For a Java web application. I have a need to get a copy of the WAR file and examine its code. However I do not want to bring the application down as it is currently deployed by Tomcat. If I simply copy the deployed WAR file and paste it in some other folder in Windows File Explorer, this operation would not affect the current application correct? Or do I need to actually bring down the application and let our users know we need a downtime before I do a copy and paste operation of the WAR file?

You will not have issues with that.
