Exporting a Project

Export saves all the orchestrations, endpoints, schemas, and other items associated with the project, into a single file that ends in the .par extension.

About this task

Exporting is typically used for publishing projects to production environments where administrators need to control the timing and impact of the deployment. When a project is exported to a PAR file (in Studio), an administrator can use the App Connect Web Management Console (WMC) to upload the project to the Integration Appliance. This two-step process (exporting to a PAR file and uploading a project using the WMC) is equivalent to publishing a project directly from Studio to an Integration Appliance.

Procedure

Select File > Export Project from the toolbar menu or select the Export Project toolbar button . The Save dialog box displays.
Navigate to the directory where you want to save the exported project.
Optional: Change the name of the exported file. Keep the .par extension.
Click Save.
- If successfully exported, a project file shows in the specified directory. The file name is the same as the current name of the project with a .par extension. For example, if you export a project named MySimpleProject, the project is saved in the MySimpleProject.par file. A dialog box displays indicating that the export process was successful.
- If there are problems with the project it is not exported; the Exporting Results dialog box displays with a list of problems that must be corrected before the project can be successfully exported.
Click OK.
