Use this command to create an installation package for
a process application snapshot on the Process Center server. You cannot
use the BPMCreateOfflinePackage command to set
the migration plan.
Purpose
To install a snapshot on an offline
Process Server, use the BPMCreateOfflinePackage command
in connected mode from a Process Center server to create an installation
package of a snapshot. This package is stored in the database. You
can use the extract the package to a zip file with the BPMExtractOfflinePackage
command, and then install the zip file on the offline Process Server
with the BPMInstallOfflinePackage command.
In a network deployment environment, you must run this
command on the node containing the application cluster member that
handles Process Server applications. Do not run this command from
the deployment manager profile.
Note: If you are using a SOAP connection,
the command can take longer to complete than the specified SOAP timeout
value. Although the command continues to run until it is finished,
you might see the exception java.net.SocketTimeoutException:
Read timed out. To prevent this exception, set a higher
value for the com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout property in the profile_root/properties/soap.client.props
file.
Parameters
- -containerAcronym containerAcronym
- A required parameter that identifies the process application acronym.
For example, the BillingDispute process application might have an
acronym of BILLDISP.
- -containerSnapshotAcronym containerSnapshotAcronym
- A required parameter that identifies the process application snapshot
acronym.
If you are not working with a snapshot, use Tip as
the value for this parameter.
- -containerTrackAcronym containerTrackAcronym
- A required parameter that identifies the acronym of the track
associated with the process application. Snapshots can have a track
if track development is enabled in the Process Center and is applied
for playback on the Process Center server; by default, the value is Main.
- -serverName serverName
- A required parameter that identifies the offline Process Server
instance.
Tip: If you do not know the acronym
for a required parameter, use the BPMShowProcessApplication command
to list the details of a process application, including acronyms.
Example
The following example illustrates
how to establish a SOAP connection to the Process Center server, and
then create an installation package for the snapshot of the BillingDispute
process application.
Important: In
a network deployment environment, use the port configured for the
application cluster member that runs the Process Server or Process
Center applications. To determine the correct port number, see the
WebSphere administrative console Ports collection page (click and find the value for SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS).
