WebSphere Lombardi Edition 7.2 >
Manage the Process Center repository
The Process Center includes a repository for all processes, services, and other assets created in Lombardi Authoring Environment. The following sections provide an introduction to the types of tasks involved in managing and maintaining the Process Center repository.
Overview
The Process Center Console provides the tools that you need to maintain the repository. The following figure illustrates how the Process Center Console provides access to the Process Center:
- From the Process Center Console, you can create process applications and toolkits and grant other users access to those process applications and toolkits.
- Users in Lombardi Authoring Environment create process models, services, and other assets within process applications.
- The Process Center includes a Process Center Server and Performance Data Warehouse, allowing users working in Lombardi Authoring Environment to run their processes and store performance data for testing and playback purposes.
- From the Process Center Console, administrators install process applications that are ready for testing or production on the Process Servers in those environments.
- From the Process Center Console, administrators manage running instances of process applications in configured environments.
Where to perform tasks
The Process Center Console provides a convenient location for users to create and maintain high-level library items such as process applications and toolkits. For users who are primarily administrators and do not actively work in the Designer view, the Process Center Console enables you to provide a framework in which BPM analysts and developers can build their processes and underlying implementations. Another primary task for administrators is managing access to the Process Center repository by setting up the appropriate authorization for users and groups.
Those users with appropriate authorization can perform some administrative tasks directly in the Designer view in Lombardi Authoring Environment. For example, if a developer wants to capture the state of all project assets at a particular milestone, with write access to the process application, he can create a snapshot while working in the Designer view.
The procedures in the following sections provide instructions for users working in the Process Center Console as well as the Designer view.
