  • 1.  BPMInstallPackage vs. BPMInstallOfflinePackage?

    Posted 05/20/21 01:54 PM
    Hi All,

    What is the difference between the BPMInstallPackage and BPMInstallOfflinePackage? If I exported an application from the Process Center into a zip file, which command of the two should I use to install it on a Process Server using the AdminTask?

    Thx,

    Hi Laszlo,

    If you use custom installation packages (that is with migration policies for a specific server) you can use either command. 
    If you use generic installation packages you should use BPMInstallPackage and do the migration of instances in a later step with command BPMMigrateInstances in each of the target servers.

    In fact you could do all with BPMInstallPackage. Product documentation states that BPMInstallOfflinePackage exists only to support scripts that were created for Business Automation Workflow V8.5.5 or earlier

    Hi Team, 

    You can install process applications on an offline process server by using Process Center or by using wsadmin commands and generic or custom installation packages.

    Instead of using the BPMInstallPackage command, you can also use the BPMInstallOfflinePackage command. While BPMInstallPackage handles both custom and generic installation packages as input, BPMInstallOfflinePackage handles only custom installation packages. 

    BPMInstallOfflinePackage exists to support scripts that were created for IBM BPM 8.5.5 or earlier.

    You should run BPMInstallPackage command:

     
    wsadmin> AdminTask.BPMInstallPackage('[-inputFile <process_app_file.zip> -showSnapshotInfo true]')
