Exporting components to a package using System Manager
You can export integration components to a package file. Integration
components are resources, which are ultimately files stored in the file system. When System Manager exports components to a package,
it compresses the following resources into a .jar (Java
archive) file:
- Definition files (stored in XML format, with different extensions
depending on the component type)
- Java source files for maps and collaboration templates
- Message files
Do the following to export components to a package:
- Important:
- In order to export maps or collaboration templates they must be
compiled. If you try to export uncompiled maps or collaboration
templates System Manager prompts you to compile them first.
- Right-click either an integration component library or a user project that
contains the components you want to export and choose Export Repository
File from the context menu.
- Use the following techniques to select the components you want to
export:
- Enable the checkbox next to the integration component library or user
project to select all of the components in the library or project.
- Enable the checkbox next to a component group to select all of the
components in the group.
- Highlight a component group and then enable checkboxes next to individual
components in the right-hand pane to select those components.
- Type the name and path of the .jar file to which the
components should be exported into the InterChange Server Express repository jar
file path field, or click Browse to select a file to
overwrite or navigate to a directory and specify a file name.
- Note:
- If you type the name and path of the file into the field you must include the
.jar extension in order for the Finish button to
be enabled.
- Enable the Overwrite existing file without warning checkbox to
overwrite an existing .jar file if it already exists.
- Note:
- To benefit from the Overwrite existing file without warning
checkbox you must enable it before adding the path and file name to the
InterChange Server Express repository jar file path field, because as soon
as the interface presents the warning prompt as soon as it detects that an
existing file has been specified. It does not wait until you have
finished the wizard.
If you specified the name and path to an existing file and did not enable
the Overwrite existing file without warning checkbox and you want
to overwrite the existing file then click Yes when prompted.
