Deploying IBM App Connect Designer flows and APIs to integration servers

If you want to run a flow that was authored in App Connect Designer in your production environment, you must first export the event-driven flow or flows for an API (alternatively referred to as an API flow) as a BAR file. You can then upload the BAR file to the content server in an App Connect Dashboard instance, define the configurations that you want to apply to the BAR file, define settings for the integration server, and then create the integration server.

Note: You can also create an integration server by deploying multiple BAR files that are stored in an external repository system. For more information, see Mechanisms for providing BAR files to an integration server or integration runtime.
