Export the module as an EAR file

Using IBM Integration Designer, export your module as an EAR file. By creating an EAR file, you capture all of the contents of your module in a format that can be easily deployed to IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.

Before you can export a module as an EAR file, you must have created a module to communicate with your service. The module should be displayed in the IBM Integration Designer Business Integration perspective.

To export the module as an EAR file, perform the following procedure.


Procedure

  1. Right-click the module and select Export.

  2. In the Select window, expand Java EE.

  3. Select EAR file and click Next.

  4. Select the correct EAR application. The EAR application is named after your module, but with "App" added to the end of the name.
  5. Browse for the folder on the local file system where the EAR file will be placed.

  6. To export the source files, select the Export source files check box. This option is provided in case you want to export the source files in addition to the EAR file. Source files include files associated with Java™ components, data maps, and so on.

  7. To overwrite an existing file, click Overwrite existing file.

  8. Click Finish.


Results

The contents of the module are exported as an EAR file.
