bak

[Former Member]

hi,

why we need to remove those .bak after uploaded in portal

[former_member189631]

• In poratal, BAK file is nothing but BACKUP Folder
• par(portal archive) file contains jar(java archive) + war (web Archive)
• so all par files will be stored in the folder with the BAK extn.
• When you download your BAK file from portal it will be BAK extn
• If you want to change any of your par file you can upload your par into NWDS to make modifications.
• Since you need to upload par file in portal you have to excract par from BAK which contain ur par file.
• When you export ur project into portal , that will be converted into par file and stored as BAK file in portal.

Hi,

BAK files are backup files. They are appended when we deploy the par file to the server. This means server keeps the par as backup in pcd directory. So each time server is restarted, these bak files are not updated. But if you try to place a par file in the pcd folder, after server is restarted, the file will be automatically have .bak extn added.

According to this document, https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3755ad90-0201-0010-b795-ea900d80... (pg.18) , file successfully deployed will have .par.bak extn while that have errors will have .par.err extn

Hi,

The files which are uploaded to server are uploaded as par. Then the par files are attached bak extn as backup files. Now if you don't have to remove the bak extn unless you need to change something in the par file or the application. Because the par files are used for deploying, if we want to do some changes, we convert the bak to par, thereby making it easier to import in developer studio. Once new par is ready, we can deploy it to server and it will be automatically converted to .par.bak extn.

Hi,

-->BAK and BK files usually are backups of other documents or files.The BAK (or BK) file extension normally represents files that are backup copies of other file. There is no 'standard' file format for BAK files. BAK files can represent virtually anything.

--> portal archieve format is the one that you can deploy on your portal and run it on portal, PAR files are nothing but these files, but when you deploy it , a .BAK is upended to the PAR name, that is because a backup is created

Backup, often created automatically by various programs or the operating system; for example, Windows may create BAK files for the System.ini and Win.ini files.

So for your application to get deployed, it has to be in .PAR format, so this is why you remove .bak for PAR file name
