IBM BPM - Monitoring Exports and Imports

I've recently been using some of the IBM BPM scripted commands, including BPMCreateOfflinePackage and BPMExtractOfflinePackage and BPMInstallOfflinePackage.

Whilst doing this, it's always useful to monitor how the corresponding export / import / install processes are going.

Want to know how ?

Watch the logs for messages that include: -

wle_expimp

as per the following example: -

This is also immensely useful: -

Collect troubleshooting data for process application deployment problems in IBM Business Process Manager (BPM)

including the trace strings: -

For IBM Business Process Manager Advanced : 

On the AppTarget cluster for the Process Center and the Process Server, set the trace string to ​ *=info: WLE.*=all:com.ibm.bpm.fds.*=all:ProcessApplicationLifecycle=all:
com.ibm.bpm.fds.repo.util.ContributionHelper=off:WLE.wle_expimp=finest 

For IBM Business Process Manager Standard or IBM Business Process Manager Express : 

On the AppTarget cluster for the Process Center and the Process Server, set the trace string to ​ *=info: WLE.*=all:WLE.wle_expimp=finest

One thing about which I'm learning is when imports fail with Error: You are not authorised to change this workspace. As far as I can establish, this is due to the user performing the import ( a non-admin user, of course ) does NOT have read access to a dependent  toolkit.

I'm continuing to learn, so watch this space.
