Creating and distributing solution templates

In addition to creating case solutions for deployment in the same domain that hosts your Case Builder instance, you can create solution templates that can be distributed to a separate domain or at another site. After you design and create a case 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 Business Automation Workflow development domain or source environment, and then distribute it to be used at a different 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 Case 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 Business Automation Workflow and FileNet P8. Manual changes are required to migrate and deploy these types of assets.
