To access the ColdFusion Archives page, select Packaging and Deployment > ColdFusion Archives in the left navigation pane of the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
On the ColdFusion Archives page, locate the name of the archive definition that you want to archive, and then click the Build Archive icon. The Archive Wizard appears.
In the Archive Wizard, review the archive summary information, and then click Next to continue. The Choose Archive File Location page appears.
On the Choose Archive File Location page, do the following:
In the File Name text box, specify the full path where you want to store the archive, followed by the name of the archive. The archive name must have a .car extension.
For UNIX users only: If you must run this archive as a privileged user, select the Run this archive as a specific user option, and then enter any system account name in the User name text box and the corresponding account password in the Password text box. The user name and password must match the existing user name and password for this system; the archive process will run as that user. If the user name and password do not match the existing user name and password for this system account, the build procedure fails.
Click Next to create the archive.
When the archive operation completes, one of the following archive messages appears:
Archive completed successfully The archive was successfully created and stored in the location that you specified in step 4a of this procedure. Click Done to return to the Create ColdFusion Archive page.
