Generating the manifest.json File Using the bwdesign Utility

In order to push an application created in TIBCO BusinessWorks™ Container Edition to TIBCO Cloud Integration, there must be a manifest.json file that defines your application. Applications that were built with versions before TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks 1.1.0 do not have the manifest.json file generated and bundled with their EAR file and hence are not enabled for the TIBCO Cloud Integration environment. If you would like to push such applications to TIBCO Cloud Integration, you must generate a manifest.json file for them.

The manifest.json file can be generated from the bwdesign utility as follows: 
generate_manifest_json ear_location manifest_location
    Procedure
  1. Open a command prompt or terminal window.
  2. Navigate to <BW_HOME>\bin directory.
  3. Enter the following command:
    bwdesign
  4. Enter the following command:
    Note: Use a new fresh clean workspace for manifest_location when running the following command for generating the manifest.json file. 
    generate_manifest_json ear_location manifest_location

    where ear_location is the path to the EAR file and manifest_location is the location where you would like to save the generated manifest.json file.
