Does anybody really use this product ?

Do you use it thru Holosofx or WBI ? or by itself ?

How do you care about process management ? versionning ?
How many designers do you have ?
What is your organization for the team : business analysts, designers, mq & j2ee&wmqintegrator developpers... ?
How do you update Staff ? What about passwords which users can change themselves in web client ? ...
How do you organize dev, test, prod environment ? transfers from one env. to another ?
Do you have naming objects advice to give...

I know, here are a lot of questions...

Basically your questions depend on the organization architecture and how large your implementation is

you can start with your department name followed by:
for production you can prefix with PROD or APD
for testing prefix with TST or SYS or DEV

You may start with the workflow best practices document.

Thanks for your answers. Here are some more precise things about which i would have your opinion :

Versionning : what do you keep in your versioning repository : one full run time fdl ? one fdl for topology, another for full staff, another one for each process & related objects... ?

Team : 14 guys only for workflow dev ? that's a nice workforce Are designers/business analysts part of IT ? How many processes do you ship to your business each month ? What is an average delay of delivery for a medium complexity process ? Which ratio for each dev phase ?

Staff : I well understood that fdl is the only way do do anything with MQ worfklow I wanted to know if you found one person responsible for manual staff maintenance ou automatically synchronised with an LDAP directory using runbr....

Environment : as I understand your answer, you use only one design db to store dev / test/prod "source" processes ! Tell me I'm wrong ! Isn't it a bit "risky". No, seriously ?

Naming conventions : (no relation with environments) I was curious about naming of categories, processes&related objects (programs, data structures)...

Sorry for being so precise, but I'm in the pool now

Keep one for Topology, one for staff and one for Processes (if you want a seperate FDL for each Process that is fine).

Processes for dev/test/prod should be the same, so you dont have to keep modyfying your Process definitions for each environment. You should be able to take a process from Dev and put into Prod with out any changes.
