Exporting Business Processes to Solution Manager

PowerDesigner provides a wizard to allow you to export changes made to your projects, scenarios, and processes for testing and implementation in Solution Manager v7.1.

Note: Changes to logical components, organization units, master data, and general and project documentation (or new instances of these objects created in PowerDesigner) cannot be exported to Solution Manager. If you delete business scenarios or processes in your model, these deletions will not be propagated to Solution Manager during the export, and must be performed directly on the server.
  1. Select Language > Apply Model Changes to Solution Manager to open the wizard, and click Next on the Welcome page.
    The wizard checks your model for consistency and displays any errors which may compromise the generation.
  2. Enter your Solution Manager host name and port number, along with your user name and password, and 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.
  3. Select the business scenarios, scenario flow diagrams, and processes you want to export, and click Next.

  4. Review the objects that will be exported and then click Finish to generate them to Solution Manager.
    Note: If PowerDesigner detects conflicts between changes made in the model and changes to the same objects on the server, then a merge dialog (see Core Features Guide > Modeling with PowerDesigner > Comparing and Merging Models) will open to allow you to select, for each conflict, which of the conflicting changes will prevail. The resolutions that you select will first be applied to the model, and then your changes will be exported to the server.
