I need to be integrating IBM process designer with subversion. I need to version control the BPM activities as well as take the binary for the complete build in jenkins.
Can anyone tell me if you have had version controlled IBM process designer with Subversion?
The philosophy of IBM BPM solutions is that they are 100% maintained within the IBM BPM Process Center environment. All artifacts ... literally everything ... is maintained within the Process Center and there is no way to "check it out" or otherwise access it. The model is that there are no "files" of artifacts and hence there is nothing to place under source code control of any other source code management system.
There is also no "build system". When one saves artifacts from within Process Designer, they are immediately accessible from a Process App for unit testing. Only when one wishes to deploy to the production of QA would one export a solution as a ZIP file and install it in a Process Server environment. Even then, if Process Servers have network connectivity to Process Center, the deployment of the solution can be direct without any intermediate exports of files.
The bottom line answer is that IBM's philosophy here is not "classic" edit/save/compile/test but is rather an edit/save/test with everything tracked by Process Center.
