Deployer 10.7 | Using Project Automator | Exporting Projects to Project Automator
 
Exporting Projects to Project Automator
To configure automatic projects, you provide the necessary specifications for automated project creation in an XML file. Only the root tag and the tag that identifies Deployer are required in the XML file.
Sample XML files are provided in the Integration Server_directory /instances/instance_name/packages/WmDeployer/config directory. There are two files: ProjectAutomatorSampleForRepository.xml provides an example of a repository-based automated project, and ProjectAutomatorSampleForRuntime.xml shows a sample runtime-based automated project. You can also export a project you created in the GUI for use in Project Automator.
After you create a project in the GUI, you can export the project to a specification XML file that you can then use to automate your project. You specify the data to include in the specification XML file. You can export the alias, deployment set, build, map, and deployment candidate definitions associated with the project.
*To export a project from the Deployer user interface
