Exporting a CICS bundle project to your local file system

If you want to back up your bundle source code manually, 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 exported project archive to z/OS® UNIX file system for use by CICS because the archive is not in the correct format. To create deployable CICS bundle projects, you must use the Export Bundle Project to z/OS UNIX File System wizard or the CICS build toolkit. See Working with bundles in the CICS Explorer product documentation.

Procedure

  1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click your CICS Bundle project and select Export.
    The Export dialog opens.
  2. In the Export dialog, expand General, and click Archive File.
  3. Click Next.
  4. 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.
  5. Click Finish.
