Building process applications
In IBM® Business Automation Workflow, process applications are the containers for business processes that are created in IBM Process
Designer.
You can either create process applications in Workflow Center or export and import process applications into Workflow Center. After a process application is created or imported, it is stored and listed in the Workflow Center repository. You open process applications in Process Designer where you can create and edit the business processes within those process applications.
