Managing tool kit dependency with IBM BPM

Managing tool kit dependency with IBM BPM

Recently I've imported the Process Application developed in IBM BPM 8.0.1 into IBM BPM 8.5.6 process designer

My intention is to create installation package and get it deployed in process server

While executing command 'BPMCreateOfflinePackage' to create package received below error

wsadmin>$AdminTask BPMCreateOfflinePackage {-containerAcronym MAP2 -containerSnapshotAcronym 16SEP01 -containerTrackAcronym Main -serverName "Process Server Test"} WASX7015E: Exception running command: "$AdminTask BPMCreateOfflinePackage {-containerAcronym MAP2 -containerSnapshotAcronym 16SEP01 -containerTrackAcronym Main -serverName "Process Server Test"}"; exception information: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Process application snapshot 16SEP01 could not be deployed.  The process application uses a toolkit that depends on a different version of the system toolkit than the one used by the process application.

Then only I noticed the warning triangle symbols against tool kits in process designer

Hovering over the triangle shows options as shown below

Chosen option 'Upgrade Dependency to 8.5.6.0'

Same like I did upgrade dependency for other two tool kits except 'BPM Dojo Charting Tool kit" hence it didn't show that option

Then I gone back to process center view to locate the tool kit

Opened the tool kit in process designer

There I can see this tool kit depends on another System Data and Coaches tool kit as highlighted below and tool kit was shown as read only

How to make the tool kit editable?

Switch back to process center window

Click on tool kit and click on manage

There is a check box with description "Allow user to update tool kit", check that

Switch back to designer window

Hover over the tool kits and choose option upgrade dependency

Dependency has been resolved

Take a new snapshot

Switch back to process center window and open the process app in designer window

When you hover over the triangle next to tool kit "BPM Dojo Charting'

You can see new option Upgrade Dependency to 16sepv01

Here 16sepv01 is the snapshot we took after upgrading the tool kit dependency

Choose that option upgrade dependency to 16sev1

Now you can see the tool kit area is free from that warning triangle

With all the dependencies resolved take new snap shot of the process app

Switch back to process center and activate this snapshot

I'm going to generate the offline package

$AdminTask BPMCreateOfflinePackage {-containerAcronym MAP2 -containerSnapshotAcronym 162 -containerTrackAcronym Main -serverName "Process Server Test"}

Now it got executed successfully

$AdminTask BPMExtractOfflinePackage {-containerAcronym MAP2 -containerSnapshotAcronym 162 -containerTrackAcronym Main -serverName "Process Server Test" -outputFile /IBM/BPM/v85/MAP_16SEP_OfflineDeployment.zip}
