Checking In a New Version of an Existing Business Process Version in Sterling B2B Integrator

Use this procedure to check in a new version of business process model that has been previously saved in Sterling B2B Integrator (meaning, it already has a business process definition) and that has now been modified.

About this task

During check in you will indicate which saved version will be the default version.

Note: You cannot check in a new version of a business process model if you do not own the lock on the pre-existing model; that is, if you are not the user who checked the process model out prior to this attempt to check in the new version.
