Importing projects

You can import business applications (applications), templates, toolkits, or workflow automations that another user has shared with you by exporting the file.

Before you begin

Before you import projects, ensure you have access to the repository.
Important: Import the dependent toolkits before you import the process application or toolkit. To preserve the toolkit versioning order, import them in the correct order. The last imported toolkit is the tip in the new IBM Business Automation Studio.

Procedure

  1. Select Business applications or Business automations.
  2. Click Import.
  3. Click Browse to locate and select the file that you want to import.
    When the import is complete, the imported project is included in the list of Business applications, Templates, Toolkits or Business automations > Workflow.
    Important: When you import a project from an on-premises Process Designer, you might see errors, which means that you must modify dependent toolkit versions or artifacts to enable your project to be installed and run in this environment. For information about resolving these errors, see Converting project artifacts.
    Alternatively, you can import projects by using the Operations REST API. For more information about the Operations REST API, see IBM Business Automation Workflow Operations REST APIs.
    Remember: If you are importing workflows by using the Operations REST API, you must invoke the Operations REST API from the IBM Workflow Server, which is the domain and port you see in the browser URL when you open a workflow in Workflow Designer.

What to do next

The user who imports a project has administrative access to that project. Administrators can grant access to other users and groups as described in Managing access to the repository.
