Exporting assets

After application binary files are imported and registered with the product management domain as assets, you can export those assets.

Before you begin

Import one or more assets. The file name of each deployable object in the imported assets is shown on the list of assets on the administrative console Assets page.

About this task

You can export copies of assets to a target location. Exporting stores application binary files, enabling you to back up the files or edit them. The file resulting from exporting an asset contains configuration information for the asset.

This topic describes how to export an asset from the administrative console Assets page. Alternatively, you can use programming or the wsadmin tool.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Export asset page.
    1. Click Applications > Application Types > Assets to access the Assets page.
    2. Select the check box beside the asset that you want to export.
    3. Click Export.
  2. On the Export asset page, click the asset name or identifier.

    To cancel the export operation and return to the Assets page, click Back.

  3. Specify the target location for the asset file.

What to do next

Examine the target file to verify that the asset exported correctly. You can later edit this file and import the edited asset.
