Procedure
1 On the Application Services title bar, click the drop-down menu and select Applications.
2 Select Clustered DotShoppingCart.
3 Click the Blueprint screenshot at the top of the screen.
4 In the blueprint editor, select the DotShoppingCart_App application component and type a valid URL
for the DSC_ZIP property value.
During deployment, the Application Services agent in the AppServer Windows virtual machine must
be able to access the valid URL for the OpenSourceEdition.V3.zip file.
5 (Optional) If you plan to have more than one AppServer node, select AppServer and increase the
cluster size.
6 Create a deployment profile and deploy the application.
7 To access the deployed application, open a supported Web browser and type the
http://Load_Balancer_IP:8081 URL.
The Load_Balancer_IP is the IP address of the deployed load balancer.
What to do next
Initiate an update process to scale or modify configuration of the Clustered DotShoppingCart application.
See Initiate an Update Process to Scale Sample Applications and Initiate an Update Process to Modify
Configurations in Sample Applications.
Deploy Clustered Dukes Bank Application
The Clustered Dukes Bank application is a sample three-tier Application Services application that uses
MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server as its database, JBoss Server as its application server, and Apache
HTTP server as its load balancer that you can deploy to your test environment.
The initialize_db_script script creates and initializes the dukes_db database in the MySQL or SQL Server.
The Dukes_Bank_App EAR application component uses the dukes_db database, which is deployed in
the JBoss server. The JBoss appserver node is defined as a cluster that allows scaling out to multiple
nodes to handle a higher load. The Apache HTTP server handles the load balancing.
Use the predefined sample application only in a test environment.
