Archiving toolkits in the Process Center Console
If a toolkit is no longer used, you can archive it. When you archive a toolkit, it no longer appears in the list of toolkits in the Process Center Console, and you must restore it before you can open it in the Designer view.
If you archive a toolkit and that toolkit has existing dependencies in the Designer, those dependencies remain intact, including implementations that rely on library items within the toolkit. However, you should not use archived toolkits when creating toolkit dependencies in the Designer view because archived items are not considered part of the active IBM BPM library.
If that only the business process definitions of the process application are archived. If the process application contains BPEL processes and the associated instance data has to be archived, follow the instructions in "Archiving completed BPEL process and task instances".
Procedure
To archive toolkits:
- Select the Toolkits tab.
- In the list of toolkits, click the toolkit that you want to archive.
- Click the Manage option.
- Click the Archive Toolkit option.
- When prompted, click the Archive button to confirm that you want to archive this toolkit.
Results
The toolkit is archived.To view or restore the archived toolkit, click the Archived filter in the Toolkits tab.
The restore action brings back only the business process definitions of the process application. If the process application contains BPEL processes and the associated instance data was archived, the restore action does not bring back the archived process instance data.
