Scenario 6 - Business Process Version Management

Sterling B2B Integrator uses version management for implementing business process. As you make changes to an existing business process and create variations of that business process, you need to be sure that the business process that runs is the appropriate version.

The first time you check in a business process, the data you enter creates a business process definition—a uniquely named copy of the process that is stored in Sterling B2B Integrator. The business process stored in Sterling B2B Integrator is independent of any .bp file of the process that you save in a local directory.

At any time, you can open an existing business process, modify and save it, and then either check in the new version to Sterling B2B Integrator, or save the modified copy of the process in Sterling B2B Integrator as a new process altogether. All previously checked-in versions of business processes continue to be stored in Sterling B2B Integrator. This enables you to revert to using an older version should the need arise.
