Setting up a rapid deployment environment

You can run the rapid deployment batch tools from a command line to create, configure, and launch rapid deployment projects using the IBM® WebSphere® v6.0 or later runtime environment. The rapid deployment tools run in a non-graphical command line interface.
Restriction: You can use the rapid deployment tools for packaging applications at J2EE 1.3 or 1.4 specification-levels. However, the rapid deployment tools do not support Java EE 5.0 nor J2EE 1.2 specification-level.
Prerequisites

To set up a rapid deployment workspace:

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Specify the location on your file system that will host the rapid deployment activities. This location serves as your workspace root, and all your rapid deployment projects reside here. Define an environment variable called WORKSPACE:
    • This graphic is a Windows icon. On Windows: set WORKSPACE=<workspace root>
    • This graphic is a UNIX icon. On UNIX: export WORKSPACE=<workspace root>
    Configure a rapid deployment workspace for each rapid deployment project, rather than configuring multiple rapid deployment projects inside a single rapid deployment workspace.
    Tip: To list all your environment variables and their values, run the command:
    • This graphic is a Windows icon. On Windows: set "
    • This graphic is a Linux icon. On Linux: export -n
    • This graphic is an AIX icon. On AIX:This graphic is an Solaris icon. On Solaris:This graphic is an HP-UX icon. On HP-UX: export
After the WORKSPACE environment variable is defined, you can continue to configure and launch your rapid deployment workspace.
