Updating or replacing managed files

You can update or replace external files that you are using in Process Designer.

Before you begin

To update or replace a design file, you must be in the Process Designer desktop editor.

IBM BPM version 8570 cumulative fix 2016.09 Although the following instructions describe how to update or replace managed files in Process Designer, you can also update or replace files using the BPMUpdateFile command, as described in the topic BPMUpdateFile command.

Procedure

To update managed files:

Make your changes to the file as needed, and then save the file.
Click Files in the library in the Designer view and select the file that you want to update or replace.
Click Browse and find the updated file. Then, click Open and Save. For original managed files that have the same name as the updated files, the Designer replaces all existing files with the updated versions. All current implementations of the files throughout your project are also automatically updated.
Tip: If you open the Process Designer desktop editor, you can update the file by dragging the updated file from your file system to the Files category in Designer.

Results

The selected file is now the managed file in your IBM® Business Process Manager project.

Note: If you are in the Process Designer web editor and you replace an existing managed file with a new version using the New button in another editor, for example specifying a .css file in the coach view editor, it is recommended that you clear your browser cache of any temporary internet files afterward to guarantee that the updated version of your file is selected and an older version is not cached.
