Exporting components to a package using System Manager

You can export integration components to a package file. Integration components are resources, which are ultimately files stored in the file system as described in Resources. When System Manager exports components to a package, it compresses the following resources into a .jar (Java archive) file:

Do the following to export components to a package:

  1. Right-click either an integration component library or a user project that contains the components you want to export and choose Export as Repository File from the context menu.

    System Manager displays the "Export Repository File" wizard, as shown in Figure 34.

  2. Use the following techniques to select the components you want to export:
  3. If you plan to specify an existing .jar file to export the components to and you want to overwrite it without receiving a prompt, enable the Overwrite existing file without warning checkbox.
    Note:
    To benefit from the Overwrite existing file without warning checkbox you must enable it before specifying the file to use as described in step 4. System Manager prompts you to overwrite a file as soon as it detects that an existing file has been specified and does not wait until you have finished the wizard, so you must enable this option beforehand to benefit from it.
  4. Type the name and path of the .jar file to which the components should be exported into the Repository jar file path field, or click Browse to select a file to overwrite, or navigate to a directory and specify a file name.

    If you specified the name and path to an existing file and did not enable the Overwrite existing file without warning checkbox and you want to overwrite the existing file then click Yes when prompted.

    Note:
    If you type the name and path of the file into the field you must include the .jar extension in order for the Finish button to be enabled.
  5. Click Finish to complete the wizard.
