10.5.3. Undeploy an Application from a Standalone Server Instance with the Deployment Scanner
Prerequisites
Summary
This task shows a method for undeploying applications from a standalone server instance that have been deployed with the deployment scanner. As indicated in the Section 10.1, “About Application Deployment” topic, this method is retained for the convenience of developers, where the Management Console and Management CLI methods are recommended for application management under production environments.
Note
The deployment scanner should not be used in conjunction with other deployment methods for application management. Applications removed from the application server by the management console will be removed from the runtime without affecting the marker files or application contained in the deployment directory. To minimize the risk of accidental redployment or other errors, use the Management CLI and Management Console for administration in production environments.
Procedure 10.10. Undeploy an Application using one of these Methods
Undeploy the application
There are two methods to undeploy the application depending on whether you want to delete the application from the deployment folder or only alter its deployment status.Undeploy by deleting the marker file
Delete the deployed application'sexample.war.deployedmarker file to trigger the deployment scanner to begin undeploying the application from the runtime.- Result
- The deployment scanner undeploys the application and creates a
example.war.undeployedmarker file. The application remains in the deployment folder.
Undeploy by removing the application
Remove the application from the deployment directory to trigger the deployment scanner to begin undeploying the application from the runtime.- Result
- The deployment scanner undeploys the application and creates a
filename.filetype.undeployedmarker file. The application is not present in the deployment folder.
Result
The application file is undeployed from the application server and is not visible in the Deployments screen of the Management Console.
