Installing packages to a server

Except for packages used internally by EAServer, packages to be run on a server must be installed in that server, using one of two methods:

Add the package to the server’s Installed Packages folder.

Add the package to an application’s Installed Packages folder, then install the application to the server. See Chapter 3, “Managing Applications and Packages in EAServer Manager” describes this method.

Packages that you create must be installed in a server before that server’s clients can access components in the package.

You can only install a package in one application. Once a package is installed in an application, it cannot be installed directly in a server.

Default packages EAServer includes a set of default packages that include components used internally by EAServer. These packages are available whether or not they are installed to a server’s Packages folder. These include the packages: CosConcurrencyControl, CosNaming, CosTransactions, CtsComponents, CtsSecurity, DataWindow, EncinaInternal, EncinaOTS, JTS, Jaguar, JaguarOTS, JaguarProxy, JaguarServlet, OtsAdmin, PBDebugger, Proxy, TranLog. The list of default packages is subject to change without notice.
