Exporting modules for deployment or development

In IBM® Integration Designer, you can export modules as EAR files for server deployment or as serviceDeploy files for command-line server deployment. You can also export modules as project interchange files so that you can share projects for development purposes. If you are exporting modules for adapter deployment, you might need to configure dependency libraries for the adapter on the server.

About this task

The following topics explain how to export modules for deployment or development and how to configure dependency libraries for adapters that have been deployed on a server.

If you want to author artifacts in IBM Integration Designer and deploy them to an IBM Business Process Manager runtime environment, the major versions of the two products must match.

  • Exporting modules as EAR files
    In IBM Integration Designer, you can export modules and libraries as EAR files and then deploy them on Process Server by using the administrative console or command-line tools.
  • Exporting modules and libraries as serviceDeploy files
    In IBM Integration Designer, you can export modules and libraries as compressed files and then use the serviceDeploy command of Process Server to build and deploy them as EAR files.
  • Exporting modules and libraries as project interchange files
    In IBM Integration Designer, you can export modules and libraries as project interchange files. This enables you to share modules and their projects for development work.
  • Configuring dependency libraries for adapters
    The deployed adapter running in the server requires the same dependency libraries as it does in IBM Integration Designer to process requests. The method for adding these library files depends on the mode of the adapter deployment: deployed as a stand-alone adapter; or embedded in the EAR file.
