BPMImport command
This command imports a process application into the Process Center.
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.
The BPMImport 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:
- 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.
Location
Start the wsadmin scripting client from the profile_root/bin directory.
Syntax
BPMImport
-inputFile input_file_path
Parameters
- -inputFile input_file_path
- 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 and find the value for SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS).
