Enables the webMethods Chem eStandards Module to manage your custom Chem eStandards process as distinct from the standard Chem eStandards process on which you based your customization.
After you create a custom Chem eStandards Process Archive based on a standard Chem eStandards process, you must, from that point on, manually keep the custom process in parallel with the standard process; for example, when new features are added to the process.
Enables you to send the custom Chem eStandards process to your trading partners (if they are also using the webMethods Chem eStandards Module).
Customizing and exporting a Chem eStandards Process Archive does not save any services or process models associated with that Chem eStandards process. Exporting a Chem eStandards Process Archive saves only the IS document types and TN XML document types associated with the Chem eStandards process (and only those IS document types and TN XML document types that are contained in the wm.b2b.chem.rec.payloads folder).
To save the services, you must create your own package on the Integration Server and place all of your services within that package. You can then manage that package, as required by your installation, including sending that package to your trading partners. To save the process model for the customized Chem eStandards process, you must use Designer.
Enables you to do your own version management on your customized Chem eStandards process.
