Archiving a Package

There may be times when you want to make a copy of a package without making it generally available. For example, you might want to back it up or send it to someone with whom you do not have a publisher/subscriber relationship.

Note:

An alternative way of creating a backup is using the pub.packages:backupPackage service. However, when you use the backupPackage service, the package metadata of the backed up package is the same as the original package. For example, the creation timestamp will reflect the creation timestamp of the original package. For more information, see the webMethods Integration Server Built-In Services Reference.

To archive a package

1. Open the Integration Server Administrator if it is not already open.

2. In the Packages menu of the Navigation panel, click Management.

3. Locate the package you want to archive in the Package List, and click the

icon.

The server displays a screen from which you specify the files you want to archive, the type of archive (full or patch), and version information. See Specifying File and Version Information for a Release or Archive for instructions on specifying this information.

Note:

You can also archive a package automatically after installing the package. For more information, see About Installing Packages Published by Another Server.
