BPMExtractMigrationPolicy command

Edit online
This command extracts the migration policy from Workflow Center.

When you are installing a snapshot on an offline Process Server, use the BPMExtractMigrationPolicy command in connected mode from a Workflow Center server to extract the information used to migrate instances from other snapshots to the newly installed snapshot.

The BPMExtractMigrationPolicy command is run using the AdminTask object of the wsadmin scripting client.

Prerequisites

Note: In an environment with multiple security domains configured, use the PALService MBean instead of this wsadmin command. See The Process Application LifeCycle (PAL) MBean.
The following conditions must be met:
  • Run the command in the connected mode; that is, do not use the wsadmin -conntype none option.

  • In a network deployment environment, you must run this command on the node containing the application cluster member that handles Workflow 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.

Location

Start the wsadmin scripting client from the profile_root/bin directory.

Syntax

-containerAcronym process_application_acronym
-containerSourceSnapshotAcronym snapshot_acronym
-containerTargetSnapshotAcronym snapthot_acronym
-outputFile output_file_path

Parameters

-containerAcronym String
A required parameter that identifies the process application or toolkit using its acronym. For example, the BillingDispute process application might have an acronym of BILLDISP.
-containerSourceSnapshotAcronym String
A required parameter that identifies the snapshot that contains the instances that you want to migrate.
-containerTargetSnapshotAcronym String
A required parameter that identifies the snapshot that you want to move the instances to.
-outputFile String
A required parameter that identifies the absolute path and file name of the file that contains the information used to migrate instances from the source snapshot to the target snapshot. The file name must be unique and have the .xml extension.

Example

The following example illustrates how to extract the migration policy information for the BillingDispute process application.

In the example, the user establishes a SOAP connection to the Workflow Center server.
This topic applies only to the IBM Business Automation Workflow Advanced configuration.Important: In a network deployment environment, use the port configured for the application cluster member that runs the Workflow Center or Workflow Server 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).
