Importing and Exporting Processes

Wise Package Studio Reference
Security Setup determines whether you have access to Process Templates Setup.
You can duplicate processes from an external database, which places a copy in your
local Workbench database, along with any user-defined Workbench tools or
command-line options used in the process that are not already in your database.
Processes that are copied from an external database are placed in the Local
Processes tree in Process Templates Setup. Subsequent changes made to the
corporate process template will not affect your local copy.
You cannot edit or delete an external process template.
To duplicate a process
1. Select Edit menu > Process Templates.
The Process Templates Setup dialog box appears.
2. Right-click a process in the process list and select Duplicate.
A copy of the process appears at the end of the process list.
3. Select the copy to modify it.
4. Save the new process by clicking Close or by clicking another process in Process
Templates Setup.
To delete a process
1. Select Edit menu > Process Templates.
The Process Templates Setup dialog box appears.
2. Right-click a process in the process list and select Delete.
Deleting a process template does not affect any existing projects, because each project
contains its own a copy of the process. Deleting a process cannot be undone.
In Process Templates Setup, you can export a process template to a file (.WPR) and you
can import a process template from a file. Example: You might create a process
template in one Workbench database, export it, and then import it into another
Workbench database. This lets you maintain a standard set of process templates across
multiple distributed teams.
Note
With Enterprise Management Server, you can duplicate processes from an external
database, which lets you more easily share standard process templates across
databases.
See External Process Templates
To export a process
1. Select Edit menu > Process Templates.
The Process Templates Setup dialog box appears.
2. Right-click a process in the process list and select Export to File.
3. In the Save As dialog box that appears, specify a file name with the extension .WPR
and click Save.
