You can import elements from the IBM® WebSphere Business Modeler into IBM Business Process Manager, using the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) Version 2.0 file format.
The process elements in boldface type are the ones that you can select in the project tree. The elements that are not in boldface type are subordinate elements contained within the parent element.

---|---|---|
Global Human Task | Human Service | |
Global Business Rules Task | Decision Service | |
Service | Integration Service or Advanced Integration Service | Element selection depends on your choice in the procedure described in Moving business processes from WebSphere Business Modeler to Process Designer or Importing and exporting BPMN models. |
Business Service (WSDL-based) | Integration Service containing a Web Service Integration or Advanced Integration Service | The Web Service Integration is only added when
the WSDL has a binding (it is an implemented service). Element selection depends on your choice in the procedure described in Moving business processes from WebSphere Business Modeler to Process Designer or Importing and exporting BPMN models. |
