Packaging and deploying your app

Use the QRadar® GUI Application Framework to package your app as an archive (.zip file) and deploy it to your IBM® QRadar test environment.

1. Open a shell prompt and use the cd command to go to the bin sub folder of your SDK installation folder.
2. Package your app by using the following command syntax:

   qradar_app_creator package -w <path_to_app_folder>/<app_name_folder> -p <app_name.zip>

   • To package an app on UNIX or Linux computers, type the following command:

     qradar_app_creator package -w <path_to_app_folder>/<app_name_folder> -p <app_name.zip>

   • To package an app on a Windows computer, type the following command:

     qradar_app_creator package -w <path_to_app_folder>\<app_name_folder> -p <app_name.zip>

3. Upload your app (extension) to your QRadar Console by using the following command, and then press Enter.

   qradar_app_creator deploy -q <QRadar_console_IP> -u admin -p <app_name.zip>.

   Here is an example of the command:

   qradar_app_creator deploy -q 10.11.12.13 -u admin -p com.me.myapp.zip

   Note: Make sure that you record the application ID for your app from Application Creation Task state output that is returned when you issue the qradar_app_creator deploy command. You need it when you export you app as a QRadar extension.

   In the following example, the application ID is 1023.

   Application Creation Task state: {u'status': u'COMPLETED',
    u'application_id': u1023', u'error_messages': u'[]'}
