To deploy an ABL application on a PAS for OpenEdge instance:

  1. In the OpenEdge Command Center console, click the PASOE instances tab.

    The PAS for OpenEdge Instances page appears, listing all the instances associated with the currently configured OpenEdge Command Center agents.

  2. Select the checkbox next to the instance on which you want to deploy the ABL application. The Applications pane appears at the bottom of the page.
  3. Click Deploy. The Deploy Application dialog box appears.
  4. Select the ABL Application option as the application type.
  5. In the Select Application File field, click Select File to browse to the location of the OpenEdge Archive (OEAR) file containing the ABL application and select the file.
    Note:
    • You can deploy ABL application as an OEAR file only. For information about this file, see Create an OpenEdge Application Archive using tcman export and Create an OpenEdge Application Archive using an Ant Build.
    • If you are deploying an OEAR file on an instance that already contains ABL applications or web applications with the same names as those included in the OEAR file, you must undeploy the existing applications first.
    • The OEAR file does not need to have the same name as the ABL application.
    • You can upload an OEAR file only if its size is less than or equal to 523,239,424 bytes (499 MB). If you want to upload a larger file, update the system-config.json file by adding the maxFileUploadSize parameter with appropriate value and restart the OpenEdge Command Center server. The maximum value you can set is 3,221,225,472 bytes (3 GB). For more information, see OpenEdge Command Center server configuration.
  6. Based on the status of the PAS for OpenEdge instance, the dialog box displays either the Deploy or Deploy & Restart button. The following table summarizes different scenarios:

    Status of PAS for OpenEdge instance Deploy Application dialog box displays Required action
    Running The Deploy & Restart button Click Deploy & Restart.
    Stopped The Deploy button Click Deploy.
    Note: The deployment of the ABL application on the PAS for OpenEdge instance is independent of the deployment status of the Apache Tomcat Manager application.
    A popup appears, displaying the notification that the deploy operation is successfully submitted. You can click the bell icon to refresh and view the deployment status. After the successful deployment, the ABL application appears in the ABL Applications section of the Applications pane.
    Note: If an ABL application is deployed on a stopped PAS for OpenEdge instance, you must start the instance to access the ABL application services. For information on how to start a PAS for OpenEdge instance, see Start or stop a PAS for OpenEdge instance.
