Uploading a process file

Uploading a process means sending it the server to make it available for execution. You would perform this step after you have created and tested a process.

This topic describes how to upload a process.

  1. From the Designer toolbar select Tools / Manage Processes.

    The Manage Processes dialog box appears.

  2. From the Upload Processes portion of the dialog box, click Browse. Navigate to the location where you have stored the process file or files that you want to upload.

    Designer files have the file extension ".lpd"

  3. Complete other fields on the Upload Processes dialog box as needed.

    This is an opportunity to turn off or change process execution logging if you want to do so. (Process execution log files can become large very quickly. If you are not troubleshooting and do not need logging data, it can be a good idea to turn off logging on production systems.)

    Optionally, you can select Yes or No on the Staging drop-down list. The default option is No. If you select Yes, the flow is uploaded as staged and is not used as the current version until the next upgrade happens. The newly uploaded flow appears in the Flow Version section on the User Define Process Flow page but with a yellow alert and the This staged version will become current after the upgrade message.

    If another user attempts to make the staged version as current, an error is displayed. The staged version cannot be made into current manually by any user. Only the IPA can automatically mark the most recent staged version as current after the upgrade.

    Multiple staged versions can be uploaded but only the most recent staged version becomes current after the upgrade. Staged versions can also be deleted once uploaded.

  4. Click Upload.
