Refreshing the contents of a broker archive

Refresh the contents of a broker archive (BAR) file by rebuilding it in the Broker Archive editor. Alternatively, remove resources from your broker archive and, having made the required changes, add them back again.

Before you start:

This topic assumes that you have created a BAR file and added files to it. For more information, see Creating a broker archive (BAR) file and Adding files to a broker archive.

You are likely to change resources that you have already added to your BAR file. BAR files that need to be refreshed are shown with an "out-of-sync" icon Inconsistent in the Application Development view. (When any changes are made to deployable files in the workspace that have previously been built in the broker archive, the BAR file is considered to be inconsistent. The BAR file is also inconsistent if any changes are made to the project to which the files belong.)

To refresh the contents of a BAR file before you deploy it, complete the following steps.

  1. Open the BAR file. The contents of the BAR file are shown on the Manage page of the Broker Archive editor.
  2. To refresh all the resources in the BAR file on the Manage page, click Rebuild existing broker arcive entries Build.

    A dialog box opens, showing progress. When the operation is complete, click Details to see information about what was refreshed, what was not, and why. If the refresh process is successful, you see the same information that is placed in the user log by each of the resource compilers.

    Alternatively, you can refresh the archive contents by right-clicking a BAR file in the Application Development view and selecting Build and Save Broker Archive. The broker archive is rebuilt in the background.

    You can view the user and service logs on the User Log and Service Log pages of the Broker Archive editor. Clear the contents of logs by clicking Remove (Clear).

  3. Optional: To view details about the build of an individual deployable resource on the Manage page, right-click the deployable resource and click Details.
    The Properties view opens and the Details tab is displayed. The Details tab shows the following details about the deployable resource:
    • The workspace resource, with references to the linked workspace resources (for example, .msgflow .mset, .xml, and .xslt files).
    • The status of the last compilation, which shows the user log entry for the last compilation. You can copy text, but you cannot modify it.
Next:

Deploy the BAR file by following the instructions in Deploying a broker archive file.
