To create a RAS asset, you export one or more entire projects or you export one or more individual files. You can export a plug-in project as a deployable plug-in.
If you export complete projects, the complete projects are added to the RAS asset consumer's workspace at import time. If you exported a plug-in project, the plug-in is installed into the environment of the asset consumer at import time. If you exported individual artifacts, the artifacts are placed into an existing project or folder at import time.
Each of the projects or artifacts you want to export must be saved prior to export. In the Navigator view, locate the project or models you want to export and save them. Also, if you plan to use either the Default Component or Default Web Service (profiles) manifest files, you must create these files before you begin the export.
