Redeploying an Application: Changes Made to EAR and Deployment Files

If you change both the TIBCO Designer project and the deployment configuration file, you must upload both when redeploying. For example, you may want to make the following changes:

• add new services or delete existing services (adapter, process or form flow archives)
• add or remove deployment level or service level variables (including Adapter SDK properties)
• change checkpoint storage from File to JDBC or JDBC to JDBC, where the new JDBC Shared Resource was not part of the Shared Archive in the original EAR file

If you have changed both the TIBCO Designer project and the deployment configuration file, complete the following steps to redeploy the changed application:

1. Build an EAR file using the buildear utility. For example:buildear -s -ear /filenotify.archive
2. Generate a new deployment configuration file using the EAR file created in the previous step, the deployment configuration file used when previously deploying the application and specify a new deployment configuration file.
3. After you have made the changes to your deployment configuration file, you are ready to deploy the application.
