Moving a web methods folder into webMethods?

I had to switch computers at work and my WEBMethods project was not moved to the new computer. After installing WEBMethods we noticed that my project had not been copied over.

So I went in to the laptop and found the folder that contains the webmethods project. I copied all of the files in that folder along with the folder name to my new computer.

I know want to import that directory to WEBMethods (I noticed WEBMethods stores all of the information in a huge, huge XML file)

This is the folder that contains all of my files for this specific project.

Question: How can I get it moved into WEBMethods?

Solution

Here's an easy way to move your package:

1) Login to the webMethods administrative web console

2) Navigate to Packages > Management. You'll see a list of all the packages on your integration server.

3) Identify the packages related to your project and for each package click on enter image description here

4) On the "Archive" setup page, leave everything as is except for the archive name. Name it to something you'll easily recognize.

5) At the bottom of the "Archive" setup page, click on the "Create Archive" button. This will create a zip file in the following folder

IntegrationServer\replicate\outbound

6) Copy the zip file to the new computer at the following location:

IntegrationServer\replicate\inbound

7) In the webMEthods administrative web console of the new computer, navigate to Packages > Management and click on the "Install Inbound Releases" link.

8) Select the zip file in the select box

9) Click on "Install release".
