Importing projects from SAP Solution Manager
Rather than updating the SAP projects in SAP Solution Manager or developing SAP business models from scratch, you can import SAP projects from SAP Solution Manager into Process Center.
Before you begin
About this task
The following actions occur during
the import of the SAP project into IBM® BPM:
- Each SAP Solution Manager project, which can contain one or more SAP processes, is imported as a process application.
- When you select to generate a guided workflow, an SAP guided workflow is generated for each imported process application, and each logical component of the SAP project is imported as a SAP server. For more information, see Using guided workflows.
- Each SAP process within the SAP project is imported as a business process definition (BPD).
- Each SAP business scenario is imported as a smart folder.
You can use the following procedure to import both new SAP projects, which are unknown to Process Center, and updates to SAP projects that were previously imported.
To import SAP projects from SAP Solution Manager into Process Center:
Procedure
In Process Center, click Import
Process App and complete the wizard.
- If the password for the connection to SAP Solution Manager is saved
as described in the Connecting to SAP Solution Manager procedure
and the connection is successful, the list of projects that can be
imported from SAP Solution Manager is
displayed.Note: If you select to import an SAP project that was previously imported, select Create a snapshot for the corresponding process app in case you ever want to revert the changes.
- If you want to exclude items from the import, in the process selection page of the Import Process App wizard, click Exclude Items, select the check boxes that correspond to the items that you want to exclude from the import, and then click Import. The selected items will no longer be listed on the process selection page for future imports.
