Create an EAR File in TIBCO Designer


Generate an Enterprise Archive file (EAR) that contains information on what you wish to deploy. This could be one or more adapter services, one or more TIBCO BusinessWorks process engines, or both.

Building an archive creates the EAR file, which you can then deploy from TIBCO Administrator. If you make changes to the business processes or adapter services included in the archive, you need to rebuild the archive. Saving the project does not affect the archive.

In TIBCO Designer, follow these steps to create an EAR:

  1. Configure the adapter services.
  2. Drag and drop the Enterprise Archive resource from the palette panel to the design panel.
  3. Select the Enterprise Archive. Drag and drop the Process Archive resource from the Process palette panel to the design panel. If there are any processes in your project, configure them using the Browse Resources button.
  4. If there are any configured adapter services in your project, an Adapter Archive resource becomes available in the Adapter Resources palette panel. Drag the Adapter Archive into the design panel and specify information in the Configuration tab, then click Apply.
  5. Go to the Enterprise Archive and click Build Archive to create the EAR file.
