I need to take the backup of the running application on the JBoss EAP 7.1. I tried through the Management Console but didn’t find any way to download or save the running code of applications.  I found a solution through the command line, I tried and it worked for me.

Problem

• How to save/download a deployment deployed in JBoss EAP 7.1 content repository
• Can retrieve the deployment from the JBoss host server in any way

Solution

In JBoss EAP 7.1, there was a feature added that allows saving a deployment from the JBoss EAP content repository. Follow the process as given below:

• Login to the server and go to directory /opt/EAP-7.1.0/bin/

  [root@dbappweb ~]# cd /opt/EAP-7.1.0/bin/
  [root@dbappweb bin]# ll jboss-cli.sh
  -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root    2473 Nov  4  2017 jboss-cli.sh

• Run the jboss-cli.sh script and connect to the JBoss standalone server

  [root@dbappweb bin]# ./jboss-cli.sh
  You are disconnected at the moment. Type 'connect' to connect to the server or 'help' for the list of supported commands.
  [disconnected /] connect dbappweb:9990

• List the deployed applications (*.war)

  [standalone@dbappweb:9990 /] ls deployment
  test.war	app.war

• Now execute the below command, it will save the test.war deployment to /home/sonu/test.war

  [standalone@dbappweb:9990 /] attachment save --operation=/deployment=test.war:read-content() --file=/home/dbappweb/test.war
  File saved to /home/dbappweb/test.war
