WebSphere Lombardi Edition 7.2 > Release notes
What's new in Teamworks 7.0.1
This release of Teamworks 7 introduces the following new features and major enhancements. For information about existing features that have changed with this release, see What's changed in Teamworks 7.0.1.
Blueprint process subscriptions
You can now subscribe to Blueprint processes from the Designer in Teamworks Authoring Environment. Subscriptions enable you to collaborate with members of your team who are discovering and developing processes in Blueprint. And, when a process reaches the stage where your team is ready to implement the steps in that process, a subscription in Teamworks Authoring Environment enables you to develop all necessary interfaces, integrations, and services, and then begin running the process for testing and eventually production purposes. This combination of Blueprint and Teamworks enables both business and IT professionals to work together from the outset to plan, design, and then implement the processes that they need to streamline their business initiatives.
For more information, see Manage the Process Center repository > Subscribing to Blueprint processes in Teamworks Authoring Environment Help.
Process app installation to offline servers
Start with Teamworks 7.0.1, you can install process applications on Teamworks Process Servers that are not connected to the Process Center. For example, you may have a Process Server that is isolated because it resides behind a firewall. For cases like this, you can create an offline Process Server in the Process Center Console. Then, when you are ready to install a snapshot of a process app on that offline server, you can create an installation package. You can transfer the installation package to the server, and then use a new command-line utility to install the package. Offline installation includes several capabilities that are available when performing an installation to an online server. For example, when you install the package, any toolkits that the process application depends upon (that are not already installed on the Process Server) are also installed, ensuring all library items required to run the application are available on the server. The installation package also enables you to specify how to handle running instances of the process app. If a previous snapshot (version) of the process app is running on the server, you can choose whether to leave the running instances as is or migrate those instances to the new snapshot version.
For more information, see Manage the Process Center repository > Manage Teamworks servers > Add offline servers to the Process Center Console and Releasing and installing processes > Install process applications: offline Process Servers in Teamworks Authoring Environment Help.
Process monitoring
Teamworks Process Admin Console includes a new Process Monitor that enables a Teamworks administrator to identify and stop problematic processes and services. For example, you may need to stop a process that causes an exception or a service that is stuck in a repeating loop. The Process Monitor also enables you to analyze performance by showing which processes and services are most expensive in terms of the time, instances, and the steps needed to execute them.
For more information, see Manage Teamworks Process Servers > Monitoring processes and services in the Teamworks Administration Guide.
Proxy server configuration
Start with Teamworks 7.0.1, if you use a proxy server for internet connections, you can configure Teamworks so that it uses the appropriate server and protocol when connecting to Blueprint. The 99Local.xml configuration file contains a new connection section for Teamworks proxy settings. To learn how to configure these settings for your environment, see Manage Teamworks configuration settings > Configure proxy settings in the Teamworks Administration Guide.
Variable auto-mapping added to Java and Web Service Integration components in Integration services
When you use a new Web Service Integration or Java™ Integration component in an Integration service, you can auto-map the variables for these components in the Data Mapping tab in the component properties. This functionality was not available in Teamworks 7.0.0. For more information, see Advanced modeling tasks > Integrate with other systems in Teamworks Authoring Environment Help.
