BPM lifecycle for ARIS models in IBM Business Process Manager V8.0, Part 2: Merging a newly imported process version with an executable one

This two-part article series focuses on a practical approach for a standard-based, cross-tooling, and cross-vendor business process management lifecycle that implements ARIS Event-driven Process Chains (EPC) models in the IBM Business Process Manager suite, as they were created within its own repository. Part 1 describes two ways of importing process models from ARIS into IBM BPM Process Designer via a standard BPMN2.0 import as as well as in the ARIS XML format. Part 2 shows how to merge a newly imported ARIS model version with the already extended and executed process in Process Designer.
