Migrate IBM BAW or CP4BA Process Apps, toolkits, case solutions, and Business Applications from one environment to another, automatically resolving toolkit dependencies and determining the correct import order. Use when someone says "migrate my process app", "move my workflow to another environment", "export and import BAW projects", "copy my toolkit to production", "migrate between BAW servers", or "transfer my process application". Also use proactively when a user describes environment…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

> **⚠️ REST only. MCP is not supported by this skill.** All BAW interactions use the BAW REST API exclusively via HTTP calls. Do not call any MCP tools at any point, regardless of whether an MCP server is connected or not. This skill has no MCP dependency. If you find yourself reaching for an MCP tool, stop and use the REST equivalent from `references/baw-rest.md` instead.

# BAW export and import helper

Migrate IBM BAW or CP4BA Process Apps, toolkits, case solutions, and Business Applications between environments. The skill handles authentication, dependency discovery, correct import ordering, and produces a migration report using public BAW REST APIs.

## Execution mode

This skill operates in **REST mode only**. All calls use the BAW REST API documented in `references/baw-rest.md`.

---

## Credentials

Never prompt the user for credentials. Credentials are only needed when making a REST call.
When a REST call is about to be made, read `references/CREDENTIAL_HANDLING.md` and follow it — it will read source credentials from `.env` automatically. Do this once per session only.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ibmbpm/ibm-baw-skills-and-bob-modes/baw-export-import-helper@sha256:de201add29c8b41a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
