BPMExtractOfflinePackage command

This command extracts the process application snapshot installation package from Process Center.

Purpose

If you want to install a snapshot on an offline Process Server, use the BPMExtractOfflinePackage command in connected mode from a Process Center server to extract the installation package to a file. The extracted file can then be installed on the offline 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.

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.
Note: Use the BPMShowProcessApplication command to obtain process application information, including the snapshot acronym.

If you are not working with a snapshot, use Tip as the value for this parameter.

-containerTrackAcronym containerTrackAcronym
On a Process Center server, 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.
-outputFile outputFilePath
A required parameter that identifies the absolute path and file name of the file you want to create with this command. The file name must be unique.
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 extract an installation package for the snapshot of the BillingDispute process application. The package was created by using the BPMCreateOfflinePackage command or the Process Center console.

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).
