About Checking in Business Process Models

You can check in a business process model from within the Graphical Process Modeler interface or through Sterling B2B Integrator interface.

Both Sterling B2B Integrator interface and the GPM provide a Source Manager feature you use to check in a business process. The two Source Managers differ slightly, but both enable you check in new business process definitions and new versions of previously checked-in process models. Both display the current list of business process models and versions.

Each time you check in a business process, you create a version of the business process, either the first version of a new process model, or a new version of a previously checked-in business process model. The Sterling B2B Integrator saves each checked in version so that you retain a copy of every iteration of a process model that you check in. You cannot check in a version of a business process that is checked out and locked (protected) by another user.

The check-in procedure differs depending on your goal and the application you are using. The following list describes the options and provides a link to appropriate instructions:
