Working with solutions

You can export a user project as a solution. This action copies the shortcuts from the user project as well as the component definitions that the shortcuts reference in the integration component libraries. This makes it easy to migrate an entire interface or business integration system from one environment to another.

Exporting a solution

Do the following to export a user project and the integration components it references as a solution:

  1. In the WebSphere Business Integration System Manager view, expand the User Projects folder, then right-click the Message Brokers folder and choose Export Solution from the context menu.

    System Manager displays the "Export Solution" wizard, as shown in Figure 33.

  5. When prompted that the export operation completed successfully, click OK.
