Exporting J2EE applications

You can export an enterprise application to a location of your choice.

About this task

Exporting applications enables you to back up your applications and preserve binding information for the applications. You might export your applications before updating installed applications or migrating to a later version of the WebSphere Application Server product.

Procedure

  1. Click Applications > Enterprise Applications in the console navigation tree to access the Enterprise Applications page.
  2. Select the check box beside the application and click Export.
  3. On the Export Application EAR Files page, click on the link to download the exported EAR file.
  4. Use the browser dialogue to specify a location at which to save the exported EAR file.
  5. Click Back to return to the Enterprise Applications page.

Results

The file containing binding information is exported to the specified node and directory, and has the name enterprise_application_name.ear.

Using the Export button to export applications does not export any manual changes that were made to applications in the installedApps directory. To export those changes, you must copy and move the application files manually.
