TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Service Grid - Container Edition 1.0.0

# Deploying the Application Extractor

Use the Application Extractor to extract your application DAA and deployment configuration from ActiveMatrix Service Grid 3.x, so that you can containerize the application.

The Application Extractor is provided at `amsgce-runtime-<version>/applicationExtractor`. You must deploy the Application Extractor to your existing ActiveMatrix Service Grid 3.x enterprise to extract applications for migration to ActiveMatrix Service Grid - Container Edition.

Note: You can use the Application Extractor with TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid 3.3.0 Hotfix 23 and later.

## Deploying the Application Extractor from the Administrator UI

You must deploy the Application Extractor to the SystemNode or SystemNodeReplica. It uses ActiveMatrix Administrator default HTTP connector. Do not deploy it to any runtime node.

1. In Administrator UI, click SystemEnvironment.
2. Create a new application by uploading the DAA that is provided at
   `amsgce-runtime-<version>/applicationExtractor`/`com.tibco.amxce.amx.extractor.app.daa`
3. Deploy the DAA to SystemNode. No additional configuration is needed.

## Deploying the Application Extractor from the Administrator CLI

Sample build files to deploy the Application Extractor from the Administrator CLI are provided at
`amsgce-runtime-<version>/applicationExtractor/amx-3.x-cliScripts.`

1. Change the proper settings in remote_props.properties.

2. Run the CLI script.

       ant -f com.tibco.amxce.amx.extractor.app.deployment-build.xml

## Accessing the Application Extractor UI

You can access the Application Extractor with the following URL:
`http://<admin-machine>:8120/appextractor`.

- <admin-machine>: URL of the machine on which the Administrator instance is running.

- <port-number>: Port number to access ActiveMatrix Administrator (default port 8120).

The Application Extractor uses the default HTTP connector of ActiveMatrix Administrator, that is, `amxAdminDefaultHttpConnector`. You cannot change this. The Application Extractor runs on HTTP port defined in `amxAdminDefaultHttpConnector`. If SSL is enabled in this HTTP connector, you can access the Application Extractor using `https://`.

What to do nextYou can extract an existing application or multiple applications from TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid 3.x setup as a `.zip` file and containerize these applications. For more information, see TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Service Grid - Container Edition Quick Start.
