Create an installation package

Use the Process Center Console to create an installation package for the snapshot you want to install on the offline server.

Ensure you have the appropriate permissions for the process application.

• Administrative access to create an installation package for a Process Server in a production environment
• Write access to create an installation package for any non-production Process Server
• Read access to create an installation package for a Process Server in a development environment

Installation packages are available on the Process Center Server as long as the selected offline server exists. If you remove the offline server, the installation packages for that server are also deleted.

To create an installation package...

Procedure

1. Start Process Designer and open the Process Center Console.

2. Select the Process Apps tab, and then click the process application that you want to install.

3. Find the snapshot that you want to install and click Install.

4. Select the offline Process Server and click Create installation package.

5. If you are prompted to migrate running instances from other snapshots, select the option you need. See Migrating instances for more information about each option and Manage orphaned tokens for ways to ensure that changes to the process do not disrupt the flow of data.

   If there are no running instances on the selected Process Server, the migration option is ignored during the installation.

6. Click Create installation package.

What to do next

Extract the installation package, transfer it to the offline server, and then install it.
