Running the server deployment process
Now that you have generated your deployment package and configured your deployment settings, you can run the server deployment process on your WebSphere Commerce server. Ensure that you perform a system backup before proceeding with this task.
Before you begin
The application server and the database must be started before the server deployment process can be run.
Before running
the server deployment process, it is highly recommended that the following
recovery measures be taken:
- Back up the database. Refer to the documentation of your database management system (DBMS) for details.
- Export the WebSphere Commerce enterprise application into an EAR file as a backup.
- Back up the WebSphere Application Server administrative configuration files.
Important: If you do not take these recovery measures,
you will not be able to recover if a deployment failure occurs.
