Included toolkits

By default, the System Data toolkit and UI toolkit are included with Application Designer. These toolkits can be added as dependencies when you build your templates and applications.

The System Data toolkit

The System Data toolkit (TWSYS) provides base types, services, and other assets that are required to build workflow automations and toolkits, and is installed by default as a dependency with a workflow automation or toolkit. For more information, see System Data toolkit.

UI toolkit

The UI toolkit (SYSBPMUI) contains a set of views that are reusable user interface components. The UI toolkit views are available in the Application Designer palette when you design pages for your application. You can use views to design applications that can run on multiple device types, such as mobile and desktop devices. All the views in the UI toolkit are suitable for use on both desktop and mobile devices. For more information, see UI toolkit. For details about the methods, events, and other reference information that is related to programming for each view, see UI toolkit JavaScript API.

Workplace toolkit

The Workplace toolkit (SYSWPT) consists of a set of views that you can use to design your own client-side human service-based business applications and dashboards that are customized for work management in Workplace. The Workplace toolkit views are available in the Application Designer palette for dashboard and application design. For more information, see Views in the Workplace toolkit. For methods, events, and reference information for each view, see Workplace toolkit JavaScript API.

Case toolkit

The Case toolkit (SYSCT) includes a set of views and services for integrating cases and processes. The toolkit also provides a default Add Case, Split Case and Case Details layouts, which present a set of views in a predefined format. The Case toolkit is automatically added as a dependency into a new case solution. For existing case solutions, it is added as a dependency when the default client-side human service views are created. For more information, see Case toolkit.

Content Management toolkit

The Content Management (SYSCM) toolkit contains views and services for creating user interfaces to work with documents. For more information, see Content Management toolkit.

Content Services toolkit

The Content Services toolkit (SYSCST) provides views and services for content management and document processing. Some view functions are similar, but you can use these views in different scenarios. For more information, see Content Services toolkit.

Updating the UI toolkit and the System Data toolkit

To take advantage of the latest UI Toolkit and System Data Toolkit, you must update your toolkits on your Application Engine after you upgrade your containers. This step ensures that the applications that you build are using the latest toolkits at run time.
  1. Upgrade to your containers with the latest release.
  2. Export your toolkit as a .zip file.
    1. Go to https://BAStudioHost:BAStudioPort/rest/bpm/wle/pd/v1/solutions/ToolkitName/snapshot/8.6.0.0
      BAStudioHost
      The Business Automation Studio hostname.
      BAStudioPort
      The Business Automation Studio port number.
      ToolkitName
      The UI Toolkit is SYSBPMUI. The System Data toolkit is TYSYS.
    2. Save the exported toolkit locally to be used in the next step.
  3. Import the toolkit .zip file in Application Engine.
    1. Go to https://AppEngineHost:AppEnginePort/v1/import/upgradeToolkit
      AppEngineHost
      The Application Engine hostname.
      AppEnginePort
      The Application Engine port number.
    2. Locate the toolkit that you exported, and import. When the import is complete, a message appears to indicate that the import was successful.
