Deploying the Learning Management System Server Application
Application deployment refers to the process where an application package has been installed and is then configured
on an application server to create a running instance of that application.
The important unit of packaging in the Learning Management System application deployment process is the .ear
(enterprise application archive) file. This package is a zip-format archive containing standardized metadata. These
files are identified by the .ear filename extension.
The WebSphere Application Server Admin Console provides a multi-step process for deploying an .ear file and
resolving the needed bindings and settings. This chapter describes the steps for deploying the Learning
Management System Server .ear file. Refer to the Release Notes for complete information regarding browser
requirements.
The following steps provide the information on the process of deploying the Learning Management System Server
application (one piece of the complete Learning Management System deployment) from an .ear file from the WAS
Admin Console.

Select “Install New Application” from the left-hand navigation window in WAS Administrative Console.
