Editing toolkit settings

Each process application and toolkit created in the Process Center repository includes settings that you can change while working in the Designer, such as global settings, environment variables and server configurations for your process application.

To edit toolkit settings, you must have administrative access to the toolkit or you must be the user who created the toolkit.

Procedure

To edit toolkit settings:

Open the toolkit in the Designer view. The Toolkit Settings editor opens. The settings editor is always available from the drop down list in the toolbar, and cannot be closed.
To edit the general settings, click the Overview tab:

Setting Description

Name Type a new name or alter the existing name.
Acronym Type a new acronym or alter the existing one. The acronym for a toolkit must be unique and is limited to seven characters.
IBM BPM uses the acronym to identify this toolkit and the library items that it contains and so it must be a valid JavaScript identifier. When you change the acronym, any existing scripts or other implementations in the toolkit that rely on the current acronym will be broken unless you update them with the new acronym. For this reason, IBM Process Designer displays a warning, requesting confirmation to continue with the change.
Description Type a new description or alter the existing one.
Exposed Items The Overview page provides a shortcut list of exposed items to allow for quick navigation to important artifacts in your toolkit. Web services in a toolkit are always exposed. You must explicitly expose BPDs and Human services by choosing the exposure settings from the Overview page of the item. See Exposing BPDs or Exposing a Human service
Coach XSL The Coach transform XSL that you specify in this field is used for all Coaches in the toolkit except individual Coaches with a transform XSL override set to something other than <Use Default>. By default, this field is set to the CoachDesigner.xsl file that resides in the System Data toolkit.
You can click New to browse for and add a new Coach XSL to the toolkit as a managed design file. Or you can click Select to choose a managed design file that has already been added to the toolkit.
Coach CSS The Coach CSS that you specify in this field is used for all Coaches in the toolkit except individual Coaches with a CSS override set to something other than <Use Default>. By default, this field is set to the coach_designer.css file that resides in the System Data toolkit.
You can click New to browse for and add a new Coach CSS to the toolkit as a managed web file. Or you can click Select to choose a managed web file that has already been added to the toolkit.
Advanced XML Settings The Namespace field in the Advanced XML Settings pane identifies the namespace of the toolkit. If you do not enter a specific namespace identifer, the editor automatically populates the Namespace field with a shortened version of the toolkit name.
The Optimize settings for IBM Integration Designer check box indicates that this project is being used or is intended to be eventually used in collaboration with IBM Integration Designer.

To set environment variables (such as port numbers) for each deployment environment, click the Environment tab and see Setting environment variables for instructions.
To add server configurations, click the Server tab and see Adding a server configuration for instructions.
Click Save in the main toolbar.
