Deploying customized assets
When you deploy customized assets for WebSphere Commerce, consider the two stages: packaging and deploying.
Customized WebSphere Commerce Enterprise Application (EAR) assets
The WebSphere Commerce Java EE assets are provided in a Enterprise Application (EAR) file. If you customize or change your WebSphere Commerce EAR assets, you must package and deploy the changed assets. You deploy your EAR assets to WebSphere Application Server, using either a graphical wizard, or scripting tools. Regardless of whether you use the graphical or scripting tools, always back up your Java EE assets before you deploy.
Packaging Management Center files for deployment
Before deploying your customized Management Center changes, you must first export the project as a WAR file.
