Modifying Process Templates in an already created project ar

Hi there,

If I'm creating a project area I have to choose a process template. If I now want to change the process template afterwards, I can only do that by copying and pasting the process configuration sources(as far I read in the help). But some code (i.e. in the server initiatialization) wont be interpreted again after saving and reloading. It only will be interpreted if I create a new project area!

Much more difficulties make the process iteration sources. I can only view them in the process templates view, but not not in the project area itself. So I cant change them in a running project area anyway.

Is there a workaround for manipulating and testing Configuration and Iteration Templates without creating a new project area every time?

I need that because im generating process templates myself and creating a new project area for every template is a bit unhandy during the developement.

I don't entirely understand your scenario, but I'll try to shed some
light on the situation.

What you're noticing is that process templates and project areas do not
use the same storage model. Process templates contain two XML documents
- the process specification and the process iterations. Project areas
only have one XML document - the process specification.

When you create a project area from a process template, the
specification XML is copied from the template to the project area. But a
project area's iterations are not stored as XML; instead the server
translates the iteration XML into modeled objects which are saved in the
repository.

Ok I see.

So what I'm doing is that im generating Process Configuration Templates and Iteration Templates with the RMC-RTC Bridge. So if I wanna test my newly exported templates, I have to create a new project area.

Is there a more handy workaround for it? So that I can reuse one single project area?

Not if you're changing the iteration structure.
