Migrate users to new workflow definition

[Edwin van der Elst <ed...@finalist.com>]

Hi all,

If I understand correctly, workflow definitions are versioned and a new workflow is only used for new users. 

I want to modify the workflow in Syncope and use this new workflow for existing users.
Has anyone tried this before? I don't want to recreate all the existing users (most are 'active' or 'suspended', states that still exists in the new workflow).

I am using the default setup, with Activitii as the workflow engine. 

Best regards,

Hi Edwin,
I have no enough spare cycles to take a look in detail at this specific 
question before next week, however I can tell you in advance that what 
you are asking for is actually possible, even though it requires some 
"dirt" tweaks in Activiti SQL tables.

If you want to take a look in the meanwhile, go examining ACT_* tables 
on Syncope internal storage and how their content is varying when users 
go through workflow.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
