Hi,

 

We are migrating from 4.7 to 5.3 and we are deciding to built workflow from scratch in 5.3 version. I have few doubts on creating workflow from scratch as below:-

 

1) If we built workflow from scratch, guid for new worfklow will  be different from older version 4.7?

2) If we built workflow from scratch, what will happend with running instance in previous version if they are continue with new workflow?

Can any one did it previously and what others points to be consider and take care before developing workflow from scratch?

Please help me on this.

Hi  @BB33 ,


 


If you are rebuilding the process from scratch in the new Designer, it is deployed as a brand new workflow with a new Id.  There is currently no out-of-the-box solution that allows you to migrate instances from one workflow to another. You can still edit your 4.7 based workflows in the legacy designers and all existing instances will continue to run just fine after upgrading to 5.3. Please see the following documentation (under 'Designing Workflows'): https://help.k2.com/kb002045.

Hi bhushanborole


 


Take note of the following before you upgrade:





Q: If I upgrade to K2 Five, will I be able to edit or create new v4-based workflows using the 4.7 designers?
A: Yes.


Q: If I upgrade to K2 Five, will my 4.7 based workflows continue to work?
A: Yes, except for K2.net 2003 workflows.  All workflows continue to run and new instances can be started. You can maintain those 4.7 based workflows using the 4.7 designers and the workflows are supported.


Q: If I upgrade to K2 Five, will I be able to open 4.7-based workflows in the new v5-based workflow designer?
A: No. You can open 4.7-based workflows in the designer in which they were built,  i.e. K2 Studio, K2 for Visual Studio, or K2 Workflow Designer (Silverlight)


Q: Can I import or migrate my 4.7-based workflows to the new K2 Five workflow designer?
A: No. You must use the designer in which you created the workflows to maintain them.
 
Q: Are there any updates to the 4.7 based designers?
A: No.  If you upgrade to K2 Five, K2 Studio and K2 for Visual Studio remain installed and are supported for bug fixes, but no new features have been added.
