Check the bundle download status of an EBA asset
Update an asset to use a new bundle version might require bundle downloads. We cannot update an asset until bundle downloads are complete from any previous update. Before you try and update bundle versions, you can check the bundle download status of the asset.
Before you begin
In addition to the approach given in this task, you can also check the bundle download status indirectly, by checking the status of the associated OSGi composition unit as described in Check the update status of an OSGi composition unit.
About this task
You use the administrative console to check the bundle download status of an EBA asset. This status is either "Bundles downloading...", "Bundle downloads are complete", or "No bundles downloads are required".
Procedure
- Start the administrative console.
- Navigate to Applications > Application Types > Assets > asset_name.
The Asset settings panel is displayed.
Results
The current bundle download status for all bundles and composite bundles for this asset is displayed in the EBA Dependencies section. If the bundle downloads for any previous update have completed, the option to update bundle versions is available under the Additional Properties section.
What to do next
- If bundle downloads for the asset are complete, or no bundle downloads are required, you can update the asset as described in Update bundle versions for an EBA asset.
- If a new version of the EBA asset is available, and all bundle downloads for the asset are complete, you can update the OSGi composition unit so that the business-level application uses the newer configuration.
