Editing process application settings

Each process application and toolkit created in the Process Center repository includes settings that you can change while working in the Designer, such as global settings, environment variables and server configurations for your process application.

To edit process application settings:

1. Open the process application in the Designer view. The Process App Settings editor opens. The settings editor is always available from the drop down list in the toolbar, and cannot be closed.
2. To edit the general settings, click the Overview tab:

   Setting	Description
   Name	Type a new name or alter the existing name.
   Acronym	Type a new acronym or alter the existing one. The acronym for a process application must be unique and is limited to seven characters. IBM® Business Process Manager uses the acronym to identify this process application and the library items that it contains and so it must be a valid JavaScript identifier. When you change the acronym, any existing scripts or other implementations in the process application that rely on the current acronym will be broken unless you update them with the new acronym. For this reason, IBM Process Designer displays a warning, requesting confirmation to continue with the change.
   Description	Type a new description or alter the existing one.
   Exposed Items	Note: The Overview page provides a shortcut list of exposed items to allow for quick navigation to important artifacts in your process application. Web services in a process application are always exposed. You must explicitly expose BPDs and Human services by choosing the exposure settings from the Overview page of the item. For more information, see Exposing BPDs or Exposing a Human service.
   Portal Admin Team	By default, members of the tw_admins security group can perform the following administrative actions on process instances in the process application. Abort Process Instance Suspend Process Instance Resume Process Instance Change instance Due date Move token Delete Token You can configure a Portal Admin Team that can contain users or groups that have permission to administer tasks for a specific process application. See Configuring Web Inspector to work with Portal Admin Teams. Click Select to add or remove users and teams from the Portal Admin Team. Or, click New to create a new team that represents the groups of users in your enterprise that can perform the Portal Admin Team actions. You can add users or teams as members, or define an expression to determine membership.
   Coach XSL	The Coach transform XSL that you specify in this field is used for all Coaches in the process application except individual Coaches with a transform XSL override set to something other than <Use Default>. By default, this field is set to the CoachDesigner.xsl file that resides in the System Data toolkit. Click New to browse for and add a new Coach XSL to the process application as a managed design file. Or click Select to choose a managed design file that has already been added to the process application. The Coach transform XSL is available as part of the Heritage Coach designer settings.
   Coach CSS	The Coach CSS that you specify in this field is used for all Coaches in the process application except individual Coaches with a CSS override set to something other than <Use Default>. By default, this field is set to the coach_designer.css file that resides in the System Data toolkit. Click New to browse for and add a new Coach CSS to the process application as a managed web file. Or click Select to choose a managed web file that has already been added to the process application. The Coach CSS is available as part of the Heritage Coach designer settings
   Advanced XML Settings	The Namespace field in the Advanced XML Settings pane identifies the namespace of the process application. If you do not enter a specific namespace identifer, the editor automatically populates the Namespace field with a shortened version of the process application name. The Namespace field should only be changed by an advanced user as the namespace is used by other process applications to reference this process application. In addition, external web services use its serialized representation to interact with this process application. A change to the namespace means these applications referencing this process application also need to be updated. The Optimize settings for IBM Integration Designer check box indicates that this project is being used or is intended to be eventually used in collaboration with IBM Integration Designer.
