# Configure an Enterprise application

An enterprise application is an EAR archive or exploded directory that contains one or more Web applications, EJB modules, Web Services, or resource adapters. An Enterprise application is defined by the standard J2EE application.xml file and by the optional WebLogic-specific weblogic-application.xml file.

The following procedure describes how to update the configuration of an already-installed Enterprise application.

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the left pane of the Console, click the Deployments folder. A table that lists all the deployments currently installed on WebLogic Server appears in the right pane. The Type column specifies whether a deployment is an Enterprise application, a Web application, or an EJB module.
3. In Deployments table, click the name of the Enterprise application you want to configure.
4. Use the Overview tab to view, and sometimes change, general configuration information about the Enterprise application, such as its name, path to the source of the application, and deployment plan. At the end of the page is a list of the Web applications, EJB modules, and Web Services that are contained in the application.

   Click Save to save any configuration changes to a deployment plan.

5. Click the Configuration -> Application tab to view and change session information. Click Save to save the configuration changes to a deployment plan.
6. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
   Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
