APAR status Closed as documentation error. Error description EAR Expander is working as designed but should include some examples of how to work with EAR files from different versions: 1) An example of earexpander options when trying to copy EAR directories from one system to another 2) How the EAR is expanded in the installedApps directory.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server Users of * * EARExpander. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: EARExpander no longer collapses * * utility jar/zip files starting at 4.02 * * and above * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** EARExpander no longer collapses utility jar/zip files starting at 4.0.2 and above. This is a limitation and will be addressed in a future release. To workaround this problem you could do one of the following: 1) While expanding the ear file, select "-expansionFlags war" option only, so that the zip/jar files do not get expanded and will remain intact when you run the collapse. EARExpander.(bat|sh) -ear <$PATH>\test.ear -expandDir <$PATH>\ ear\test.ear -operation expand -expansionFlags war To collapse the ear file run the following: EARExpander.(bat|sh) -ear <$PATH>\test.ear -expandDir <$PATH>\ ear\test.ear -operation collapse 2) If a zip/jar file needs to be changed, expand the ear file with "-expansionFlags all", after making the required changes to the files in the zip/jar archives, make sure you manually collapse the zip/jar files , and then run the following: EARExpander.(bat|sh) -ear <$PATH>\test.ear -expandDir <$PATH>\ ear\test.ear -operation collapseProblem conclusion Closing as a documentation change.Temporary fix Comments
