Deployment Package (.bda)

The deployment package contains all information necessary to deploy a workflow in the BISGrid Engine. This includes

  • the bpel code
  • the deployment descriptor
  • WSDL and Schema resources

Generelly, a deployment package is a standard zip archive that ends with .bda.

Demo Deployment Archive

You can download the jobsubmission.bda deployment package here . To deploy it e.g. using the Command Line Workflow Management Client (see Downloads) as a workflow with the name "jobsubmission" (if you use a diffrent name, you have to at least edit the access rules inside the deployment descriptor). Nevertheless, even with the name jobsubmission the workflow will not run at first go. You have to adjust the Deployment Descriptor (deployment.pdd).

  • Unpack the bda (unzip jobsubmission.bda)
  • open the deployment.bdd in an editor
    • correct the url to your target system service inside the partner link section
    • correct the url to the service inside the service description section
  • zip all files again into the jobsubmission.bda
