From the list of available targets, choose the target or targets and click Add. Targets can be clusters or stand-alone server instances. If you do not select a target, the application is deployed to the default server instance server.
If you are redeploying, don’t select targets. Anything you select here is ignored. Any target clustered or stand-alone server instance that references the deployed application automatically references the new, redeployed application if dynamic reconfiguration is enabled for the cluster or standalone instance.
