Manages IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW) Process App and Toolkit version lifecycle via the Operations REST API — handles state-changing operations including installing applications, managing snapshots (activating, deactivating, deleting), and reading, setting, or synchronizing environment variables — no Process Admin Console needed. Use when a BAW administrator wants to perform lifecycle actions or state changes. Do NOT use for read-only queries, including snapshot metadata, process-app…
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
# Version Lifecycle Manager Manage IBM BAW Process App and Toolkit version lifecycles using the BAW Operations REST API. This skill installs applications, activates, deactivates, and deletes snapshots, verifies snapshot state, and manages environment variables — all via documented public REST endpoints with no Process Admin Console required. > **Companion skill:** To inspect a snapshot's metadata (version name, status, creation date, dependencies) before taking a lifecycle action, use the `version-inspector` skill. The two skills are designed to work together — inspect first, act here. ## 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 credentials from `.env` automatically, and only prompt the user if a value is missing from that file. Do this once per session only. --- Before performing any operation: 1. Identify the **container** (Process App or Toolkit acronym/ID) and, where applicable, the **snapshot version** (snapshot acronym/ID). 2. State the **intended operation** clearly and explain its effect. …

How to install
mdr add ibmbpm/ibm-baw-skills-and-bob-modes/version-lifecycle-manager@sha256:780cb4409122e596The 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.
