For application setup, server management commands are provided as interfaces. The server management commands are a group of commands for setting and managing the resources and J2EE applications operating on a J2EE server.

The following table describes the functionality of the server management commands used for application setup.

#1

You can import J2EE applications having the following formats:

• J2EE applications in the archive format (EAR files)
• J2EE applications in the exploded archive format (application directory)

#2

When replacing the deployed J2EE applications, the operations differ as follows, based on the format of J2EE applications while importing the J2EE applications:

• When replacing the deployed J2EE applications having the archive format, you must restart (stop, replace, and start) the J2EE applications once.
• When replacing J2EE applications having the exploded archive format, you can execute the server management commands for replacing the J2EE applications without restarting (stopping, replacing, and starting) the J2EE applications that are already running (reload functionality).

For details on replacing J2EE applications, see 5.6 Replacing J2EE applications in the uCosminexus Application Server Operation, Monitoring, and Linkage Guide.
