Creating snapshots in the Process Center console

You can create snapshots for process applications or toolkits from the Process Center console.

Before you begin

You must have one of the following permissions to create a snapshot in the Process Center console:
  • You have administrative privileges (for example, you are a member of the administrative group tw_admins)
  • You have write permission for the process application or toolkit

Procedure

To create snapshots, complete the following steps:

  1. Select the Process Apps or Toolkits tab.
  2. Click the process application or toolkit for which you want to create a snapshot. The snapshot view opens showing all the existing snapshots.
  3. Click the Create New Snapshot option that is available on the right.
    Note: If multiple tracks exist, select the track that you want from the menu, and then click Create New Snapshot.
  4. Enter a name for the snapshot and click Save. The description is optional.

Results

The resulting snapshot is displayed in the Process Center console.
Note: An acronym is automatically generated for the snapshot. The acronym is used to differentiate multiple versions of the snapshot. For more information, see "Naming conventions".

What to do next

The snapshot records the current state of the library items within the track. You now can install the snapshot on a process server, compare it to other snapshots, or archive the snapshot.
