Importing toolkits from the Process Center console

You can import toolkits from other IBM® Business Process Manager libraries using the Process Center console.

Before you begin

Before you import or export process applications, ensure the following:

When importing a toolkit, the users and security groups, which are referenced by the teams in a process application, must exist in the user repository.
To import a toolkit, you must have repository access. See the topic Managing access to the Process Center repository.

Procedure

Follow these steps to import toolkits from an IBM BPM export (.twx) file:

Select the Toolkits tab.
Click the Import Toolkit option.
In the Import Toolkit window, click the Browse button to locate the IBM BPM export (.twx) file that you want to import.
Note: Toolkits that you import should have unique acronyms. If an acronym is not unique, the import completes with a warning; however, attempts to install snapshots that include references to a toolkit with a non-unique acronym will fail with an error.
Click the Next button to import the selected .twx file. In the Import Toolkit window, click to expand the sections that show the snapshots that will be imported and the snapshots that are already available (and will not be imported).
Click the Import button. When the import is complete, the imported toolkit is included in the list in the Toolkits tab.

What to do next

Imported toolkits are immutable, which means that no one can change the items within an imported toolkit. Administrators can change the immutable quality of a toolkit by enabling the Allow users to update toolkit option in the Manage tab for the imported toolkit.

The user who imports a toolkit has administrative access to that toolkit. Administrators can grant access to other users and groups as described in Managing access to process applications and toolkits.
