Moving web methods folder to webMethods?
I had to switch computers to work and my WEBMethods project was not migrated to the new computer. After installing WEBMethods, we noticed that my project was not copied.
So, I went to the laptop and found the folder containing the webmethods project. I copied all the files in this folder along with the folder name to my new computer.
I know I want to import this directory into WEBMethods (I noticed that WEBMethods stores all information in a huge huge XML file)
This is the folder that contains all my files for this particular project.
Question: How do I get it to navigate in WEBMethods?
Here's how you can move your package easily:
1) Log into the webMethods Console
2) Go to Packages > Management
. You will see a list of all packages on your integration server.
3) Define the packages associated with your project and for each package click 
4) On the "Archive" settings page, leave everything except the archive name. Call it something that you easily recognize.
5) At the bottom of the "Archive" settings page, click the "Create archive" button. This will create a zip file in the following folder
IntegrationServer\replicate\outbound
6) Copy the zip file to your new computer in the following location:
IntegrationServer\replicate\inbound
7) In the webMEthods web administrative console of the new computer, navigate to Packages > Management
and click the Install Inbound Releases link.
8) Select the zip file in the select box
9) Click Install Release.

When copying packages, it is always a good idea to export the package and upload it to a new location. You can use the admin page to get the package or in case you don't have access to the Admin then in that case you can use your developer / developer to get the package. Follow these steps:
- Select the package you want to move.
- For a developer, click File Menu (top left corner)> Export to save the package to the current system.
- For the designer, right-click the package you want to move. Select "Export from Server" and save the package to your current system.
- The package is now saved as a ZIP file. Copy the ZIP file to the new system.
- On your new system, place the ZIP file in the IntegrationServer \ replicate \ inbound folder.
- Open the webMethods admin page and select Packages> Manage. Click the Install incoming releases link.
- Select a package name from the drop-down list and click Install Release.
If you do not have access to the Administrator, you can transfer the zip file to the person with access and they can follow steps 5 to 7
If your package exists on an accessible server (a server where you can log in from your current computer), open a session to the server where the package exists. Also open the server where you want to host the package in the same Developer / designer. Using this method, you can simply copy a package from one server and paste it into another. But when using this, make sure that the dependent packages, if any, exist on the target server.
