The instances created in the last N days drawn as a Gantt-style timeline grouped by application: a bar from creation to the last change (running instances: to now), a black tick at the due date, blue active, red overdue, amber at risk (due within atRiskHours), grey finished; the same instances as a list with CSV.
Target: IBM BPM 8.6.2, IBM BAW 20-26 (traditional) and CP4BA (Workflow Authoring / Studio import). Built from out-of-the-box building blocks only (System Data, UI Toolkit, one client-side human service, server-side service flows calling the product REST API as a technical user) - no third-party toolkit, no custom Java.
- Import
packages/Instance-Timeline-1.0.twx(Process Center / Workflow Center console: Import Process App; CP4BA: Business Automation Studio > Import). - Set the environment variables of the snapshot (below): the server base URL as seen from the server itself and the technical user the flows call the REST API with. The package ships no password.
- Expose the dashboard to a team (the package's default team holds
celladmin; change it) and open it from Process Portal or the playback URL of the human service.

serverBaseURL, restAuthUser, restAuthPassword, restTrustAllCertificates (kit-rest.js: the technical user every server-side flow calls the REST API with), appTitle, atRiskHours (default 24).
- docs/DESIGN.md - what the app does, every service flow with its REST calls, business objects, build and test procedure, pitfalls met on the way.
- docs/RECIPES-AND-PITFALLS.md - the recipe collection of all the kit apps: shared helpers, verified search / team / instance / operations REST facts, build and deployment pitfalls.
The application is generated by a small Python program on the twxkit generator (standard library only, no base export). The generator
and the kit are served to AI agents and developers by the BAW Knowledge MCP server (https://bawmcp.dosvak.com/mcp, see
dosvak/baw-mcp): get_package('instance timeline (itline)') returns this package, get_tool('build_itline.py')
the generator - ask the MCP for the kit apps and it hands out the generator by name.
