Creating and distributing IBM Business Automation Workflow solution templates
In addition to creating solutions for deployment in the same domain that is hosting your Case Builder instance, you can create solution templates that can be distributed to a separate IBM Business Automation Workflow domain or at another site. After you design and create a case management solution, you can create a template from that solution to use as a base for other solutions.
About this task
At a minimum, a solution template must contain a solution definition file, which you create using Case Builder. You create the template in the IBM Business Automation Workflow development domain, or source environment, and then distribute it to be used at a different IBM Business Automation Workflow development domain, or target environment. You do not modify a solution template directly, you modify the solution that you create from a solution template. You use the IBM Business Automation Workflow administration client to move the case management solution template between environments.
You can also distribute other types of assets:
- Other FileNet® P8 assets, which are associated with the solution but managed by other FileNet P8 tools. These assets must be migrated and deployed through FileNet Deployment Manager and Process Configuration Console.
- Other IBM and external assets, which are developed outside of IBM Business Automation Workflow and FileNet P8. Manual changes are required to migrate and deploy these types of assets.
