You can copy a package and its contents to another Integration Server from within Designer by performing a copy or a drag-and-drop action. Copying packages using either of these methods provides a quick way to share a set of services and their supporting files with other developers in a development environment.

You can also copy a package from within the Integration Server Administrator by replicating the package. You can then send, or publish, the package to other Integration Servers. Copying packages using this method allows you to customize the way in which packages are replicated and published. This method is useful for managing releases between development and production environments, for deploying releases to partners or customers, or for distributing package updates to developers working in large, collaborative environments.

For information about replicating packages and managing releases from within Integration Server Administrator, see webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
