## Overview

Use this tab to set the deployment order and staging mode of the application. The deployment with the lowest deployment order value will be deployed first.

Available staging modes are:

1. nostage: does not copy application files to another location.

A server in nostage mode will run applications deployed to it directly from their source directories. In this mode, the web application container detects changes to JSPs and servlets.

2. stage: copies application files to server targeted in deployment

The stage mode means that the application will automatically be copied to the staging directory on the server. The servers will initialize and run the application from this directory.

3. external_stage: the user, and not WebLogic Server, copies application files to the server's staging directory.

The deployment should be copied to a directory with the same name as the application name under each target server's staging directory.

The external stage mode means that the application will be run from a staging directory, to which an external entity is expected to distribute the files. This mode is useful in environments that are managed by third-party tools.
