Chapter 1 Project Tasks : Building an Enterprise Archive (EAR File)

Building an Enterprise Archive (EAR File)
You can build an enterprise archive file using a TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio dialog, and also using a command-line utility (see Building an Enterprise Archive (EAR File) at the Command Line for details).
For deployment using TIBCO Administrator, the configuration Name field value must match the project name  The project does not deploy if they are different. The actual EAR file name, however, can differ from the configuration name.
Do not store the EAR file in a project folder  Doing so includes the prior EAR file when you build the EAR file again, needlessly increasing the size.
Modifying Ignored Resources List  Certain files (and folder names) are excluded from the EAR. To maintain the list of exclusions, in TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio, select Window > Preferences. > Shared Archive > Ignored Resources. See Setting Preferences for more on this topic.
Options for Deploying the EAR
For deployment options see Chapter 5, Deploying and Managing Engines with MM and Chapter 8, Deploying With TIBCO Administrator in TIBCO BusinessEvents Administration. For testing purposes, you may find it useful to refer to the section Starting a TIBCO BusinessEvents Engine at the Command Line in TIBCO BusinessEvents Administration.
Building an EAR File in TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio
When testing project before development, you may want to build the EAR as explained here, and run the project at the command line.
