Oracle BPM Enterprise allows you to export engine properties and import them to create another engine.
When you export an engine configuration, it is saved as an XML file. This file is saved as
your_engine_name
.engine.exp. You can edit this XML file manually to modify the engine configuration
before importing it using Process Administrator.
Some of the situations where exporting and importing an engine configuration include:
- Creating a backup of an engine configuration before making configuration changes.
- Creating a new engine with an identical configuration. This is useful if you need to recreate an engine in a different environment.
- Using the exported XML as input to Oracle BPM Ant tasks.
