When you create a process application or a toolkit, IBM® Business Process Manager creates
a single default track named Main. After tracks are
enabled for a process application or toolkit, you can create additional
tracks.
About this task
To create a new track, you must enable tracks and you
must use a snapshot as the basis for a new track.
If process applications or toolkits contain IBM BPM Advanced content (later called advanced
content), before you create tracks in the Process Center console, ensure that process applications and
toolkits are brought into IBM Integration
Designer to create
the default library and module. For information about the known limitations of working with advanced
content in Process Center, see Limitations when working with process applications and toolkits.
Procedure
- Select the Process Apps or Toolkits tab.
- Select the process application or toolkit for which you
want to create a new track.
- If a snapshot does not exist, create one by clicking Create
New Snapshot.
- Click the New Track option for the
snapshot.
Note: The New Track option
is available only if you have enabled tracks for the process application
or toolkit.
- Enter a name and, optionally, a description, and click Save.
When you create a new track, the
Process Center console
displays a drop-down menu for the process application or toolkit that
enables you to select the track that you want.
Note: An acronym is
automatically generated for the track. The acronym for the new track
is derived from the first character of each word in the track name.
For example, if the track name is My New Track, an
acronym of MNT is automatically generated. The acronym
is used to differentiate multiple versions of a process application
snapshot or toolkit. For more information, see "Naming conventions".
- To access the new track, click the Tracks drop-down
menu and select the track that you want.
- To open the new track in the Designer in IBM Process
Designer,
click Open <name of track> in Designer.
