Converting single process BPM projects

You can use a BPM project (with a single process) in the current release. In order to do so, Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge allows you to convert these single process projects to a multiple process BPM project.
To do so:
1. Import the BPM project from the previous release to your current workspace. For information regarding importing, see Importing a process file.
2. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the BPM project, then click Progress OpenEdge > Move and Convert to a Multiple Process BPM Project. The Move To Multiple Process Project dialog box appears.
Note: To convert multiple BPM projects from previous versions, you must import and select these project folders in the Project Explorer view, and then perform the above step.
3. You can convert and add the selected projects to a new (or existing) BPM project in the current workspace.
*To use an existing project, select the Existing project option. Type the name of the existing project in the Project name box or click Browse to to open the Select an existing project dialog box, which lists the existing BPM projects in your workspace. Select the project and click OK.
*To use a new project, select the New project option. Type the name of the new BPM project in the Project name box.
4. In the Single process project(s) section, you can specify additional single process projects (if required) to be converted and added to the BPM project specified in the Project name box.
*To add projects, click Add to open the Select a single process project dialog box, which lists the existing single process BPM projects in your workspace. Select the projects to be added and click OK. The added projects are listed in the Single process project(s) section.
*To remove any project from the Single process project(s) section, select the project and click Remove.
5. Before converting the specified single process BPM projects, you can create a backup of the projects in the current (or different) workspace. By default, Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge creates a backup of the projects in the default workspace. To specify a different workspace folder, click Browse and select the folder where you want to create the project backup.
6. Click Finish to start the conversion operation.
On successful completion, the Move and convert: Successful dialog box appears. The converted project is added as a process version and displayed in the specified BPM project folder strucure in the Project Explorer view.
