is the following what you are saying

Current situation is, I have

ProcessA with BDM01

then I

Import ProcessB with BDM02

What you end up with is

ProcessA with No BDM01 and
ProcessB with BDM02

and there is only one BDM in the repository or,

Current situation is, I have

ProcessA with BDM01

then I

Import ProcessB with BDM01

What you end up with is

ProcessA with NEW BDM01 and
ProcessB with BDM01

That is there is only one BDM in the repository which is the NEW BDM

If the first - that can only be a bug and I would report it, if the second then your BDMs should be called different things.

There is no way to differentiate BDM's with the same name and the Import will over write the old one. Not sure if it will ask confirmation or not.

ok I think I used the terms incorrectly, Im talking about the studio, from my understanding there is only 1 DBM right? and it consist of 1 or more Business Objects right? so let´s say I have different process that I´ve been working with and each process have its own Business Object that I created, so my problem is for example if I download an example process from the website it contains its own DBM and if I import it in my studio it replace my own DBM so I end up losing all my Business Objects, so my question is, is there a way to merge the Business Object from the imported process so I dont lose my other objects?

Thnx for your help.

This one is the BEST answer!

Hi,

You can have only one Business Data Model per Bonita BPM Studio repository.

Bonita BPM Studio Community Edition allow only one repository whereas Subscription edition support multiple repository. In Subscription edition you usually use the collaboration feature to share the repository content on a central server allowing multiple users to collaborate on a single BDM.

In community edition you will have to update manually the BDM to include the new objects using Studio user interface. A risky and not recommended alternative would be to merge manually the BDM definition file. This is an XML stored in a zip file that you can find both in workspace default repository and in the bos file.
