Installing and Updating Packages on a Server Instance

Building Your Event-Driven Architecture : Integration Server Administrator’s Guide : Running Multiple Integration Server Instances : Installing and Updating Packages on a Server Instance

Use the update command to update existing packages and to install other packages on a server instance.

When you run the update command, the script copies the packages you specify from the webMethods Integration Server package repository to the new instance.

Note:

When you install or update packages using the installer, you have the option to install packages on the initial instance created by the installer. If you select this option, packages are copied to that instance automatically during installation; therefore, you do not need to run the update command on that instance.

Note:

Application Platform and ActiveTransfer can be used with the instance of Integration Server created by the installer only.

To update packages on an Integration Server instance

1. Stop the Integration Server instance.

2. Navigate to the following directory:

Integration Server_directory \instances

3. Run the is_instance script as follows:

is_instance.bat update -Dinstance.name=instance_name -Dpackage.list=package_list

Where...

Specify...

instance_name

The name of the instance to which you want to add packages.

package_list

A comma separated list of packages to add to the server instance. For example, packageA,packageB.

Note:

This option does not accept white-space characters (or blank spaces).

Specify all to add all non-predefined packages in the webMethods Integration Server package repository located in the Integration Server_directory \packages directory.

For a list of predefined packages, see Predefined Packages.

The script adds the packages to the Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\packages directory.
