Process versioning in SMX/JBI

[Tammo van Lessen <tv...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,

I'm wondering how process versioning works in the JBI deployment. Do we 
support deploying a new version of the same process model (i.e. same 
QName) that retires the old one (i.e. running instances are completed 
using the old one and new process instances are instantiated using the 
new one)? How can I deploy the changed model? Should it be another 
service unit? Or the same service unit (afaik SMX has some versioning 
for SUs too).

Thanks,
   Tammo

They should be deployed in different service assemblies in order to have
independent deployment lifecycles.
(If that doesn't work, we're looking at either a bug or a design issue)
