Weblogic Server Deployment Staging Configuration

Weblogic Server Deployment Staging Configuration:


We can deploy, redeploy, undeploy, and distribute applications using Weblogic server Administration Console, ANT script or through WLST script.

We can deploy an application as a single archive EAR file or as an exploded archive directory.
Before deploying the application the following server level configuration should be done based on our requirement.

Staging Mode:

The mode that specifies whether an application's files are copied from a source on the Administration Server to the Managed Server's staging area during application preparation.

Nostage mode: 

The Administration Server does not copy the deployment unit files to the target servers. The deployment units are deployed directly from the source. This mode is useful when deploying very large deployments to multiple targets. This is the default staging mode for the Administration Server.

Stage mode: 

The Administration Server copies the deployment unit files to the staging directories of target servers and they are deployed using the local copy. This mode is useful when deploying small size applications. This is the default staging mode for Managed Servers.

External mode:

In this mode you manually copy the deployment units  to the staging directories and then deploy.

Staging Directory Name:

The directory path on the Managed Server where all staged (prepared) applications are placed.

Upload Directory Name:

The directory path on the Administration Server where all uploaded applications are placed.

Configure Deployment Staging:

  • Log in to Weblogic server Admin console and click on Servers
  • Click on particular Server then Click on Deployment
  • Configure the deployment staging accordingly.
