Exporting a CICS bundle project to your local file system

If you do not have authorization to deploy a bundle directly to a z/OS® file system, or you want to backup your bundle source code, you can export the bundle project to your local file system. and then transfer the exported archive file to your z/OS UNIX file system, source code repository, or to another user.

Procedure

  1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click your CICS® Bundle project and select Export. The Export dialog opens.
  2. Click on Archive File in the tree.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Ensure that all the files in the project are selected in the upper panes. Enter a file name in the To archive file field. Select Save in .zip format.
  5. Click Finish.

Results

You have exported the bundle to your local file system.
Note: The unpacked event binding file has an .xml suffix, and is in the UTF-8 ASCII (Unicode) format. The file is not readable in a z/OS text editor.
