> #### 4.3.4 Working with Process Definition Packages

> Complex Interstage BPM process definitions often include other components that can be used for connecting to external systems or advanced programming. The XPDL version of a process definition does not contain all of these other components; so simply importing one of these process definitions from XPDL will not provide you with the full function intended by the process definition designer.

> A process definition package is designed to contain these other components with the XPDL file. A process definition designer can export all these components as a package, so users can import them and have a fully functional process definition no matter how complex the implementation. Packaging allows for more effective sharing of Interstage BPM workflows therefore increased production.
