Refreshing the contents of a BAR file

Refresh the contents of a BAR file by rebuilding it in the BAR File editor. Alternatively, remove resources from your BAR file and, having made the required changes, add them back again.

Before you begin

This topic assumes that you have created a BAR file and added files to it. For more information, see Creating a BAR file and Adding resources to a BAR file.

About this task

You are likely to change resources that you have already added to your BAR file. BAR files that need to be refreshed are shown with an "out-of-sync" icon Inconsistent in the Application Development view. (When any changes are made to deployable files in the workspace that have previously been built in the BAR file, the BAR file is considered to be inconsistent. The BAR file is also inconsistent if any changes are made to the project to which the files belong.)

To refresh the contents of a BAR file before you deploy it, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Open the BAR file. The contents of the BAR file are shown on the Manage tab of the BAR File editor.
  2. To refresh all the resources in the BAR file on the Manage tab, click Rebuild existing BAR entries Build.

    A dialog box opens, showing progress. When the operation is complete, click Details to see information about what was refreshed, what was not, and why. If the refresh process is successful, you see the same information that is placed in the user log by each of the resource compilers.

    Alternatively, you can refresh the archive contents by right-clicking a BAR file in the Application Development view and selecting Build and Save BAR. The BAR file is rebuilt in the background.

    You can view the user and service logs on the User Log and Service Log tabs of the BAR File editor. Clear the contents of logs by clicking Remove (Clear).

  3. Optional: To view details about the build of an individual deployable resource on the Manage tab, right-click the deployable resource and click Details.
    The Properties view opens and the Details tab is displayed. The Details tab shows the following details about the deployable resource:
    • The workspace resource, with references to the linked workspace resources (for example, .msgflow .mset, .xml, and .xslt files).
    • The status of the last compilation, which shows the user log entry for the last compilation. You can copy text, but you cannot modify it.

What to do next

Deploy the BAR file by following the instructions in Deploying an integration solution.
