Exporting other FileNet P8 assets by using the Process Configuration console

Use the Process Configuration console from within IBM® Administration Console for Content Platform Engine to export Process Services assets from the development environment target object store to the test or production environment target object store.

About this task

Export the required Content Platform Engine Process Services assets from the target object store in the project area of the development environment where the solution application was created and tested. Required Process Services assets are assets that are created with the Process Configuration console or Process Designer, not assets that are created in Case Builder.

These assets are not managed by IBM Business Automation Workflow, but the solution might incorporate them or the business processes that are part of your solution application might use them. Examples of these assets might be component queues or workflow system configuration parameters.

Procedure

To export other FileNet P8 assets by using the Process Configuration console:

  1. In IBM Administration Console for Content Platform Engine, select the target object store and click Administrative > Workflow System.
  2. On the Workflow System tab, click Actions > Configure Workflow Settings.
  3. From the Workflow Systems list, select the connection point for the project area where the solution application resides. In the Action menu, click Connect to log on to the workflow system.
  4. In the Action menu, click Export to XML file to start the export wizard.
  5. Complete the steps in the wizard.
    Keep in mind the following export guidelines:
    • Select only assets that were created with tools other than Case Builder. Migrating assets such as work queues or event logs, which are created by the deploy solution operation, can cause conflicts. Such assets can often be recognized by the presence of the solution prefix in their name or when the asset name is the same as the solution name.
    • Select the Include System Properties check box to export workflow system configuration information. Some configuration information is environment-specific. You might need to edit this information by using Process Configuration console on the destination system after the solution application is deployed.
    • If you want to export only system properties, select Export selected components under Export Type. On the Select Export Components page, clear the check boxes for all components.

What to do next

Include the resulting XML file as a part of the solution application files when you prepare to migrate the solution.
