If you do not have authorization to deploy a bundle directly
to a z/OS® file system, or you
want to back up your bundle source code, you can export the bundle
project to your local file system.
About this task
Exporting a CICS® bundle
project to your local file system exports the bundle source code and
files in an archive file. You can add the project into a source code
repository or share the project with another user who can import the
project into CICS Explorer®.
Do
not deploy the bundle project source to the z/OS UNIX file
system from outside CICS
Explorer, because the tool packages the project for deployment
and handles the file encoding for you.
Procedure
- In the Project Explorer view, right-click your CICS Bundle project and select Export. The Export dialog opens.
- Click on Archive File in the tree.
- Click Next.
- Ensure that all the files in the project are selected.
Enter a file name in the To archive file field.
Select Save in .zip format.
- Click Finish.
Results
You have exported the bundle to your local file system.
What to do next
Back up the bundle project or share it with another user.
