AppManage Commands - To deploy applications in Batch Mode

---

     Continuation to the earlier post : AppManage Commands - To deploy applications in TIBCO Administration domain

       We can use AppManage utility to deploy the applications in batch mode. In real time, there might be a scenarios like to migrate/move all applications from one domain to other domain. So, we can use AppManage utility in batch mode to deploy, undeploy, start, stop and delete the applications.

       To demonstrate, We have used the domain created in earlier post : TIBCO Administration Domain Creation using Domain Utility in GUI Mode and we consider below two applications i.e."TechsNibApp","TechsNibApp2" to perform batch mode deployments in an administration domain using AppManage utility.

As show above, we can build the ear either by using TIBCO Designer in GUI mode (or) we can use buildear utility in command line mode. To know, how to build ear using buildear utility, follow the earlier post on : buildear utility usage in TIBCO BW

     To use the AppManage utility in batch mode you must first create an AppManage.batch file. This file lists the applications and their corresponding EAR and XML files. While you can create the file manually, the easiest way is to generate the file using -batchExport option. In addition to creating the AppManage.batch file, the option creates an EAR and XML file for each application in the given domain as below :

The AppManage utility and AppManage.tra file are installed in the <<TIBCO_HOME>>\tra\version\bin directory. Navigate to this location through command prompt and run below command by passing required parameters mentioned as below :

AppManage -batchExport -domain TechsNib_Domain -user TechsNib -pw TechsNib -dir F:\TIBCO\BW\Batch\ Summary of options used : -batchExport  --> To export all applications from specified TIBCO Domain -domain     --> Domain name from which applications are exported -user       --> Administrator domain user name -pw         --> Administrator domain user password -dir        --> Location of the exported AppManage.batch,EAR and XML files AppManage.batch file : List of exported files:

--> Now you can use below AppManage utility command to deploy both the applications specified in AppManage.batch file that is located in the directory specified for the '-dir' option.

AppManage -batchDeploy -domain TechsNib_Domain -user TechsNib -pw TechsNib -dir F:\TIBCO\BW\Batch\ Summary of options used : -batchDeploy  --> To batch deploy applications to the specified TIBCO Domain -domain      --> Domain name to which applications are deployed -user       --> Administrator domain user name -pw         --> Administrator domain user password -dir        --> Location of the files used to deploy the applications

--> The following command is used to start both the applications specified in AppManage.batch file that is located in the directory specified for the '-dir' option.

AppManage -batchstart -domain TechsNib_Domain -user TechsNib -pw TechsNib -dir F:\TIBCO\BW\Batch\ Summary of options used : -batchstart   --> To start applications in batch mode -domain     --> Domain name -user       --> Administrator domain user name -pw         --> Administrator domain user password -dir        --> Location of the AppManage.batch file

--> The following command is used to stop both the applications specified in the AppManage.batch file that is located in the directory specified for the '-dir' option.

AppManage -batchstop -domain TechsNib_Domain -user TechsNib -pw TechsNib -dir F:\TIBCO\BW\Batch\ Summary of options used : -batchstop   --> To stop applications in batch mode -domain     --> Domain name -user       --> Administrator domain user name -pw         --> Administrator domain user password -dir        --> Location of the AppManage.batch file

--> AppManage utility is used to kill the applications in batch mode.The following command forces an immediate shutdown of each service instance or process engine specified in the AppManage.batch file that is located in the directory specified for the '-dir' option.

AppManage -batchkill -domain TechsNib_Domain -user TechsNib -pw TechsNib -dir F:\TIBCO\BW\Batch\ Summary of options used : -batchkill  --> To kill applications in batch mode -domain   --> Domain name -user    --> Administrator domain user name -pw     --> Administrator domain user password -dir     --> Location of the AppManage.batch file

--> AppManage utility is used to undeploy the applications in batch mode. The following command undeploy both the applications specified in the AppManage.batch file that is located in the directory specified for the '-dir' option.

AppManage -batchUnDeploy -domain TechsNib_Domain -user TechsNib -pw TechsNib -dir F:\TIBCO\BW\Batch\ Summary of options used : -batchUnDeploy --> To batch undeploy applications in the specified TIBCO Domain -domain     --> Domain name from which applications are undeployed -user       --> Administrator domain user name -pw         --> Administrator domain user password -dir        --> Location of the AppManage.batch file

--> The following command is used to delete all applications specified in the AppManage.batch file that is located in the directory specified for the '-dir' option. You can use '-force' option to undeploy and delete the application in one operation.

AppManage -batchDelete -domain TechsNib_Domain -user TechsNib -pw TechsNib -dir F:\TIBCO\BW\Batch\ -force Summary of options used : -batchDelete  --> To delete applications in batch mode -domain     --> Domain name -user       --> Administrator domain user name -pw         --> Administrator domain user password -dir         --> Location of the AppManage.batch file -force      --> To undeploy and delete applications in one operation

   Please note we can check the logs of AppManage command executed in TIBCO administrative domain in <<TIBCO_HOME>>\tra\domain\<<Domain_Name>>\logs\ApplicationManagement.log file.
