Moves now supports deployment of application war files to Tomcat servers.

An important note about Moves and Tomcat

There are several things to keep in mind about the Moves and Tomcat servers.

  1. There are 3 Server Tiers. These Server Tiers are TEST servers, QA servers and PRODUCTION servers. The servers within any Server Tier are NON-CLUSTERED Tomcat servers. This means that each individual server within any Server Tier should be thought of (relative to Moves) as an independent, stand alone server. This is different from what is currently being done with the OAS servers.

  2. There is NO CLUSTER management with the tomcat servers. What this means is that if Moves fails to deploy an application's war file, then human intervention is required to determine what has failed and how to recover from the failure. There is no automatic fail-over/role-back mechanism.

  3. Moves uses the Tomcat manager to deploy an application's war file independently and directly to each Tomcat server within a Server Tier. This is different mechanism from what is currently being used with the OAS servers.
