Exporting an Application Profile

An application profile can be exported from the application archive with the export command or from the Admin UI. After an application is configured with a profile, it becomes part of the application archive. An application configuration can be used to configure another application. If property changes are required after deployment, export the profile, edit, and deploy with the edited profile file.

bwadmin Command Line

Configurations are exported to the file system in the working directory.

The configuration is saved to: application_name_profile_name.substvar

To export a profile, execute the following command at the command line: 
BW_HOME\bin>bwadmin export -d MyDomain -a MyAppSpace application 
tibco.bw.sample.binding.rest.BookStore.application 1.0

The application configuration file tibco.bw.sample.binding.rest.BookStore.application_WindowsProfile.substvar is written to the working directory.

Admin UI

From the Admin UI you can export the profile for an application, or for a single application instance.
