You can create customized deployment modules to export parts of a server for deployment, synchronization, or backup. These modules, called export configurations, include sets of EAServer files, Java classes, and entities (application clients, applications, connectors, EJBs, and Web applications). Each export configuration may include information about cluster synchronization and dependencies to other modules.
You can use an export configuration to:
Export an entity, such as a Web application
Create a backup of a server or parts of a server
Define a set of files to be synchronized to another server in a cluster
Create specific deployment options for a server; for example, you can create a server without a Web container, or a server that contains only an EJB container
See Chapter 7, “Exporting Server Modules,” in the EAServer System Administration Guide.
