Undeploying EARs from Netweaver 7.1 SP5

[Former Member]

Hi there,

We are running into troubles here because we need to deploy an ear that was already deployed in the application server. Is there a (simple) was to completely undeploy an EAR in Netweaver 7.1 SP5.

I come from a Glassfish/Jboss world where undeploying an app requires one click or simply deleting the ear from the auto-deploy folder and I'm sure such a feature exists in Netweaver 7.1 SP5.

I checked the thread but that does not really help since it talks about an older version of NW.

Thanks a whole lot for your kind help,

Dom

Hi,

I did not yet work with NW 7.1 but I'm quite sure there it contains the Visual Administrator.

Start the Visual Administrator (usr/sap/<SID>/<JC<InstanceNO>/j2ee/admin/go)

Login to VA and open the server node

Navigate to "deploy" service

Switch to application View (radio button at the bottom)

Browse to your application and choose "Remove" (Button on the right side)

Hope this helps (Please reward points if helpful)

Cheers

Hi Marcel,

Thanks for your reply however, this folder does not seem to exist anymore in Netweaver 7.1.

I found a way to undeploy my applications using the admin console:

1) Log onto the physical machine holding the AS.

2) Navigate to: C:\usr\sap\SP5\J00\j2ee\console (or replace C: by anywhere you installed you stuff).

3) Double click on the guiconsole.bat

5) Now login with the credentials that you use for accessing the AS (e.g. Administrator, s... in the case of KA).

6) With "man" you get a summary of all functionalities.

7) Using LIST_APP you can list the apps deployed on the server.

😎 Use UNDEPLOY name=FULL_APP_NAME (e.g. SII_application_service_catalog).

9) Wait a while and check using LIST_APP again to see whether it was undeployed.

Hope that helps the next ones,

Dom

No big deal, thanks.

Actually a small update: NetWeaver Developer Studio now also includes a deploy perspective which lets you deploy and UNdeploy things quite easily whitout having to look for the console tool:

Window->Open Perspective->Deploy and then select the Undeploy view tab.
