Application export scripts
The scripting library provides script procedures to automate the application configurations. See the usage information for scripts that export applications. We can run each script individually or combine procedures to create custom automation scripts for our environment.
Each application management script procedure is located in the app_server_root/scriptLibraries/application/V70 directory. Use the following script procedures to export applications:
exportAnAppToFile
This script exports a deployed application to a specific file.
To run the script, specify the application name and export file name arguments, as defined in the following table:
Argument Description appName Name of the application of interest. exportFileName Name of the file to which the system exports the application. Syntax
AdminApplication.exportAnAppToFile(appName, exportFileName)Example usage
AdminApplication.exportAnAppToFile("myApp", "exported.ear")
exportAllApplicationsToDir
This script exports all deployed applications to a specific directory.
To run the script, specify the application name and export file name arguments, as defined in the following table:
Argument Description exportDirectory Fully qualified directory path to which the system exports each application. Syntax
AdminApplication.exportAllApplicationsToDir(exportDirectory)Example usage
(Windows)
AdminApplication.exportAllApplicationsToDir("c:\export")(AIX) (Solaris) (Linux) (HPUX) (iSeries) (ZOS)AdminApplication.exportAllApplicationsToDir("/export")
exportAnAppDDLToDir
This script exports the data definition language (DDL) from the application to a specific directory.
To run the script, specify the application name, export directory, and options arguments, as defined in the following table:
Argument Description appName Name of the application to export. exportDirectory Fully qualified directory path to which the system exports each application. options Optionally specifies additional export options. Syntax
AdminApplication.exportAnAppDDLToDir(appName, exportFileName, options)Example usage
(Windows)
AdminApplication.exportAnAppDDLToDir("myApp", "c:\export", "")(AIX) (Solaris) (Linux) (HPUX) (iSeries) (ZOS)AdminApplication.exportAnAppDDLToDir("myApp", "/export", "")
