Chapter 9 Exporting and Importing Orchestration Processes : Overview of Exporting and Importing

Overview of Exporting and Importing
WS-BPEL is a standard, XML-based format for representing business processes. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks BPEL Extension can export orchestration processes and associated resources into files. The exported WS-BPEL process files comply with the WS-BPEL 2.0 schema. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks BPEL Extension can also import previously exported files into a project. Export and import are operations for the entire project. You cannot select specific resources to export.
While the exported WS-BPEL process files comply with the WS-BPEL 2.0 schema, TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks BPEL Extension has implemented extensions to the WS-BPEL specification. Following are the details of the extensions:
WS-BPEL does not define any standard way to graphically display orchestration processes. Therefore, the coordinates of a resource in the design panel are stored in an extension element in the WS-BPEL process file.
WS-BPEL does not define any standard way to propagate context information (SOAP headers or any other business context) in the implementation process. You can propagate the context information for implementing WS-BPEL processes. For more information, refer to, Exporting Orchestration Processes.
There is no guarantee that extensions in WS-BPEL files from other vendors will work properly when imported into TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks BPEL Extension. Also, WS-BPEL files exported from TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks BPEL Extension comply with the WS-BPEL 2.0 schema, but there is no guarantee that extensions in these files can be interpreted properly by products from other vendors.
