Importing Business Processes from Solution Manager

PowerDesigner provides a wizard to allow you to import your projects, scenarios, and processes from Solution Manager v7.1 for editing in a BPM.

Note: In order to import business processes into PowerDesigner, you must have correctly installed and configured the Business Process Blueprinting tool on your Solution Manager server. For detailed information, see the Business Process Blueprinting Installation and Configuration Guide or Upgrade Guide, available from the SAP Support Portal Installation Guides Solution Manager section.

Select Language > Update Model from Solution Manager to open the wizard, and click Next on the Welcome page.
Enter your Solution Manager host name and port number, along with your user name and password, and then click Next. PowerDesigner automatically creates a default connection in the Connection name list, and you can manage this and other Solution Manager connections with the tools to the right of the list.

Note: If PowerDesigner is unable to obtain the default context (package ID) for the Solution Manager server, the Context (package ID) field will be displayed. If you do not know the ID, click the field name to go to the Business Process Blueprinting page on your server, and then click the configuration file download link for the selected Solution Manager Related Package, open the text file, and copy the ID from it.
Select the project that contains the processes you want to import, and then click Next.
Select the business scenarios and processes that you want to import from the list, and then click Next.

By default, all scenarios and processes are selected, and the options to import organization units, documents, and master data are also selected. The Archive model path field provides the location where the archive model (which preserves the current state of the project and is used during generation to help resolved conflicts in the case of concurrent changes by other users) will be saved.
Review the objects that will be imported and then click Finish to import them to your model. For large projects containing many scenarios and processes, the import may take some considerable time.
