Working on a POC for BAW on-prem but depending on infrastructure set-up it may take a while for them to be ready. My question is,  if the POC is done on Saas, can the BMPN file be imported to the on-prem deployment for the workflow?  Is the BPMN easily transferable?

Hi Edmond,

You can take an 'IBM Business Automation Workflow' export (.twx) from on-prem environment and import it into the SaaS environment or vice-versa. You can do this from the ProcessCenter by going to Process Apps or Toolkits. Navigate to your Process App, choose the correct Track (Main by default) and Create New Snapshot (from the right-hand menu) if one doesn't exist. Once your snapshot is created, you will get three options next to the snapshot name - Export | Install | Open in Designer. Choose Export and in the popup dialog choose 'IBM Business Automation Workflow export (.twx)' option. Please see attached screenshot.

The BPMN 2.0 export (.zip) is useful for importing the "models" to other BPMN compatible tools such as IBM Blueworks Live. These exports do not contain executable code, they contain the model.
