Create business-level applications

We can create an empty business-level application and then add assets, shared libraries, business-level applications, and other artifacts as composition units to the empty business-level application.

Configure each target application server as needed. We must deploy a business-level application to a v7.0 server or cluster.

Optionally, determine what assets or other files to add to your business-level application and whether the application files can run on your deployment targets.

We can create business-level applications using the admin console, programming, or wsadmin.sh.
