Chapter 3 Importing and Exporting Projects : Importing Nimbus Process Diagrams

Importing Nimbus Process Diagrams
Nimbus Process Diagrams can be imported into into an existing TIBCO Business Studio project.
To import Nimbus Process Diagrams into TIBCO Business Studio:
1.
Alternatively, from the File menu, select Import, and from the Select page of the Import dialog expand the Business Process Management folder, select Nimbus Process Diagram(s) and click Next. This method will involve additional pages to those in the process below, which are explained in the wizard.
2.
On the Import Nimbus Process Diagram(s) page, in the From Directory: field, enter the directory where you saved your Nimbus Process Diagrams, or use the Browse button to find it.
3.
4.
In the Into folder: field, enter the directory in which you want to place the Nimbus Process Diagrams.
5.
The Validate Import Files screen shows the validation status of Nimbus Process Diagram files. If the files are valid (in the expected simplified XML export format and containing only Nimbus simple diagrams) click Finish. If the files are not valid, you will not be able to finish and need to go back and re-export the files from Nimbus Control as simplified XML.
