Developing an application from WebSphere Business Modeler

You can design a process in WebSphere Business Modeler and import it into IBM BPM or Integration Designer for additional development.

WebSphere Business Modeler and WebSphere Integration Developer offered tools to help users model a process in WebSphere Business Modeler and use WebSphere Integration Developer to refine the model, supplement it, and deploy it to a process server. You can still work in the same way between WebSphere Business Modeler and IBM Integration Designer. However, because the base levels are different, you cannot install those two products in a shell-sharing environment. As well, if you associate an Integration Designer project with a process application, you can no longer synchronize changes with the original model; the flow goes only one way.

You can also create a model in WebSphere Business Modeler and export it for use with IBM BPM.

• Scenario: Business process management
  Business process management is a discipline combining software capabilities and business expertise to accelerate process improvement and facilitate business innovation.
• Scenario: Human workflow management
  Most business processes involve people in some way. This scenario provides a very high-level view of the concepts and steps for a process in which people play a significant or dominant role. See the documentation under Developing integration applications > Using people interactions for detailed information about the topics introduced here.
