Deploying a Mule application from Anypoint Studio to the Mule ESB server.

Overview

These instructions assume that you have a Mule project that you want to export in the Anypoint Studio and the Mule server is up and running. In this example Mule runtime is installed to the C:\Mule -directory.

For Mule runtime installation see http://integrationstuff.blogspot.fi/2018/03/installing-and-running-mule-esb.html

Instructions

Right click on the project and select "Export".



Select "Anypoint Studio Project to...".



Select the directory where you want to export the package.



A zip package is created to the c:\Temp -directory.



This is not really mandatory, but you might want to stop the Mule service to prevent any problem with the deployment (Mule service trying to read in the zip before it's fully copied to the apps dir).



Copy the zip to the C:\Mule\apps -directory.



Start the Mule service.



An anchor file for the app is created.



Check the "C:\Mule\logs\mule.log".



Test the integration. Put a txt file to the "C:\Temp\in" -directory.

From the "C:\Mule\logs\myfirsttestproject.log" you can see what happended to the file and if there were any errors.



Congratulations, you have successfully deployed a Mule app.

If you want to undeploy the app, just delete the anchor file "C:\Mule\apps\myfirsttestproject-anchor.txt". Mule automatically removes the app from "C:\Mule\apps" when the achor file is not present.
