Converting a solution to a template
You can convert a solution to a template. You use templates to quickly create new solutions that are based on the same design. The template contains all the solution design information, but you cannot edit a template directly or create running cases from a template.
Before you begin
Be sure to have your completed configuration checklist available.
About this task
Converting a solution to a template applies only in the development environment.
By default, new unique identifiers
are created when a solution is created from the template.
Important: For most solutions, do not change the default behavior.
However, if your solution contains assets that are not managed by Case Builder, such as forms or search
templates whose unique identifiers are referenced by programs other
than IBM® Business Automation
Workflow, you might
want to select Include existing unique identifiers to
preserve the existing identifiers. If you preserve the existing identifiers,
you cannot deploy more than one solution that is based on this template
to the same target object store.
Procedure
To convert a solution to a template:
- Start the Case administration client.
Enter the following URL in a browser:
http://server:port//navigator/?desktop=bawadmin
where server is the IBM Content Navigator IP address or fully qualified server name, and
port is the IBM Content Navigator port number. - In the navigation tree in the left pane, select an object store and click Solutions.
- On the Solutions page in the right pane, select the solution that you want to convert to a template.
- Click and complete the wizard steps.
