Rebuild and redeploy EAR files

EAR files are what the application server actually reads off of when running Maximo.

Before rebuilding the EAR files make sure to delete the old ones.

EAR files are located in the directory: [maximo root]\deployment

acweb.ear

maximo.ear

maximohelp.ear

To rebuild these EAR files you use .cmd files located in the directory: [maximo root]\deployment

buildmaximoear.cmd

buildhelpear.cmd

buildacmebear.cmd

Make sure you stop the Maximo application server before rebuilding and redeploying the EAR files.

Delete and Rebuild:

1. Delete the Maximo EAR files you are rebuilding

2. Open the command prompt

3. Navigate to your ear .cmd file directory: [maximo_root]\deployment

4. Enter the .cmd file for the EAR file you are building, ex. buildmaximoear.cmd

5. After running it should finish by saying: BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Redeploy:

1. Restart the Maximo Application Server

2. Open BEA WebLogic Server Home

3. Navigate to the Deploy tab, ex. Deployments -> Application -> Maximo -> Deploy

4. Click Redeploy Application

5. Screen shows In Progress then Success

6. Logout. No need to stop and restart the Application Server
