BPMDeactivate command
This command deactivates a snapshot for a running process application or toolkit on the Process Center server or a Process Server.
Use the BPMDeactivate command to deactivate a snapshot. Deactivating allows all existing instances to complete processing, but no new requests are processed. In a network deployment environment, you must run this command on the node containing the application cluster member that handles Process Server or Process Center applications. Do not run this command from the deployment manager profile.
You might need to deactivate a snapshot if you want to undeploy it from a Process Center server, or if you want to stop it or undeploy it from a Process Server.
The BPMDeactivate command is run using the AdminTask object of the wsadmin scripting client.
Prerequisites
In a network deployment environment, an application cluster member runs the Process Server and Process Center applications. Therefore, you must run this command on the node that contains that application cluster member. Do not run the command from the deployment manager profile.
- If your process application uses a BPEL process as the main entry component, you must stop the corresponding BPEL template in the WebSphere administrative console. See "Administering BPEL process and task templates."
- Additionally, if this BPEL process invokes a BPD, you must allow any existing instances to complete after you stop the template but before you deactivate the snapshot. See "Administering BPEL process and task templates."
- In all cases, you must clean up the associated process instance data from the Business Process Choreographer database, as described in "Cleanup procedures for Business Process Choreographer."
Location
Start the wsadmin scripting client from the profile_root/bin directory.
Syntax
BPMDeactivate
-containerAcronym process_application_or_toolkit_acronym
-containerSnapshotAcronym snapshot_acronym
-containerTrackAcronym track_acronym
[-force]
Parameters
- -containerAcronym process_application_acronym
- A required parameter that identifies the process application or toolkit acronym. For example, the BillingDispute process application might have an acronym of BILLDISP.
- -containerSnapshotAcronym process_application_snapshot_acronym
- A required parameter that identifies the snapshot acronym.
If you are not working with a snapshot, use Tip as the value for this parameter.
- -containerTrackAcronym track_acronym
- On a Process Center server, a required parameter that identifies the acronym of the track associated with the process application or toolkit. 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. Snapshots installed on a Process Server do not have tracks.
- -force
- An optional parameter that specifies that you want to deactivate the default snapshot of a process application. Default snapshots are not deactivated unless you include the force parameter.
Example
The following example illustrates how to deactivate a snapshot of the BillingDispute process application. The snapshot is part of the MAIN track. In the example, the user establishes a SOAP connection to the Process Center server.
wsadmin -conntype SOAP -port 8880 -host ProcessCenterServer01.mycompany.com -user admin -password admin -lang jython
