Overwriting a deployed file

Use the Overwrite File window to overwrite a file that was previously deployed to an WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance without asking for permission. This window opens if the Overwrite file without asking check box in the XML Management Interface Service tab under Connectivity in the DataPower preferences pane is clear, that is, not selected. There are three file overwrite options for the deployment process.

To overwrite a file:

  1. Click one of the following file overwrite options for the deployment process:
    • Overwrite the current file, which overwrites the same file that was previously deployed.
    • Deploy the file with a different name, which overwrites the file with the absolute path location where the file is to be deployed that you enter in the File field.
    • Cancel the deployment, which cancels the deployment process.
  2. Select Remember my decision if you want subsequent deployments to use the settings you selected in this Overwrite File window.
    When you select Remember my decision, Map Designer selects the Overwrite file without asking check box in the DataPower preferences pane. The next time you deploy a DataPower map to an WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance, the deployment process does not open the Overwrite File window.
  3. Click Proceed.

If you specified a new file name, the DataPower map is deployed to an WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance with the new file name.

If the XML Management Interface service detects an error, the Problem Occurred window opens. Click OK to close the window, or Details to expand the window and view the error message.
