Hi All,
If I change the design of a process while the process is executing , then will it impact on the running as well as the active instances of the process ?
For Ex: let say there are 10 instances of a process in active state. They are waiting for a client event to complete. In the meanwhile, I will be changing the process design and re-export the process once again.
What will happen to the already active 10 instances?
Pls guide.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Bob,
Many a thanks for replying.
Does it mean that even if I delete any activity and re-export , then for all the running instances to complete , the activity has to be finished ?
Pls guide.
Thanks and Regards

Yes, because the running instances are still executing on the previous definition. You re-export has absolutely no bearing on active instances.
Think of it this way...
Yesterday you exported process A for the first time, so it is version 1. 5 process instances started and are bound to version 1. All 5 instances are at various points throughout the process (i.e. all are currently still active) when today you make a change to process A in K2 Studio and re-export. Thus there is now a version 2 of Process A available for NEW process instances. 3 new instances are then started, which will use version 2. Thus at this point you have:
- 5 instances on version 1
- 3 instances on version 2
Remember an instance does not change process definition versions.
