Importing BPMN 2.0 artifacts into an existing process application

If you do not want to create a process application that is based on a BPMN model, import the BPMN files into an existing process application.

About this task

You can import BPMN 2.0 files that you exported from Blueworks Live™ or from another product. Note that if you import the same BPMN artifacts multiple times, those actions result in multiple copies of the generated BPM artifacts. Each import is self-contained and does not overwrite the results of prior imports.

Procedure

Start IBM® Process Designer.
Open a process application.
Package the BPMN 2.0 file that you want to import in a .zip file.
Click File > Import. The Import BPMN 2.0 File window opens.
Click Browse and select the BPMN 2.0 file that you want to import, and then click OK.

Results

The Import Results window opens showing generated error, warning, and information messages. All the artifacts are imported into the existing process application.

In the library, all artifacts that are imported from the BPMN 2.0 file are marked with an Imported tag.
