11.1 Introduction to Deploying SOA Applications with Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control

The Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control console provides a web-based user interface for completing deployment-related tasks including:

• Deploying, undeploying, and redeploying standalone modules (WARs, EARs, etc.) into the selected OC4J instance

• Creating and editing reusable deployment plans

• Setting application-specific security and application clustering configurations

• Importing shared libraries for use by the application, as well as modifying the list of inherited libraries

• Deploying to a specific OC4J instance or to a group of instances within an Oracle Application Server cluster

Because it provides such robust functionality, the Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control console should be your first choice for performing deployment-related tasks.
