Importing toolkits from the Process Center Console
You can import toolkits from other IBM BPM libraries using the Process Center Console.
Follow these steps to import toolkits from an IBM BPM export (.twx) file:
Procedure
- Select the Toolkits tab.
- Click the Import Toolkit option.
- In the Import Toolkit window, click the Browse button to locate the IBM BPM export (.twx) file that you want to import.
Toolkits that you import should have unique acronyms. If an acronym is not unique, the import completes with a warning; however, attempts to install snapshots that include references to a toolkit with a non-unique acronym will fail with an error.
- Click the Next button to import the selected .twx file. In the Import Toolkit window, click to expand the sections that show the snapshots that will be imported and the snapshots that are already available (and will not be imported).
- Click the Import button. When the import is complete, the imported toolkit is included in the list in the Toolkits tab.
What to do next
Imported toolkits are immutable, which means that no one can change the items within an imported toolkit. The user who imports a toolkit has administrative access to that toolkit. Administrators can change the immutable quality of a toolkit by enabling the Allow users to update toolkit option in the Manage tab for the imported toolkit.
Administrators can also grant other users access to an imported toolkit. The following table describes the type of access that the toolkit administrator can grant to other users and groups:
Access Type Description Read Users with Read access can clone the imported toolkit or copy items from the toolkit to a different toolkit or process application. Write Users with Write access have all the capabilities included with Read access plus they can import a new version of the toolkit and archive older versions of the toolkit. Write access also enables users to restore previously archived versions. Admin Users with Admin access have all the capabilities included with Write access plus they can grant or remove administrative access to the toolkit. Administrators can grant access to other users as described in Manage access to process applications and toolkits.
