Exporting a Deployed SOA Composite Application

Exporting a Deployed SOA Composite Application

You can export the contents of a deployed SOA composite application to an archive JAR file. The file can include some or all of the following data:

• The original design-time composite
  
• Postdeployment changes in the rules dictionary and domain value maps (DVMs)
  
• Postdeployment property changes such as binding component properties, composite properties such as audit level settings and payload validation status, and policy attachments
  

Notes:

• SOA composite application exporting is currently only allowed at the individual SOA composite level.
  
• Shared metadata is not exported as part of the composite export SOA archive (SAR).
  

To export a running SOA composite application:

1. Go to the home page of the SOA composite application to export.
   
2. From the SOA Composite menu, select Export.
   The Export Composite page appears.

3. Select an option.
   
   • Option 1: Generates an archive file containing the original design-time composite and the postdeployment details described in Option 2 and Option 3.
     
   • Option 2: Includes the original design-time composite and postdeployment changes in the rules dictionary and DVMs.
     
   • Option 3: Includes the original design-time composite and postdeployment property changes such as binding component properties, composite properties such as audit level settings and payload validation status, and policy attachments.
     
   • Option 4: Generates an archive file containing only the original design-time composite. Options 2 and 3 are not included.
     
4. If you want to append an additional name to the existing file, select Specify Custom Extension Text. For example, entering MyText to a file named sca_OrderBookingComposite_rev1.0.jar names the exported file as sca_OrderBookingComposite_rev1.0-MyText.jar.
   
5. Click Export.
   The Processing: Export Composite dialog displays the progress of archive file generation. When generation completes, you are prompted to save the file.
   
6. Click Save File.
   A dialog appears for either opening or saving the file to a directory on your local host.
   
   Note:

   It is important that you click the Save File button. Do not simply close this dialog. Although the composite is exported, you cannot retrieve the actual exported file.
   
7. Specify the local directory in which to save the JAR file.
   
8. In the upper right of the Processing: Export Composite dialog, click the x icon to close the dialog.
   
9. On the Export Composite page, note that the Cancel button has changed to Done.
   
10. Click Done.
    The Export Composite is closed and you are returned to the SOA composite application home page.
