Exporting the model for further development

In this lesson, you will export the business process model from IBM® WebSphere® Business Modeler in a format that you will import into WebSphere Integration Developer.

You have completed modeling the Clips and Tacks business process. Now you will export this model from IBM WebSphere Business Modeler and import it into WebSphere Integration Developer for further development. You will also use it in the WebSphere Business Monitor development toolkit.

Complete the following steps:

  1. Select the Errors tab and ensure there are no errors in the model. If there are errors, then correct them. You have four warnings in your model at this point, but they will be resolved during integration development. If other warnings are displayed, they are acceptable.
