Deploy an ABL web application

System administrators can deploy ABL web applications to a PAS for OpenEdge instance using the pasman deploy command.

To deploy an ABL web application to a PAS for OpenEdge instance, perform the following steps

1. Obtain the .war file and any ABL r-code that support ABL web application from the developer.
2. Move any r-code to the PROPATH. For example:instance-name/openedge.
3. Deploy the ABL web application to the instance using the pasman utility:

   pasman.[sh|bat] deploy -I instance-name path_to_ABLwebapp/ABLwebapp.war

4. Start the instance:

   pasman.[bat|sh] pasoestart -I instance-name -timeout 200

5. Test that the ABL web application is deployed by calling it in a web browser:

   http://hostname:port/ABLwebapp

   where:
   • hostname is the instance name
   • port is the port defined for the instance
   • ABLwebapp is the name of the war file that you deployed

You can have more than one ABL application running on an instance depending upon your business requirements. Each ABL web application should have its own database connection and security.

pasman.[bat|sh] deploy -I instance-name –a webapp-name
$DLC\servers\pasoe\extras\oeabl.war

The webapp-name is then added in the [Appserver] section in openedge.properties file. Each deployed ABL web application can be configured individually using the OEPROP utility in the AppServer.Sessmgr.webapp-name section. Using OEPROP to set these properties is described in the Configure properties for deployment topic.
