Archive files

An archive file is a compressed file that contains selected processes and/or resources that you want to export.

For each process, the archive automatically contains the latest revision of each resource used in the process, such as process diagrams, forms, custom components, services, endpoints, service configurations, and sub-processes.

Note: External resources are automatically included in an archive file only if they are referenced by the Form variables. Resources referenced by the operation properties are not automatically included but may be added to the archive manually.

An archive can also contain resources that are not related to any processes.

You can include as many processes and/or resources as you need in the archive file.

The services installed with LiveCycle ES (such as the User service and the Forms service) are not included in the archive because these services are expected to be present in the destination environment.

The file name extension of an archive is .lca.
