file. Extract the
rhpam-7.13.5-standalone-sample-configuration.zip

To run the Business Central standalone JAR file, enter the following command:
java -jar rhpam-7.13.5-business-central-standalone.jar --cli-script=application-script.cli
To set application properties when you run the JAR file, include the
-D<PROPERTY>=<VALUE>
parameter in the command, where<PROPERTY>
is the name of a supported application property and<VALUE>
is the property value:java -jar rhpam-7.13.5-business-central-standalone.jar --cli-script=application-script.cli -D<PROPERTY>=<VALUE> -D<PROPERTY>=<VALUE>
For example, to run Business Central and connect to KIE Server as the user
controllerUser
, enter:java -jar rhpam-7.13.5-business-central-standalone.jar \ --cli-script=application-script.cli \ -Dorg.kie.server.user=controllerUser \ -Dorg.kie.server.pwd=controllerUser1234
