5 Click Save.
6 On the Application Services title bar, click the drop-down menu and select Applications.
7 Open the Nanotrader application that you configured.
8 Create a deployment profile and deploy the application.
9 To access the deployed application, open a supported Web browser and type the
http://Load_Balancer_IP/#login URL.
The Load_Balancer_IP is the IP address of the deployed load balancer.
10 Create a NanoTrader account to set a user name and password.
What to do next
Initiate an update process to scale or modify configuration of the Nanotrader application. See Initiate an
Update Process to Scale Sample Applications and Initiate an Update Process to Modify Configurations in
Sample Applications.
Deploy Clustered DotShoppingCart Application
The Clustered DotShoppingCart is a sample three-tier Windows-based application that uses Microsoft
SQL Server as the database server, Microsoft IIS Server as the application server, and Apache HTTP
Server as the load balancer.
The Create_DB script creates and initializes the DotShoppingCart database in the SQL Server database.
The DotShoppingCart_App script installs the DotShoppingCart application in the Microsoft IIS server and
uses the DotShoppingCart database. The Microsoft IIS AppServer node is defined as a cluster that allows
scaling out to multiple nodes for handling a larger load. The Apache HTTP server handles the load
balancing.
Use the predefined sample application only in a test environment.
