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:

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.
  1. 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.
  2. Use the following techniques to select the components you want to export:
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
