Managing custom process apps

Make sure you have the correct permissions to manage your process apps. For more information, see Types of users and permissions in custom process apps.

Modifying custom process apps

To edit your custom process apps, click Start from a process application on the Home page.

You can modify your process apps in the following ways:

  • Open the more options menu and click Edit Process App. Follow the steps described in Creating custom process apps to complete your edits.

  • Open the more options menu and click Duplicate to copy your process app. When you duplicate a process app, the name of the new process app gets the suffix, Copy- <timestamp-id> , along with the existing process app name.
  • Open the more options menu and click Delete to permanently remove a process app.

Exporting and importing custom process apps

Note: You can only import and export process apps between environments with the same version. For example, if you want to export a custom process app that was created in IBM Process Mining 1.14.0 and import it to IBM Process Mining 1.14.1, you must first upgrade the 1.14.0 environment to 1.14.1.

You can export a process app to save, reuse, and share the process app configuration. You can use the exported process app to import it into another IBM Process Mining environment.

To export a custom process app, do the following steps:

  1. On the Home page, click the Start from a process application tile.

  2. Open the more options menu of the process app you want to export and click Export.

    • If the process app is Open source, the process app is downloaded automatically in the .pma format.

    • If you are the creator of a Closed source process app, you see the Export process app as editable or uneditable dialog. Switch the toggle to Editable or Uneditable per your requirement, and click Export to download the process app.

      • If you switch the toggle to Editable, the importer gets the Use, Edit, Export, and Delete permissions.
      • If you switch the toggle to Uneditable, the importer gets the Use, Edit name, Export, and Delete permissions. In this case, the importer cannot change the Python script of this process app. For more information about permissions in process apps, see the Types of users and permissions in custom process apps topic.

To import a custom process app, do the following steps:

  1. On the Home page, click the Start from a process application tile.
  2. Click the Import process app button.
  3. In the Import Process App from file dialog, drag or upload the file.

You can import the process app file only in the .pma format.

When you import a process app, the name of the new process app gets the suffix Copy- <timestamp-id> , along with the original process app name.
