If you do not have authorization to deploy a bundle directly
to a z/OS® file system, or you
want to back up your bundle source code, you can export the bundle
project to your local file system.
About this task
Exporting a CICS® bundle
project to your local file system exports the bundle source code and
files in an archive file. You can add the project into a source code
repository or share the project with another user who can import the
project into CICS Explorer®.
Do
not deploy the bundle project source to the z/OS UNIX file
system from outside CICS
Explorer, because the tool packages the project for deployment
and handles the file encoding for you.
Procedure
- In the Project Explorer view, right-click your CICS Bundle project and select Export. The Export dialog opens.
- Click on Archive File in the tree.
- Click Next.
- Ensure that all the files in the project are selected.
Enter a file name in the To archive file field.
Select Save in .zip format.
- Click Finish.
Results
You have exported the bundle to your local file system.
What to do next
Back up the bundle project or share it with another user.
If
you have Java™ installed on yourz/OS file system, you can use the
following command to uncompress the file into the current directory:
jar -xvf zipfile
