About this task

To export and import a task type

Procedure

  1. Copy the .war file containing the task application project from this directory in the source IBM My webMethods Server:

    IBMwebMethods_directory\MWS\server\default\deploy

    To this directory on the target IBM My webMethods Server:

    IBMwebMethods_directory\MWS\server\default\deploy

    Tip: When you deploy a very large (~200 MB) .war file to IBM My webMethods Server, it is possible that IBM My webMethods Server can attempt to start internal deployment of the file before it is fully copied. In this case, change the file name extension of the .war file before you copy it (for example, to filename .war.tmp). When the copy procedure finishes, rename the .war file back to its original name.
  2. The deployed task type is imported by IBM My webMethods Server without having to stop and start the server or run the update command.
