Converting Legacy Deployments to Contributions

Converting Legacy Deployments to Contributions

Process Developer Version 8.0 introduces contributions. A
contribution
is a deployed business process archive (BPR), managed as a unit of files. Rather than deploy and replace individual BPEL processes and resources, you deploy both current and updated as a unit that is easily managed on the server. For details, see
Managing Deployment Contributions
.
If you are upgrading to a new version of Process Developer, note that all BPR deployments prior to Version 8 are preserved as legacy contributions. On the Contributions page of the Process Console, you will see one or more entries named
legacy:/bpr.deployment
The newest deployment has the status of
online
. Previous deployments have the status of
offline pending
.
We highly recommend that you delete old BPRs and redeploy your processes and resources to take advantage of contribution features.
Here are some recommendations for converting your old deployments:
  • Delete old BPRs and BPRDs from a project. You will create just one new BPR/BPRD per project. The BPR treats all deployable project files as a unit that is easily managed on the server.
  • (Recommended). In your project, create a folder to hold all non-deployment files, such documentation files and unused resources. This is recommended, but is not required. You can add this folder to a list of excluded folders for deployment. See
    Contribution Preference
    for details.
  • (Recommended). If your project is using WSDLs from another workspace project, you can specify that project as a project reference to manage those WSDLs in a separate contribution. For advantages to this approach, see
    Using Project References
    .
  • Create and export a new project-based business process archive. Notice that the new Export Wizard automatically includes all deployable resources in your project and excludes test and sample data files.
  • Be sure to deploy all deployable files each time you redeploy, even if you have only updated one or two files. Deploying an updated individual resource creates an undesirable version of a contribution.
Note that as you redeploy your BPEL processes and associated resources, they are removed from the
legacy:bpr.deployment
and added as contributions.
