Importing existing assets into IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.6

Import assets into IBM® Business Process Manager V8.5.6 using the Process Center Console.

Procedure

  1. Verify that the IBM Business Process Manager Process Center Server is running and then start the Process Center Console. To access the Process Center Console, either start IBM Process Designer or open your web browser to: http://[host_name]:[port]/ProcessCenter.
  2. Import previously exported process applications and toolkits as described in Importing and exporting process applications from the Process Center console and Importing toolkits from the Process Center console.
    Important: Import first the toolkits and then the process applications. To preserve the toolkit versioning order from your current Process Center, import them in the correct order. The last imported toolkit will be the tip in the new Process Center.
  3. If your imported assets include tracking groups or other data that is required by Performance Data Warehouse, be sure that the warehouse is running and then select File > Update tracking definitions from the main menu. Updating existing definitions enables authors to capture data that is needed to test reports (and other assets that require performance data) while they develop those assets in IBM Process Designer.
  4. Update the existing dependencies by opening the Designer view in IBM Process Designer and completing the following steps for each process application and toolkit:
    1. Under Toolkits, right-click System Data toolkit.
    2. Select Change Version of dependency.
    3. Select the V8.5.6 snapshot from the Change Dependency snapshot list.
