BPMUpdateInstallationInformation command

This command associates the generic installation package that is created by the BPMExportInstallPackage with a specific server so that you can install a snapshot onto that server.

Use the BPMUpdateInstallationInformation command with the BPMExportInstallPackage command and the BPMInstallPackage command to create scripts that install a snapshot onto a server.

The BPMUpdateInstallationInformation command is run by 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 that contains the application cluster member that handles Process Center applications. Do not run this command from the deployment manager profile. The generated file is saved on the machine where the connected server is running. To save the generated file on another machine, establish a remote wsadmin session from the current machine to the server on the machine where you want to save the file.

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

BPMUpdateInstallationInformation 
-containerAcronym process_application_acronym
-containerSnapshotAcronym process_application_snapshot_acronym
-containerTrackAcronym track_acronym
-serverName server_name

Parameters

-containerAcronym String: A required parameter that identifies the process application or toolkit acronym. For example, the BillingDispute process application might have an acronym of BILLDISP.
-containerSnapshotAcronym String: A required parameter that identifies the snapshot of the process application or toolkit through its acronym.
If you are not working with a snapshot, use Tip as the value for this parameter.
-containerTrackAcronym String: A required parameter that identifies the acronym of the track that is 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.
-serverName String: A required parameter that identifies the server to associate with the process application or toolkit snapshot and track.

Example

The following example illustrates how to associate the installation package of a snapshot of the BillingDispute process application with the server1 server. In the example, the user establishes a SOAP connection to the Process Center server.

Important: In a network deployment environment, use the port that is configured for the application cluster member that runs the Process Server or Process Center applications. To determine the correct port number, see the administrative console Ports collection page (click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name > Communications > Ports and find the value for SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS).
