Building the EAR File

When you build the EAR file you must save it outside the project tree, or it will be recursively included in the next EAR file you build!

Procedure
1. In TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio Explorer, highlight the project name, then from the top menus select Project > Build Enterprise Archive.

   If you see a message asking you to save all project resources, click Yes. It means an unsaved resource editor is open.

   At the Build Enterprise Archive dialog, you can change the name to fd.

   Tip: Short names are easier to type when starting the engine at the command line.
2. In the File Location field, browse to and select the directory above the project directory.

   To build the EAR in the provided example location, choose BE_HOME/examples/standard/FraudDetection/FD.ear.. Replace BE_HOME with your actual value.

   Where you build the EAR is not so important. You just have to specify the correct location when starting the engine at the command line.

3. Click Apply, then click OK. You see messages as the EAR file builds, then you see a message that the EAR file has built correctly:
