BPMImport command

This command imports a process application into the Process Center.

Purpose

Use the BPMImport command in connected mode from a Process Center server to import a process application that was exported from a different Process Center server.

In a network deployment environment, you must run this command on the node containing the application cluster member that handles Process Center applications. Do not run this command from the deployment manager profile. The input file is read from the machine on which the connected server is running. If you want to access the file from another machine, establish a remote wsadmin session from the current machine to the server on the machine where the file is stored.

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 for the exported file (a .twx file) you are importing.

Example

The following example illustrates how to import the BILLDISP.twx file into the Process Center Server. In the example, the user establishes a SOAP connection to the Process Center 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 ProcessCenterServer01.mycompany.com -user admin -password admin -lang jython

AdminTask.BPMImport('[-inputFile C:\processApps\BILLDISP.twx]')

Jacl example

wsadmin -conntype SOAP -port 8880 -host ProcessCenterServer01.mycompany.com -user admin -password admin

$AdminTask BPMImport {-inputFile C:\processApps\BILLDISP.twx}
