Hi,

I have a query..
We have a existing MQWF setup where, in a particular process flow we have a program activity been assigned to a role say X. We have done modifications to the process flow diagram in buildtime and have assigned the role Y to the same program activity (existing was X)

Now when we imported the changed FDL to runtime, the new processes created after the import are correctly getting assigned to role Y. But the existing activities that were running before the import of the changed FDL are still getting assigned to role X. Is there a mechanism wherein i can change the staff from X to Y for the older workitems. Another query is, i also need to change or transfer the workitems which are presently in role X to role Y.

One posssible solution is to Transfer the workitem using MQWF API's.
Is there any other way to do it???

Any inputs with this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Vishal Agrawal

This is working as designed. The entire instance is set in stone once it is created. So the older instances are not going to pick up the new role.

That is the only way to do it.

Jmac is right, u cant change running process instances...

How many those old process instances are there? If only couples of them...u might consider to create new process instances with same values, then delete those old ones....

I am not sure if u can tranfer workitem of old process instance to role defined in new process instance....since process instances are different.

I worked with one client who developed their own workflow system using C++....to make such changes, they have to create new instances to replace the old ones....same thing for MQWF.... It is a limitation for flexibility, but there is no better way to program it as far as I know....
