Refreshing the contents of a broker archive

Before you start:

You should already have created a broker archive and have added resources to it. You are likely to have subsequently made changes to those resources that you want reflected in the archive before you deploy it.

You can refresh the contents of a broker archive by removing resources from it and, having made required changes, add them back again. Alternatively, use the Refresh option in the Broker Archive editor.

Follow these steps to refresh the contents of a broker achive:

  1. Switch to the Broker Administration perspective.

    Broker archive (bar) files that need to be refreshed are shown with an 'out-of-synch' icon (Inconsistent) in the Navigator view. (The bar file is considered to be inconsistent when any of its deployable workspace files has a time stamp that is later than that of the bar file.)

  2. Double-click your bar file in the Navigator view to open it.

    The contents of the bar file are shown in the Content editor. Icons indicate resources that are consistent (Consistent), and those that need to be refreshed (Inconsistent).

  3. To refresh all the resources in the broker archive, click Refresh (Refresh).

    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 was successful, you see the same information that is placed in the user log by each of the resource compilers.

    Alternatively, you can refresh the achive contents by right clicking a bar file in the Navigator view and selecting Refresh Archive Contents. The broker archive is rebuilt in the background.

    You can view, and clear (Clear), the user and service logs by clicking the appropriate tabs in the Broker Archive editor.

  4. (Optional) To view the properties of an individual resource in the Content editor, right-click the resource and click Show in Properties.
    The Deployable properties view opens (if it is not already in the perspective) and shows details of the resource that you have selected. The view has two fields:
    • Workspace Resource, with references to the linked workspace resources .msgflow, (.mset, .xml, and .xslt files, for example).
    • Last Compile Status, which shows the user log entry for the last compilation. You can copy text, but you cannot modify it.

Next:

Continue to deploy your bar file.
