Pega 8.7 support ear deployment on Oracle WebLogic 12.2.1.4
Hi,
can someone confirm that ear deployment is still supported on Oracle Weblogic Proprietary information hidden ?
Previously I read in the release notes that only war deployment was supported in Pega 8.7, but now i can't find anything in the release notes for 8.7 (https://docs-previous.pega.com/platform-release-notes/87/platform-87-release-notes).
Thank you,
Andrea

@AndreaG86 the Platform Support Guide shows this:
#
Extract:
"Beginning in Pega 8.6, the EAR deployment option is being deprecated. This includes EAR deployment options for JBoss, Weblogic and Websphere.
In the upcoming 8.7 release, EAR based deployment options will not be supported.
See Deprecation of EAR Deployments in Pega Platform 8.6 for details on new deployment options and the status of EAR-related features and alternatives."
However I agree that when viewing 'Keeping Current With Pega --> Redeploying the Pega Platform file' the message is confusing:
- Oracle WebLogic Server: Redeploying Pega Platform
Oracle WebLogic Server requires a Deployment Plan for split-schema configurations.

I believe the message is mentioned here: Editing the Oracle WebLogic Server Deployment Plan
Unfortunately that link contains a broken URL for 'Deprecation of EAR deployments'.
I will check internally if that can get rectified.

thank you Marije, i'll wait for the confirmation, but i think this clarifies that we need to switch to war deployments if we need to upgrade to Pega 8.7.x
i tried to access to link Deprecation of EAR Deployments in Pega Platform 8.6 and i get "You are not authorized to access this page." error.

Hi @AndreaG86 I have already reported the broken link of Deprecation of EAR Deployments in Pega Platform 8.6 and hope to have that documentation team fix this soon.

@AndreaG86 I have located the correct link for the Deprecation of EAR Deployments in Pega Platform 8.6 document.
Our documentation team has addressed the confusion in the 8.6 and 8.7 versions of the docs. For 8.8 we will be removing EAR mentions in patch and update content.
For your 8.7 version the EAR/WAR info will now be located here:
https://docs.pega.com/keeping-current-pega/87/deploying-archive-using-deployment-plan
I hope this helps.

No, EAR deployment is not supported from 8.8, not 8.7. Please see below statement from Platform Support Guide.
