Workflow Manual / Version 2506.0
Table Of Contents
With the upload tool you can add new process definitions to the workflow
server.
usage: cm upload -u <user> [other options]
[-f <definition path> [-j <jar path>] |
-n <name1> <name2> ...]
available options:
-n,--names <names> names of built-in workflows to upload
-d,--domain <domain name> domain for login (default=<builtin>)
-f,--definition <def> file name of the workflow definition to
upload
-g,--grpc-endpoint <addr> gRPC endpoint address to connect to
-j,--jar <jar> file name of the workflow jar to
upload (deprecated)
-p,--password <password> password for login
-u,--user <user name> user for login (required)
--url <ior url> url to connect to
The options have the following meaning:
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
-n
|
Specify workflows by filename (such as
studio-two-step-publication.xml). This works only for the
standard workflows which are delivered with the
CoreMedia CMS.
|
-f
| Specify the XML file which contains the process definition. This option is available only if your CoreMedia CMS license includes the usage of custom workflows. |
-j
|
Deprecated:
Specify an optional JAR file which contains custom resources for your workflow.
Required classes should be added to the classpath of the Workflow Server
instead. This option cannot be used if the Workflow Server is configured
to disallow JAR uploads with property workflow.server.use-uploaded-jar=false.
Also, it is only useful in combination with the -f option
for custom workflows. The standard workflows don't need additional resources.

Table 3.4. Options of upload
If a process definition with the name of the uploaded process definition exists already, that definition is superseded by the uploaded definition. Process instances of the old definition run to completion, but additional instances are built using the new definition.
If your process definition references custom Java classes, such classes are preferentially
loaded from the classpath of the Workflow Server. Only
if a class with a given name is not found there, then it will be read from an uploaded JAR file,
if not disabled with configuration property workflow.server.use-uploaded-jar.
