Import/Export Process

Process Designer (PD) allows the interested process to be exported from one project and imported to other projects in order to replicate or reuse the process. The process can even be imported to a completely different environment as well. Note: But in that scenario please remember to copy any attached artifacts like jar files (for Java nodes), or wsdl files (Web Service nodes) also to the new environment manually as the imported json do not contain these artifacts.

Export To export any process, there is the "Export" button on the Project screen as shown in the below figure.

When you click this button the "Export process" dialog is shown. User can select one or more process to be exported. User can also select option to export with all attached files.

The exported file is then shown to download and save into the user machine. This file contains the entire process, work party and parameters kept in JSON format.

Import To import a process that is exported from another project, there is the "Import" button on the project information screen as shown in the below figure.

When this button is clicked the import process dialog is shown. The user has to select the configuration process file by clicking on "Choose File" button. The system will display all available process in that file. User can choose to import one or more process. There is also option to import as New process or Overwrite existing process. If user chooses the Overwrite option, then user has to select the process to be overwritten as well.

Click on "Import" button, the process will be imported to the project. Once the process is imported successfully, the process is shown in the process menu.
