Extracting Runtime Assets
To extract My webMethods Server runtime assets using the MWS Admin view, you must be connected to the My webMethods Server instance where the application is deployed. The MWS Admin view is available by default on the UI Development perspective.
You must extract skin assets into an existing skin project, or create a new skin project. You cannot extract skin assets into a content project.
Extract all other assets into an existing or new content project.
When you select an asset to extract, Designer displays any existing project that matches the asset type in the Project field of the Extract Asset into Project dialog box. You can use an existing project or create a new project.
To extract runtime assets into a project
1. In the MWS Admin view, expand an asset node to select an asset to extract, right-click, and click Extract Asset Into Project.
2. In the Extract Asset into Project dialog box, do one of the following:
Select an existing project in the
Project list. Only projects that match the asset type (content or skin) are displayed.
Click
New and use the wizard to create a new project (either skin or content, depending on the asset type).
3. In the Extract Asset into Project dialog box, click Finish.
For content asset types, an xmlImport file is inserted in the WEB-INF/assets directory of the specified project. When a skin is extracted, the results are added to the root directory of the skin project.
