Export process application snapshots to SAP Solution Manager
Symptoms
When a process application snapshot is exported from IBM Process Designer to SAP Solution Manager, changes to some SAP elements are not exported.
Causes
Changes are made to the SAP blueprint project according to the changes in the record. SAP elements that are not in the change record are not changed.
The changes that are made can be classified into the following types:
- Changes to add an object
- Changes to delete an existing object
- Changes to the attribute of an existing object
Resolving the problem
When unexpected data loss or errors occur in the SAP project model in the process application, validation errors are displayed in the Validation Errors view. Click Recover in the SAP Solution Manager view to fix these errors. Snapshots that contain validation errors cannot be exported to SAP Solution Manager.
When a conflict occurs, changes made in IBM BPM take precedence, as presented in the following table.

Change attribute AttrBPM of element A (value1 --> value2)Change attribute AttrSAP of element A (value1' --> value2')If the same attribute is changed
- Then element A has AttrSAP = value2.
- Otherwise, element A has AttrBPM = value2 and AttrSAP=value2'
