v Export within a package Deployment configuration files are included within the package that is created when you export either user projects or individual ICLs to a repository package file, as described in "Exporting components to a package using System Manager" on page 68. When you do this for an ICL, any deployment configuration file (*.dfg file) that you created on that ICL will be included in the package. When you do this for a user project, the deployment configuration files that were created on any of the ICLs in the user project will be included in the package. If you selectively choose only certain components from an included ICL when you export the user project as a package, the deployment configuration file corresponding to that ICL will include properties and values for only those selected components. v Export to a deployment configurator file You can export a file of deployment configuration properties, as described in "Export and import of deployment configuration properties." This is especially useful if you are exporting a repository file package from an InterChange Server Express repository, as described in Chapter 6, "Using repos_copy," and you want to include deployment configuration properties. When you create a deployment configuration file, the file resides within System Manager, not within the InterChange Server Express repository. Consequently, when you use repos_copy to create a package from an InterChange Server Express repository, the deployment configuration file is not included. To add it, you can export the deployment configurator file using the Export Property Descriptor dialog, and then copy the configuration content into the repos_copy package file, using this syntax: repos_copy -sserverName -uusername -ppassword -ireposcopyfile -ixdideploymentdescriptorfile When you export an ICL or User Project from System Manager , the deployment descriptor.dfg file with the relevant entries will be included with the repository jar file. You can then use the repos_copy utility to repos copy the .jar file into the server. The values for the configuration file inside the .jar file will be automatically applied to the components before being deployed to the server. If you do not want the transformations to happen, you can suppress them using the following option: repos_copy -sserverName -uusername -ppassword -ireposcopyfile -xdn The -xdn option ignores the .dfg file inside the repository .jar file and sends the deployment package to the server without changing the property values. Export and import of deployment configuration properties After deployment configuration properties have been created in Deployment Configurator for one server, you can export those properties to a file, and then import that file as the starting point for the deployment configuration properties of another server. To do so, right-click in a field in the Property Name column, and choose Import. The Import Properties dialog appears, providing the following choices: v Overwrite Property Descriptor This selection is the default. If you use this selection, all the server names, integration components, properties, and values established in the existing deployment configuration file will be removed, all the server names and properties and values established in the file being imported will be added. In effect, you are replacing the entire content of the original file with the entire content of the file being imported. 74 IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus: System Implementation Guide
