Exporting a Db2 service

To create an API or deploy a service through an automated DevOps process, you need a service archive (a .sar file). You can export your service project as an service archive to a location that you specify.

1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the service project and select z/OS Connect > Export z/OS Connect Service Archive.
2. Specify the location where you want to save this service archive file.

Results

The service is saved as a .sar file.

• For API creation, see Creating a REST API.
• In a DevOps environment, the service archive is generated by using the build toolkit with the service project directory as input. See The IBM z/OS Connect build toolkit.
• For automated service deployment, see Configuring service archives.
