sebastian.s Oct 22, 2009 8:19 AM (in response to sushantgupta402)To answer your question, vchira: He's the guy answering the biggest amount of questions in a competent and friendly way in this forum in his free time (!!).
Features only make it into the user guide if they are considered to be stable, in the dev guide if they are considered to have at least a certain level of stability which means they are not supposed to still change a lot (there exceptions of course).
For you both:
Looking trough the issue list to be fixed in jBPM 4.3 easily brings up this issue which was reopened:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-165

maybe i saw only a small selection of his posts..if so than i bag your pardon. Even the most friendly advice in the world can not compare with the official docu.
Why isn't anywhere documented if deploying with "overwrite" is possible and if not how could one migrate the old definition process instances to the new process definition?"sebastian.s" wrote:

i found that feature request too,but id doesn't mean anything as log as jBPM 4.3 is not available.. or does it? ;) -
5. Re: [JBPM4] Migration from one process definition version to
sebastian.s Oct 22, 2009 9:37 AM (in response to sushantgupta402)AFAIK it is documented that when you deploy new version of a process while the old ones remain useable in the system and existing process instances continue to use the old definition while newly started ones use the newone.
And it should also be documented that when you reference a process definition by its key always the newest one is used. -

I don't know. I saw you've replied on Caleb's post. I would be happy if he was finally in the position to contribute his solution and even happier if his solution or a different one would make it into jBPM 4.3.
Till now I was not aware that process instance versioning would be a topic for me, too. But infact there are use cases for which I would need this functionality. -

koen.aers Oct 22, 2009 10:17 AM (in response to sushantgupta402)As I said in the post on the developer's forum, there will be support for instance migration in the upcoming release. The solution is somewhat different from Caleb's solution for jBPM 3.x.

kukeltje Oct 22, 2009 5:29 PM (in response to sushantgupta402)For the record:
- I never said I was smart...
- I'd be more than happy to contribute documentation and more detailed answers. Just make sure €3000 is added to my account each month (taxes paid) and I'll even code for you.
- If there is no definite answer there probably was little.
- Peace... -

10. Re: [JBPM4] Migration from one process definition version to
sebastian.s Oct 27, 2009 3:10 PM (in response to sushantgupta402)I doubt that just changing the process definition works. There is already documentation on this feature checked into the trunk. So why don't checkout the documentation to find out? :)
From what I saw in the documentation there are 3 basic use cases right now.
