Exporting process application snapshots to SAP Solution Manager (deprecated)

Symptoms

When a process application snapshot is exported from IBM® Process Designer to SAP Solution Manager, changes to some SAP elements are not exported.

Causes

Changes are made to the SAP blueprint project according to the changes in the record. SAP elements that are not in the change record are not changed.

The changes that are made can be classified into the following types:

Changes to add an object
Changes to delete an existing object
Changes to the attribute of an existing object

Resolving the problem

When unexpected data loss or errors occur in the SAP project model in the process application, validation errors are displayed in the Validation Errors view. Click Recover in the SAP Solution Manager view to fix these errors. Snapshots that contain validation errors cannot be exported to SAP Solution Manager.

When a conflict occurs, changes made in IBM BPM take precedence, as presented in the following table.

Table 1. Changes in IBM BPM and SAP Solution Manager during snapshot export operations
Change in IBM BPM	Change in SAP Solution Manager	Export results
Delete element A	Change attribute of element A	Element A is deleted.
Change attribute `AttrBPM` of element A `(value1 --> value2)`	Change attribute AttrSAP of element A `(value1' --> value2')`	If the same attribute is changed Then element A has `AttrSAP = value2`. Otherwise, element A has `AttrBPM = value2 and AttrSAP=value2'`
Change element A	Delete element A	Element A is created.
