Importing existing assets into IBM BPM V8.0.1

Use the Process Center Console to import assets into IBM BPM V8.0.1.

Verify that the IBM BPM Process Center Server is running and then start the Process Center Console. To access the Process Center Console, either start IBM Process Designer or open your web browser to: http://[host_name]:[port]/ProcessCenter.

  1. Import previously exported process applications and toolkits as described in Importing and exporting process applications from the Process Center Console and Importing and exporting toolkits from the Process Center console.

    If you import a process application or toolkit from Teamworks 7.0.0 or 7.0.1 that contains a password in its implementation (for example, a protected web service implementation), the password field is blank when the import into IBM BPM V8.0.1 completes.

  2. If your imported assets include tracking groups or other data required by Performance Data Warehouse, be sure the warehouse is running and then select File > Update tracking definitions from the main menu. Updating existing definitions enables authors to capture data needed to test reports (and other assets that require performance data) while developing those assets in IBM Process Designer.
  3. Update the existing dependencies by opening the Designer view in IBM Process Designer and following the steps below for each process application and toolkit:
    1. Under Toolkits, right-click System Data toolkit.

    2. Select Change Version of dependency.

    3. Select the 8.0.1 snapshot from the Change Dependency snapshot list.
