Deploying an Application

Deploy applications from the Applications page, which you can access from the Oracle Java Cloud Service - SaaS Extension Administration Console. Upon deployment, the application undergoes a series of security checks before it is actually deployed.

To deploy an application:

1. Open the Applications page in the Oracle Java Cloud Service - SaaS Extension Administration Console and click Deploy New. The Deploy Application page appears.

2. Enter a name for the application you are deploying, and then click Choose File to search your local file steam for the application archive to be deployed. After locating the archive, click OK.

   Oracle Java Cloud Service - SaaS Extension Control uploads and deploys the selected WAR (Web Application Archive) file or EAR (Enterprise Archive) file.

Validating Deployed Applications

Once deployed, each application undergoes a series of security checks before it is actually deployed. These checks include a virus scan and a whitelist validation. For technical and security reasons, a small number of specific APIs are prevented from executing in Oracle Cloud. Once the application passes these tests, deployment of the application begins. See About the Application Deployment Validation Process and Run-time Security.

Verifying Deployment Status

When deployment is successful, the application appears on the list of applications with a Status of Active..

If a deploy job fails, the best course of action is to view the logs for the job. Depending on the different job logs available, you can determine where the failure occurred. See Viewing the Activity Logs.

If whitelist validation fails, deploy is never run and so there will be no deploy log.
