Managing project areas

Manage project areas and users so that users who are working on different projects in the same environment can do so without interruption.

About this task

If you have many solution projects in different phases of development, you can define a project area for each solution so that when a solution is ready to test, you can do so without affecting the other solutions that share the same design object store. You can use the IBM® Business Automation Workflow administration client to define project areas, remove project areas, move solutions to different project areas, and add or remove users from project areas.

Restriction: Each project area requires a unique connection point, and only one connection point can be associated with an object store.

Procedure

To manage your project areas:

  1. Start the Case administration client .
    Enter the following URL in a browser:
    http://server:port/navigator/?desktop=bawadmin
    server is the IBM Content Navigator IP address or fully qualified server name.
    port is the IBM Content Navigator port number.
  2. In the navigation tree in the left pane, select a design object store and click Project Areas.
  3. On the Project Areas page in the right pane, select a project area and click Actions to edit, register, or delete the project area.
    Restriction:
    • You cannot delete the default project area; you can delete regular project areas only.
    • For the default project area, you can add and remove users and groups. For regular project areas, you can add and remove individual users only.
    • You can add a user to one regular project area only, in addition to the default project area.
    • If you add a solution to a project area and that solution does not match the integration type of the project area, the solution is filtered out.
    • If you remove a solution from a project area other than the default project area, that solution is assigned automatically to the default project area. However, if the default project area is of a different integration type than the solution, then the system prevents you from removing that solution from the non-default project area.
