enterprise Archives) on single application server.

On the same application server, you can do either of the following:

  • Deploy different customizations of the same or different versions of the application.
  • Deploy different versions of the same application.

The number of different EARs that can be deployed on a single application server depends on the available resources on the application server. To support this deployment of multiple EARs, the different versions or customizations of the same application should be deployed as an EAR and not in exploded mode.

Note: Sterling Order Management System assumes that each EAR file is generated from a different <INSTALL_DIR> directory.

To deploy multiple EARs, you must do the following:

  • Define JNDI (Java™ Naming and Directory Interface) Context Namespace
  • Define Context Root Entries
