Configuring Quick publish to call EAR Updater for non-federated environments

If you have a non-federated environment, Quick Publish does not call the EAR Updater. In a federated environment, Quick Publish calls and uses the EAR Updater to publish your changed files to your production server. You can configure Quick Publish to call the EAR Updater in a non-federated environment to help copy your changed files to your production server if the EAR Updater is configured to use FTP prototype.

For more information about configuring FTP, see Configuring FTP or file system copy for extracting managed assets.
