Exporting solutions

Export the solution project as an archive to deploy the solution to an Insight Server. If you updated global aggregates, you can use the exported solution archive to deploy the solution and these updates to the server.

Before you begin

Before you export the solution project, you can use the New solution version numbers wizard to increment the version number of the solution project and its agents.

Procedure

  1. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the solution project, and click Export.
  2. Select Insight Designer > Solution Archive, and then click Next.
  3. Make sure that the solution project is selected.
  4. Click Browse to specify where you want to generate the .esa archive.
    Note: If you change the name of the archive, the solution symbolic name remains the one specified in the manifest file of the solution project.
  5. Click Finish to generate the archive.

Results

The generated archive is an enterprise subsystem archive (.esa). The archive is a Liberty feature that you can deploy to the Insight server.

The name of the archive is based on the solution symbolic name plus the version number.

What to do next

You can now deploy the solution archive to an Insight Server.
