Packaging resources

Package message flow applications by adding required resources, optionally with their source files, to a BAR file.

Before you begin

Develop and test the message flow applications that you want to deploy; see Developing integration solutions and Testing and troubleshooting message flows.

About this task

You can deploy single resources without packaging them manually. For example, you can deploy the following resources in a single step.
  • A single application or library
  • A single message flow (if it is contained in an integration project)
  • A single subflow that is defined in a .subflow file (if it is contained in an integration project)
If one or more applications refer to a shared library, you must deploy the shared library first, before you deploy the application. In these cases, the packaging step is completed automatically when you deploy the resource.

Otherwise, before you can deploy your message flow applications to an integration node, you must package them in a BAR file.

In most cases, you are working with one or more applications, libraries, message flows, and other objects that you want to deploy with the message flows. In these cases, you can deploy these resources together by packaging them in a BAR file yourself, and deploying just that file. For instructions about how to package resources into a BAR file, see the following topics:
  1. Packaging resources that include Java code or message sets
  2. Creating a BAR file
  3. Adding files to a BAR file
  4. Refreshing the contents of a BAR file

You can edit configurable properties for the BAR file in the BAR file editor, or by using the mqsiapplybaroverride command. For more details, see Editing configurable properties.

What to do next

Deploy your BAR file to an integration node; see Deploying solutions.
