Undeploying EARs from Netweaver 7.1 SP5

Question

Hi there,
We are running into troubles here because we need to deploy an ear that was already deployed in the application server. Is there a (simple) was to completely undeploy an EAR in Netweaver 7.1 SP5.
I come from a Glassfish/Jboss world where undeploying an app requires one click or simply deleting the ear from the auto-deploy folder and I'm sure such a feature exists in Netweaver 7.1 SP5.
I checked the thread how do you deploy and undeploy a J2EE application to web App server but that does not really help since it talks about an older version of NW.
Thanks a whole lot for your kind help,
Dom

Hi Marcel,
Thanks for your reply however, this folder does not seem to exist anymore in Netweaver 7.1.
I found a way to undeploy my applications using the admin console:
1) Log onto the physical machine holding the AS.
2) Navigate to: C:\usr\sap\SP5\J00\j2ee\console (or replace C: by anywhere you installed you stuff).
3) Double click on the guiconsole.bat
5) Now login with the credentials that you use for accessing the AS (e.g. Administrator, s... in the case of KA).
6) With "man" you get a summary of all functionalities.
7) Using LIST_APP you can list the apps deployed on the server.
8) Use UNDEPLOY name=FULL_APP_NAME (e.g. SII_application_service_catalog).
9) Wait a while and check using LIST_APP again to see whether it was undeployed.
Hope that helps the next ones,
Dom
