Hi Laxmana,

If you have a package kept under replicate/inbound folder, goto the IS Admin screen >> Management >> Install Inbound Releases >> select the package and click Install package…

You can maintain backup of your package in several ways…

  1. Export the package from Developer and save it in your local system… It is like a backup at a particular time…

  2. In the Admin page of IS, click on Publishing in the left pane where you can create release for the package…

  3. Under Management view in Admin page, besides the Package list, click on Archive which will archive your package…

Read developer users guide for more to understand better…

If the question is for “Backing-up” your packages, you can do this from the Package management screen by clicking the “Archive” icon and if needed supply a date identifier in the archive name. This archive will be kept in you IS>replicate>outbound directory. Deployer on the other hand does not require there to be a backup or archive. It will grab the deployment candidate package, make it a zip from the IS>Packages area. You can also save any information, packages, property files, etc, etc of to a Change management system or archiving application.

This is straight forward… Goto Developer, click on the package and select File >> Export… You can save the zip file… Put this inside replicate/inbound and choose Install inbound release as mentioned earlier… If it did not come with your zip file which you have now, then there might be some problem with the zip file which you have…
