Building an EAR File at the Command Line

Procedure
1. Backup the EAR file. For example, if you generate the asg_core.ear file in the ASG_HOME/bin directory, take a backup of this file.
2. Navigate to TIBCO_HOME/be/5.2/studio/bin.
3. Open the studio-tools.tra file for editing.
4. Append the following parameters to the java.extended.properties property:
   -DTIBCO.BE.function.catalog.http.servlet.getRequestHeaders=true
   For example, the property is modified as follows:

   java.extended.properties=-server -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -javaagent:%BE_HOME%/lib/cep-base.jar -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xbootclasspath/p:%TIB_JAVA_HOME%/lib/tools.jar -DTIBCO.BE.function.catalog.http.servlet.getRequestHeaders=true

5. Save changes to the studio-tools.tra file.
6. Open a command prompt.
7. Execute a command with the following format (all on one line) at a command prompt:

   studio-tools -core buildEar [-h] [-x] [-lc] [-o outputEarFile>] -p studioProjectDir [-pl projectLibrariesFilePath] [-cp extendedClasspath]

   For example:

   studio-tools -core buildEar -x 
   -o C:\tibco\asg\2.3\bin\asg_core.ear
   -p C:\tibco\asg\2.3\projects\ASG_DefaultImplementation

   The following table provides detailed information about the options:

   TIBCO BusinessEvents StudioTools Options for Building an EAR File

   Option	Description
   -core buildEar	Within the core category of operations, specifies the buildear operation for building EAR files.
   -h	Optional. Displays help.
   -x	Optional. Overwrites the specified output file if it exists.
   -lc	Optional. Specifies that the file-based legacy compiler must be used to build the EAR file. By default, the EAR files are built in memory.
   -o	Optional. Specifies the filename for the output EAR file. If not specified the EAR file is the same as the final (leaf) directory name in the projectDir path.
   -p	Absolute path to the TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio project directory. The EAR file is built using this project.
   -pl	Optional. Specifies list of project library file paths to be used, separated by a path separator.
   -cp	Optional. Specifies the extended classpath to be used.

   Note: When building an EAR file in memory for a large project, the JVM may run out of PermGenSpace and/or heap space. In such cases, edit the TIBCO_HOME/be/5.2/studio/eclipse/studio.ini and TIBCO_HOME/be/5.2/studio/bin/studio-tools.tra file to set appropriate values for the JVM settings. By default the heap size is set to -XX:MaxPermSize=256m.
