Overview
During development, you save your design to a project repository as needed. When you are ready to deploy your project to a machine, you must generate an Enterprise archive file (EAR file) using TIBCO Designer™.
The EAR file contains information on the resources you wish to deploy. This includes one or more ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks process definitions and the associated shared resources required by the process definitions.
Building an archive creates the EAR file that you can then deploy from TIBCO Administrator. If you make changes to the business processes or shared resources included in the archive, you must rebuild and redeploy the archive. Saving the project does not affect the archive.
You can define multiple Enterprise Archive resources for a single TIBCO Designer project. For each archive, you can choose the processes to include.
