Packaging resources

Package message flow applications by adding required resources, optionally with their source files, to a broker archive (BAR) file.

Before you start:

Develop and test the message flow applications that you want to package; see Developing integration solutions and Testing and debugging message flows.

Before you can deploy your message flow applications to a broker, you must package them into BAR files. If you want to deploy the following resources, the packaging step can be completed automatically when you deploy the resource; see Deploying resources:
  • A single application or library
  • A single message flow
  • A single subflow that is defined in a .subflow file
In most cases, you are working with one or more applications, libraries, message flows, and other objects that you want to deploy with the message flows. In these cases, you can deploy these resources together by packaging them in a BAR file yourself, and deploying just that file. For instructions about how to package resources into a BAR file, see the following topics:
  1. Compiling resources for the mqsipackagebar command
  2. Creating a broker archive (BAR) file
  3. Adding files to a broker archive
  4. Refreshing the contents of a broker archive

You can edit configurable properties for the BAR file in the BAR file editor, or by using the mqsiapplybaroverride command. For more details, see Editing configurable properties.

Next:

Deploy your BAR files to a broker; see Deploying resources.
