Managing process applications

You can create, clone, and import process applications as well as perform other maintenance tasks on the process applications.

Before performing any of the following tasks, start IBM® Process Designer and open the appropriate view.

Note: To create and import process applications, you must have access to the Process Center repository.

Editing process application settings
Each process application and toolkit that is created in the Process Center repository includes settings that you can change while you are working in the Designer, such as global settings, environment variables, and server configurations for your process application.
Setting environment variables
Set environment variables to ensure that process implementations use correct values in each deployment environment.
Adding a server configuration
Configure servers that your process application or toolkit uses.
Cloning process applications in the Process Center console
You can create a copy of a process application using the Clone option in the Process Center console.
Archiving and deleting process applications in the Process Center console
If a process application is no longer used, you can archive it. When you archive a process application, it no longer appears in the list of all process applications in the Process Center console, and you must restore it before you can open it in the Designer view.
Removing process applications from the Process Center repository
To remove a process application from the Process Center repository, you use the Process Designer to first archive the process application and then delete it.
Importing and exporting process applications from the Process Center console
You can import process applications from other Process Center repositories, and you can also export process applications.
Undeploying a process application tip on a Process Center server
The tip is the current working version of a process application or toolkit. You can use the Process Center console to undeploy a process application tip from the Process Center server. The process application must have been created in an Advanced edition and use an Advanced Integration Service. When you undeploy a tip, all Advanced Integration Service artifacts and the associated business level application (BLA) are removed from the server. However, the process application definition and other artifacts are still present in the repository.
