Open Process App Dialog Box

This dialog box opens when you select Open from the Composer menu or press Ctrl+O from anywhere in SBM Composer. Use it to select the latest version of a process app that was checked in to the repository or a process app that you saved to your computer (the Local Cache).

Note: When you open SBM Composer for the first time, the list of recently opened process apps is empty. Any new process apps are added to the list after you close them.
Element Description
Look in Choose whether to select a process app stored on your computer (Local Cache) or a process app that was checked in to the repository.

If a process app in the repository is listed twice, it means someone loaded the process app directly into the repository (from an exported blueprint file or from the SBM Application Engine) since the last time the process app was checked in or published from SBM Composer. The process app with the red icon is the one that was loaded directly into the repository. The process app with the yellow and blue icon is the one that was checked in or published from SBM Composer.

A process app with a green icon is a template. For more information about templates, see About Templates.

Use the icon, the time stamp, or the description that is displayed below the list to determine which one you want to open.

CAUTION:
If you select a process app from the repository that was opened on your computer (that is, a process app that already exists in the Local Cache), SBM Composer warns you that the local process app will be overwritten. You can open the local process app or overwrite it with the process app in the repository, losing any changes you made since the process app was checked in.
Open labeled version Opens the Open Labeled Version dialog box, in which you can open an earlier labeled version of the selected process app. You have the option to create a patch context in which to make any changes, if one does not already exist. For more information, see Open Labeled Version Dialog Box and Working in a Patch Context.
Note: The timestamp in the Updated on column reflects the last time the process app as a whole was checked in.
