Uploading an Application

If you create an ESB artifact (sequence, endpoint, etc.) or a composite application of artifacts, you can save it as a Carbon Application Archive (CAR) file and add it to a running Carbon instance using the management console.

Follow the instructions below to upload an application in WSO2 ESB.

1. Sign in. Enter your user name and password to log on to the ESB Management Console.

2. Click the "Main" button to access the "Manage" menu.

3. From the left navigation menu, under the "Applications," select "Add."

4. Select your CAR file by browsing the file system. Click on the "Browse" button.

5. Select a CAR file and click on the "Upload" button.

6. After you upload the CAR file, the "WSO2 Carbon" window appears. Click "OK" and refresh the page to see the status of a new application.

7. The CAR files you deploy this way are dropped to the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/carbonapps folder.

As an alternative to uploading the C-App using the management console, you can copy the CAR archive into <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/carbonapps manually (if you have not yet deployed any C-Apps, you must create this folder manually) and it will be deployed. If you are running in a multi-tenant environment, you copy them to <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/tenants/{tenant-ID}/carbonapps/ instead, where {tenant-ID} is the ID of the tenant (0 is the super tenant ID). Do not use manual deployment in a multi-tenanted environment if you do not know the tenant ID.

8. If successfully deployed, the C-App should be listed on the "Applications List" window.

If the Carbon application does not have artifacts which are applicable to the particular product you are using, nothing will be listed on this window.
