Module Deployment Utility¶

About Module Deployment Utility¶

Module Deployment Utility is used to verify the .JAR and .WAR files. You can deploy the portlet (widgets) which are in .JAR file format or themes which are in .WAR file format in the platform itself.

Usually, when you deploy files in the server, if there is any error in the file uploaded - like the syntax error or properties error, it will throw validation errors. Using Module Deployment Utility page, you can verify the .JAR and .WAR file and deploy it so that you can utilize it in the platform.
