Important
- If you're deploying Web Services and Applications version 8.5.201.50 or earlier, complete the steps on Deploying the web application for 8.5.201.50 or earlier instead.
- If you're deploying Web Services and Applications version 8.5.201.09 or earlier, complete the steps on Deploying the web application for 8.5.201.09 or earlier instead.
Complete the following steps for each Web Services node.
Start
