Solution assets

Solution assets are created in the IBM® Business Automation Workflow development environment when you design the solution. When you export a solution package in the IBM Business Automation Workflow Case administration client, these assets are included in the package.

Solution Document Generator tool

When you migrate your solutions from one environment to another, ensure that you migrate all of the assets that are associated with your solution. You can generate documentation about the IBM Business Automation Workflow solution assets by running a command-line tool, the Creating a solution description document.

In Case Builder, the solution designer can capture requirements directly into this tool. You can then generate a document that presents the organization of the solution and its contents in an easy-to-read format. This solution description document provides a way to communicate and share the configuration details of the solution for review, discussion, and analysis.

IBM Business Automation Workflow assets

The development environment is typically in a dedicated IBM FileNet® P8 domain and includes a design object store in which solutions are stored. Each time that you edit and save the solution in Case Builder, a new version of the assets is created. All of the versions of the assets are saved in the design object store, and each version of the assets has a unique ID. When you deploy a solution, the latest version of the solution assets is deployed with the solution.

When you export a solution by using the Case administration client, the following solution assets are included in the solution package.
