Basics of the Deploy Tool 
You can start the Deploy Tool using the <SAPj2eeEngine_install_dir>/deploying/DeployTool script file.
Under Windows OS the script file is DeployTool.bat and under Unix OS it is DeployTool.
A Deploy Tool console window and the Deploy Tool mainframe window appear. You work within the Deploy Tool mainframe window only. The system uses the console window to display event and error messages.
The Deploy Tool consists of the following tabs corresponding to the roles they play in the deployment process:
· J2EE Components tab – provides functionality for making archive files out of J2EE components. Use it to create EJB JAR files, Web archives (WAR), Application Client JAR files and Resource Adapter archives (RAR). For more information, see Generating J2EE Components.
· Assembler tab – provides functionality for combining JAR, WAR, Client archive JAR files and Resource Adapter RAR files in an application. You can modify the deployment descriptors from the original J2EE archive files, and generate the EAR application file. An alternative deployment descriptor is created for each archive file. These files store the information necessary to visualize the deployment properties in the Assembler tab. The changes of the deployment properties are stored in alternative deployment descriptors. For more information, see Assembling a J2EE Application.
· Deployer tab – provides functionality for specifying the deployment properties and the J2EE Engine-specific properties to deploy the application. For more information, see Deploying a J2EE Application.
· Server Components tab – provides functionality for specifying the deployment properties, assemble and deploy services, interfaces and libraries. For more information, see Deploying Libraries, Interfaces and Services.
