You can package a configured Process Federation Server installation so that you can deploy it to a different location or to another machine.

Before you begin

Ensure that Process Federation Server is installed and configured on your system.

Stop Process Federation Server.
Open a command prompt, then change the directory to the pfs_install_root/bin directory.
Package the Process Federation Server installation.
Both .zip and .jar archive formats are supported. To preserve file permissions, use the .jar format.
Enter the following command.
```
server package server_name --archive=package_file_name.jar --include=all
```
Where:

server_name

The Process Federation Server name. If you do not specify a server name, defaultServer is used.
Restriction: Ensure that the server name contains only the following characters. In addition, the server name cannot start with a period (.) or a dash (-).
0-9 A-Z a-z + - . _

--archive package_file_name

The target file for the package operation. The file name can include a full path name. If the full path is omitted, a compressed file called package_file_name.jar is created in the pfs_install_root/usr/servers/server_name directory. If you do not specify the --archive parameter, the value of server_name is used for package_file_name, and the compressed file is created in the pfs_install_root/usr/servers/server_name directory.

--include all

Packages the runtime binaries and the relevant files in the pfs_install_root directory.
