BPMInstallOfflinePackage command

This command installs a process application snapshot from a Process Center to an offline process server that is not currently connected to the Process Center.

Purpose

Use the BPMInstallOfflinePackage command in connected mode from a process server to install a process application snapshot installation package on the process server. 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.

The installation package must already be created and extracted on the server. After this command is complete, the installed snapshot is active.

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

-inputFile inputFilePath: A required parameter that identifies the absolute path of the offline installation package you created and extracted on the Process Center server and transferred to the offline server.

Example

The following example illustrates how to install a snapshot of the BillingDispute process application. The snapshot installation package (BillingDispute.zip) was created and extracted on the Process Center server and is being installed on the offline process server ProcessServer.

In the example, the user establishes a SOAP connection to the Process Server.

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 Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name > Communications > Ports and find the value for SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS).

Jython example

wsadmin -conntype SOAP -port 8880 -host ProcessServer.mycompany.com -user admin -password admin -lang jython

AdminTask.BPMInstallOfflinePackage('[-inputFile C:\myProcessApps\BillingDispute.zip]')

Jacl example

wsadmin -conntype SOAP -port 8880 -host ProcessServer.mycompany.com -user admin -password admin

$AdminTask BPMInstallOfflinePackage {-inputFile C:\myProcessApps\BillingDispute.zip}

Important: In a clustered environment, the SOAP connection parameters used for the wsadmin command should point to one of the cluster members where the application is to be deployed, and not to the deployment manager.
