About this task
The following restrictions apply when you convert a single
project to an application or library:
- You can convert only integration projects, Java™ projects, and message set projects.
- You can select multiple projects to convert to applications or
static libraries, but you cannot convert more than one integration
project at a time. To convert multiple integration projects, you must use the Analyse
and Convert Multiple Projects wizard.
- You cannot convert a project that refers to a library.
- If an integration
project is referenced
by another integration
project, you can convert
it to a static library only.
- When you select the Convert single project option,
no precondition checks are made, such as checking for references to
projects that do not exist. If your project might contain references
to other resources, use the Analyse and Convert Multiple
Projects wizard to analyze all projects and resources.
To complete precondition checks before you convert a project, select
the option Analyse and Convert Multiple Projects.
To convert a single project to an application or library, without
making precondition checks, complete the following steps.
Procedure
- In the Application
Development view, right-click
the project or projects that you want to convert, then click .
- Select either an application or a
library.
- Click Finish.
Results
The project is converted into an application or static library
and is shown in the
Application
Development view.
The contents of the original project are now shown under the new application
or library.
What to do next
After you create an application or library, you can continue
with any of the following tasks:
If you converted an integration
project that referred to a Java project, you can now convert
the Java project to a library
so that it can be used by other applications. In the Application
Development view, right-click the Java project, click Add
project to existing container, then select an existing
shared library or other container.
You can also convert an
application to a static library, or a shared or static library to
an application, by following the instructions in Converting between applications and libraries.
