You can also use this page to change settings for monitored directory deployment.
To view this administrative console page, click .
Monitor directory to automatically deploy applications
Specifies whether to enable monitored directory deployment.
You can use monitored directory deployment to install or update an enterprise application file on an application server, or to uninstall an application file that was previously installed using monitored directory deployment.
You can install or update an application file by dragging or copying an enterprise archive (EAR), web archive (WAR), Java™ archive (JAR), or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) archive (SAR) to a monitored directory. The application file must conform to the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) specification. To uninstall a deployed application file, remove it from the monitored directory.
You can also install, update, or uninstall an application file by dragging or copying an application properties file to a monitored directory. The properties file must specify the deployment actions to be performed.
By default, monitored directory deployment is disabled.

| Default | false (clear checkbox) |
Monitored directory
Specifies the directory to use for monitored directory deployment. The default monitored directory is monitoredDeployableApps. Using this setting, you can specify a different default monitored directory.
For deployment by dragging or copying an enterprise application file to a monitored directory, the directory to which you add enterprise application files depends upon the product profile:
- For base (stand-alone) application servers, the default monitored directory is the monitoredDeployableApps/servers/server_name directory of the application server profile.
For deployment using properties files, the monitored directory is a subdirectory, named deploymentProperties, of the directory specified by this setting; for example, monitoredDeployableApps/deploymentProperties.
To change the default monitored directory, specify a different directory path for this setting. List the entire value for the directory, including the environment variable. You must select the Monitor directory to automatically deploy applications option to change this setting.
To view the default value, after a non-default value is set, clear the field.
| Information | Value |
|---|---|
| Data type | String |
| Default | ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/monitoredDeployableApps |
Polling interval
Specifies the number of seconds that elapse before the product scans a monitored directory for new applications.
The product scans a monitored directory for new applications no more frequently than every 5 seconds, by default.
To change this setting, specify a value of 5 or
higher. The product changes 0 (zero) or negative
values to 5 when the server starts. Monitor
directory to automatically deploy applications must be
enabled to change this setting.
To view the default value, after a non-default value is set, clear the field.
