Library mirroring

In a collaborative development environment between IBM Integration Designer and IBM Process Designer artifacts like business objects are shared in libraries. Library mirroring means that when you put an artifact in your library in Integration Designer it is made available to others working with the same library in Process Designer who are using the same process application or toolkit.

When you bring a process application or toolkit into your workspace, the libraries associated with them have library mirroring enabled. You cannot change the setting.

When you associate a library in your workspace with a process application or toolkit that you have brought into your workspace, library mirroring is not enabled by default. You can enable library mirroring if you want to share the artifacts in your library in Integration Designer with Process Designer.

To see if a library has mirroring enabled and, if permitted, change the setting, right-click the library and from the menu select Properties > Business Integration > Library Mirroring. A check box beside Mirror the library as soon as it is associated with the Process Center determines if mirroring is enabled.

There may be circumstances when you may not want users in Process Designer changing artifacts.

For example, you may have business objects for a standard financial report used in your corporation that must be left as is. Consider setting up users and groups and restricting access to only those who are authorized to make updates to the artifacts.
