Cloning process applications in the Process Center console

You can create a copy of a process application by using the Clone option in the IBM® Process Center console.

To clone a process application, complete the following steps:

1. Select the Process Apps tab.
2. In the list of process applications, click the process application that you want to clone.
3. Click Clone from the snapshot menu (). The Process Center console opens the Process Apps tab and displays the cloned process application or toolkit with COPY added to the end of the original name and the number 2 added to the end of the original acronym.
4. To change the name and acronym of the cloned application, click the application to open it, click Manage and then edit the text in the appropriate fields.
5. To create library items in the process application or perform other edits, click Open in Designer.

   Cloning does not change the namespace of the cloned process application. One reason to keep the namespace the same in the cloned application is that other process applications might refer to that namespace. If you do want to change the namespace in the cloned process application, it can be updated in the Advanced XML Settings section of the Process App Settings page.

   Tip: You might receive a log exception similar to

   com.lombardisoftware.expimp.jaxb.ibminterchng.DependencyManager updateExternalDependencies Service with ID TWProcess.3c4810a7-c8a4-44e6-b93f-d1ee84cb3b40 not found.

   You can safely ignore this exception. The process application is still cloned successfully.
