[AMXAdminTask] 03 Oct 2023 22:39:09 ERROR - TIBCO-AMX-CLI-000019: Error invoking action add on ResourceInstance: Adding Resource Instances...

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 7 seconds
======================================

Hence, follow the below resolution steps that will help us to overcome this error and allow us to create ResourceInstance using CLI script at a different scope.

Issue/Introduction

If we create a ResourceTemplate using CLI script, which is at application scope ResourceInstance creation, fails with "TIBCO-AMX-CLI-000810: Resource template ' was not found in scope ''null' null'" Error Message. Hence, The scope of this article is to help you to overcome this error.

Environment

All Supported Environments.

Resolution

In order to overcome this error message we need to add scopeType and applicationName in resourceinstance_data.xml to make it work.

General Format :
==============
<ResourceInstance xsi:type="amxdata:ResourceInstance"
name="<Resource_Instance_Name>"
resourceTemplateName="<Already_created_Resource_Template_Name>"
scopeType="<Scope_You_want_to_use>"
applicationName="<Name_of_application>"/>
==============

Example Snippet from "resourceinstance_data.xml" file :
==============
<ResourceInstance xsi:type="amxdata:ResourceInstance"
name="KB_Test"
resourceTemplateName="KB_Test"
scopeType="Application"
applicationName="amx.bpm.app"/>
==============

Once the above changes are done you can run the "resourceinstance_build.xml" script by using the ant command with the required task/action. This time it will not fail with the earlier error message and we will able to create a ResourceInstance at application scope.

Sample Command :
ant -f resourceinstance_build.xml create

Sample Output of ResourceInstance creation without any errors :
==================================
C:\ProgramData\CONFIGAMXBPM432\tibco\data\admin\amxadmin432\samples>ant -f resourceinstance_build.xml create
Buildfile: C:\ProgramData\CONFIGAMXBPM432\tibco\data\admin\amxadmin432\samples\resourceinstance_build.xml
