Offline deployment
Offline deployment is the way to deploy process applications onto process server when process server environment not connected to process center environment.
Offline deployment process involves series of 'wsadmin' commands
Parameters required by "BPMCreateOfflinePackage" determined by the following commands
$AdminTask BPMListProcessApplications
$AdminTask BPMShowProcessApplication {-containerAcronym XXXX}
$AdminTask BPMListServers
|
|
3. BPMInstallOfflinePackage @ Process Server |
BPMCreateOfflinePackage & BPMExtractOfflinePackage
As the command name implies, you'll use this command to create installation packages of a process application snapshot from the process center server
The BPMCreateOfflinePackage command is run using the AdminTask object of the wsadmin scripting client and wsadmin scripting client should run in connected mode and beware of the following condition
Note: In a network deployment environment, you must run this command on the node containing the application cluster member on the Process center server. Do not run this command from the deployment manager profile.

 |
Syntax of create offline package
$AdminTask BPMCreateOfflinePackage {-containerAcronym value1 -containerSnapshotAcronym value2 -containerTrackAcronym value3 -serverName value4}
|
We'll find out the values of following parameters
|
1.containerAcronym
found by running
($AdminTask BPMListProcessApplications)
Below screen shot shows the list of process applications on Process Center server and their corresponding container Acronym
Note:each process apps will have an Acronym
|
  |
2. containerSnapshotAcronym
3. containerTrackAcronym
found by running
($AdminTask BPMShowProcessApplication {-containerAcronym XXXX})
Note: each process apps have no of snapshots associated
Here I've chosen the Process Application with acronym as MYS
|
$AdminTask BPMShowProcessApplication {-containerAcronym MYS}
Command output shows the list of snapshots for the process application chosen
Make sure the snapshot is in Active state
containerTrackAcronym is Main and it's common for all snapshots in a process application
containerSnapshotAcronym vary based on the snapshot name
 |
4. serverName
found by ($AdminTask BPMListServers)
Note: The server need to configured as offline to be listed here
|
wsadmin>$AdminTask BPMListServers
Servers:
Name: Process Server Test
URL: corbaname:iiop:bpmprocessserver.local.com:9810
|
Now, we know values of all 4 parameters required to create Offline Package
Create offline package
|
 |
Extract offline package
Here you'll mention the package name and the directory where it should get extracted
|
 |
Make sure the offline package is generated on the out put directory
|
 |
Transfer the offline deployment package to Process Server environment
BPMInstallOfflinePackage @ Process Server
Navigate to bin directory BPM installation
Launch wsadmin client and connect to SOAP port of Process Server application cluster member
C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin>wsadmin -conntype SOAP -port 8882 -host bpmprocessserver.local.com -user psadmin -password psadmin
WASX7209I: Connected to process "PSDE1.SingleCluster.processserverlocalNode03.0" on node processserverlocalNode03.0 using SOAP connector; The type of process is: Man

Execute "BPMInstall OfflinePackage" as shown below
