[Note]Note

The globus-deploy-gar command always overwrites the existing configuration and non-configuration files of the service during the deployment.

Example:

$ globus-deploy-gar /tmp/gars/globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar

The globus-deploy-gar invokes an Ant task. The above example is equivalent to running: 

$ ant -f $GLOBUS_LOCATION/share/globus_wsrf_common/build-packages.xml deployGar \
      -Dgar.name=/tmp/gars/globus_wsrf_core_samples_counter.gar

The profile name can be passed using the -Dprofile Ant option. To enable back up of the existing configuration files add the -DcreateBackup=true Ant option. Make sure to use the absolute path name for the gar file when using Ant directly.

[Note]Note

The globus-deploy-gar is an Ant-based tool. If Ant is installed incorrectly this tool might not work properly. This tool will not work with Ant installed from JPackage.
