TIBCO BW: can we build an ear using command line based on a .archive?

Question

I am using TIBCO Designer 5.11 and I can build the ear using the designer based on the .archive file in my project. However, for automated builds and deployment, I would like to do the same through command line. I have multiple .archive files in my project and would like to build only a specific ear at a particular time.

Answer 1

There are the utilities "BuildEar" (to build ears) and "AppManage" to deploy/undeploy in your tra/ tra-version /bin folder of your TIBCO installation. They are executable on commandline & could be scripted in an automated build/deployment script.

Building one specific archive within a project would look like this:

buildear.exe -o c:\temp\abc124.ear -ear /abc124.archive -p c:\temp\SampleService

(Check the help by simply executing the commands on commandline). Hope that helps
