Process applications, toolkits and their snapshots of an IBM Business Automation Workflow server administered through the Operations
REST API - the wsadmin-free console for traditional BAW and CP4BA. A process application built from out-of-the-box building blocks only
(UI Toolkit, client-side human service, business objects, Ajax service flows on /ops; no scripts in the views, no third-party toolkit),
on the REST machinery of Process Tools REST.
| Tab | Content | Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Containers | process apps and toolkits (kind and text filter), orphaned toolkit snapshots | Lookup, Snapshots of container, Archive, Restore, Delete (confirmation), Orphaned toolkit snapshots, Export CSV |
| Snapshots | snapshots of a container (named snapshots of every track and the track tips): active, default, status, archived, capability, created, creator | Activate, Deactivate, Deactivate + suspend instances, Make default, Archive, Restore, Stop, Details (snapshot, environment variables, EPVs, team bindings), Variables, Delete snapshots, unnamed snapshot cleanup (kept number, created before, archived; Workflow Center), Export CSV |
| Environment variables | variables of a snapshot with their current values, EPV variables | Lookup, row selection -> editor, Set value, Export CSV |
| Cleanup | instance count and deletion by state / snapshot / end date (force, transaction slice); closed-task cleanup (BAW 24 / CP4BA); resume of suspended instances | Count instances, Delete instances, Delete closed tasks, Resume suspended instances (all with confirmation where destructive) |
| Queue | URL, status and result of the last accepted request (GET /ops/system/queue/{id}, or the result resource an accepted request points to) |
Refresh status |
Every call is a documented /ops/std/bpm/... operation; the server's own answers (for example CWTBG0688E: only on a workflow
server for Make default on a Process Center, or nothing to delete from an unnamed snapshot cleanup) are shown as they arrive.

packages/Container-Version-Manager-1.0.1.twx |
traditional BAW / IBM BPM 8.6.x and later, CP4BA | process app Container Version Manager (CVMGR) 1.0.1 |
Dependencies: System Data and UI Toolkit only. The same file is attached to the releases.
- Import the package (Process Center console > Import Process App; CP4BA: Business Automation Studio > Business automations > Import).
- Environment variables:
serverBaseURL(the server as seen from itself),restAuthUser/restAuthPassword(technical user with administrator rights for the server-side REST calls; the password ships empty - set it after the import),restTrustAllCertificates,opsHost/opsContextPath,bpmHost/bpmContextPath(CSRF login),csrfLoginPath,appTitle,logoURL. On CP4BA use the/bascontext paths (/bas/ops,/bas/bpm,/bas/bpm/system/login). - Expose the dashboard Container Version Manager to the administrators only - it deletes containers, snapshots and instances.
docs/DESIGN.md - function, every operation with its REST call, the API notes found on the way (tip snapshots, local timestamps, Process Center refusals, closed-task cleanup only from BAW 24). docs/TEST-LAB-8.6.2.md - the automated playback test on BAW 8.6.2 / 20.0.0.1 (containers, filters, orphaned toolkits, restore / archive, snapshots, details, deactivate / activate, make default, unnamed cleanup with queue, variables list / set / restore, instance count / deletion / result, closed tasks, resume, CSV); screenshots in docs/screenshots.
