WorkspaceConsole parameters

Introduction

The WorkspaceConsole utility is designed to work with bpm'online packages. Use the utility to:

• Export packages from development environments and migrate them to test environments or production environments (the packages are saved as archives).
• Install new packages when upgrading or migrating from development environments.
• Import and export schema resources and data for localization.
• Create and transfer workspaces between applications.
• Work with configuration schemas.

Because the WorkspaceConsole utility is multifunctional, it must be run with certain parameters. Parameter values are passed as command-line arguments when the utility starts. Parameters are used to configure WorkspaceConsole to perform specific operations. Utility parameters are not case sensitive.

WorkspaceConsole parameters

The -help parameter

Run WorkspaceConsole with this parameter to see the full list of parameters with their brief description. If you specify other parameters, they will be ignored.

The -operation parameter

Specify the required operation name here. This parameter is required. The default value is LoadLicResponse. Possible method parameters are listed in table 1.

Table 1. WorkspaceConsole parameters

Operation	Description
LoadLicResponse	Saves licenses to the database (specified in the connection string). The only operation that does not require the -workspaceName parameter.
SaveRepositoryContent	Saves the contents of zip archives specified in the -contentTypes parameter from the directory specified in the -sourcePath parameter to the directory specified in the -destinationPath parameter.
SaveDBContent	Saves database content to the file system. Content type is determined by the contentTypes parameter value. The destinationPath parameter is used to specify the path in a file system. One of the following parameters must be specified: -webApplicationPath or -configurationPath. The -confRuntimeParentDirectory parameter must be specified.
SaveVersionSvnContent	Saves the package hierarchy (zip-archives) to the destinationPath directory from several SVN repositories, separated by commas in the sourcePath parameter.
RegenerateSchemaSources	Performs the regeneration of source codes and their compilation. The -confRuntimeParentDirectory parameter must be specified.
InstallFromRepository	Saves the latest version of the SVN structure and metadata into the database. Bound SQL-scripts, source code regeneration, and bound data installation are performed if necessary. This parameter only works with new or modified packages and their elements. One of the following parameters must be specified: -webApplicationPath or -configurationPath. The -confRuntimeParentDirectory parameter must be specified.
InstallBundlePackages	Installs the set of comma-separated packages specified in the -packageName parameter to the workspace specified in the -workspaceName parameter. One of the following parameters must be specified: -webApplicationPath or -configurationPath. The -confRuntimeParentDirectory parameter must be specified.
PrevalidateInstallFromRepository	Checks if zip archive package installation is available.
ConcatRepositories	Merges multiple repositories.
ConcatSVNRepositories	Merges multiple SVNrepositories.
ExecuteProcess	Starts the business process execution in the configuration (if the process is found). The -confRuntimeParentDirectory parameter must be specified.
UpdatePackages	Updates the packages (the -packageName parameter) that are located in the product package hierarchy (the -productPackageName parameter) in the application database. One of the following parameters must be specified: -webApplicationPath or -configurationPath. The -confRuntimeParentDirectory parameter must be specified.
BuildWorkspace	Compiles the workspace (configuration). Used for developing schemas in VisualStudio (see: “Working with the server side source code”). The -confRuntimeParentDirectory parameter must be specified.
ReBuildWorkspace	Compiles the workspace (configuration) entirely. Used for developing schemas in VisualStudio (see: “Working with the server side source code in Visual Studio”). The -confRuntimeParentDirectory parameter must be specified.
UpdateWorkspaceSolution	Updates the Visual Studio project solution and files (see: “Working with the server side source code in Visual Studio”).
BuildConfiguration	Generates static content in the file system (see: "Client static content in the file system"). Uses the following parameters: -workspaceName, -destinationPath, -webApplicationPath, -logPath, -force. If the -force parameter is set to “true”, static content is generated for all schemas. If the -force parameter is set to “false”, static content is generated for modified schemas only. One of the following parameters must be specified: -webApplicationPath or -configurationPath.

The -user parameter

Authorization username. Only specified if this information is missing from the configuration utility file or if it is necessary to perform the operation on behalf of another user.

The - password parameter

Authorization password. Only specified if this information is missing from the configuration utility file or if it is necessary to perform the operation on behalf of another user.

The -workspaceName parameter

The name of the workspace (configuration) used to perform the operation.

The -autoExit parameter

Used to automatically terminate the utility process after the operation is completed. Available values – true or false. Default value – false.

The -processName parameter

The name of the process that needs to start.

The -repositoryUri parameter

The SVN directory path for storing the package structure and metadata (optional). Overrides the same configuration property specified in the -workspaceName parameter.

The -sourceControlLogin parameter

SVN repository username.

The -sourceControlPassword parameter

SVN repository password.

The -workingCopyPath parameter

Local directory of working package copies, stored in SVN.

The -contentTypes parameter

Content type (for example, resources) extracted from packages. Possible values are listed in table 2.

Table 2. Possible content type values

Content type	Description
SystemData	System diagram data in JSON format. All system schemas and their columns are saved (except for those specified in the -excludedSchemas parameter).
ConfigurationData	Configuration schema data in JSON format. All system schemas and their columns are saved (except for those specified in the -excludedSchemas parameter).
Resources	Resources of localizable configuration schemas in XML format.
LocalizableData	Resources of localizable configuration schemas in XML format. Only text columns are saved. Additional restrictions are specified in the -excludedSchemas and -excludedSchemaColumns parameters.
Repository	Workspace data in zip format.
SqlScripts	Package SQL scripts.
