Versioning a process
If you have a Workflow 6.5 project that uses a persistence setting that is not
supported in Workflow 7.0, version the project so you do not lose any process
data (such as tasks).Process versioning is handled in IIS. When you publish a
workflow project, a new virtual directory is created in IIS, unless one of the same
name already exists. If an identical one exists, the new process overwrites the
process already published there. A new virtual directory must be created to contain
the updated process while the old process is allowed to run in its virtual directory.
The following steps assume that you have a currently running process you are
replacing with an updated version.
Versioning works only with the Publish Application to Server" publishing option.
Because the other publishing options do not let you set the virtual directory name,
you cannot use versioning with them.
To version a process
1 In Workflow Designer, when you are ready to publish your updated process,
click File > Publish Project > Publish Application to Server.
2 In the Virtual Directory field, add the updated version number to the end of
the name of the virtual directory.
For example, if the old process is in a virtual directory called PurchaseOrder,"
call the new virtual directory PurchaseOrder2.0." If you publish without
changing the name of the virtual directory, your new process will completely
replace the old one and break any of its current instances.
3
Complete the publishing process as normal.
4 Repoint the invocation links to the virtual directory of the updated process.
In other words, whatever invoked the old process (such as Process Manager
service catalog item or external link) must be repointed to the new virtual
directory that contains the process.
5
After the old process has finished all activity, delete its virtual directory.
