You can add external assets such as JAR or JS files for use in an IBM Business Process
Manager implementation. You can also add files for use with IBM® Process
Designer coaches or to override the transform XSL
for one or more heritage coaches.
Before you begin
To add a design file, you must be in the
Process Designer desktop editor
(deprecated).
Procedure
To add external files to your process application or toolkit:
- Open a process application in Process Designer.
- Click the plus sign next to Files and select Web
File, Server File, or Design File.
Note: To select a design file, you must use the Process Designer desktop editor (deprecated).
- Select Web File if you want to add images, .css
files, or other assets to use in your Process Designer coaches.
- Select Server File if you want to add JAR or JS files or some other
type of asset to use in an IBM Business
Process Manager
implementation.
- Select Design File if you want to add .xsl files
(content type text/xml or application/xslt+xml) to override the
transform XSL for one or more heritage coaches.
- In the New File window, click Browse to search for
the file that you want.
- Select the file, and then click Finish.
Tip: In the desktop Process Designer, you
can also drag files or folders from your file system directly to the Files category. When you add
folders, all the files within the folder are added as individual assets. All files retain their
original names. You can also drag an image file from your file system and place it directly on a
coach that you are creating to add the file as a managed file.
Results
The external file is now displayed in the Files category of the library. The name of the
file is the same as the original. If you delete a file that is used as the implementation for a
service or other component, the implementation is broken. To ensure that you do not delete necessary
files, open the file and check the
Where Used tab before you delete the file.
