Exporting a SAS Web Application Project as a WAR File

To deploy a SAS Web Application Project to a server outside of Eclipse, you must create a WAR file for the web application contained in the project. This is accomplished using Eclipse's Export feature. Perform the following steps to create the WAR file:
  1. Right-click the SAS Web Application project and select Exportthen selectWebthen selectWAR file.
  2. Specify the Destination for the WAR file.
  3. Select a target server run time, or clear the Optimize for specific server runtime check box.
  4. Click Finish.
The WAR file is copied to C:\SAS\Config\Lev1\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer1_1\sas_webapps.
The resulting WAR file can be deployed to a SAS Web Application Server in any BI Server installation that matches the version of the SAS facets that were used in the SAS Web Application project. The only requirement is that the application metadata for the web application and any resources the web application depends on are present in that BI Server installation. The connection information in the application metadata (the settings specified in the ApplicationUri element of the project's Application.xml) must match the location of the web application deployment.
