effectiveDate
is the date the new version becomes the current version and all new process instances run against it.
Depending on the disposition selected for running processes, some may continue to run until they finish using the older version. The effective date is an XML schema date/time value. The time expression includes a time zone, indicated as the midnight hour plus or minus the number of hours ahead of or behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for the computer’s time zone. In the example above, the computer time zone is Eastern Standard Time, which is five hours behind UTC. If you do not provide an effective date, it defaults to the date and time the process is deployed to the server.
expirationDate
is the date, beyond the online date, the current version expires.
An offline version is not capable of creating new process instances. Once all of the running processes tied to an offline pending version complete, the version becomes offline. All process instances for the current version run to completion. The expiration date is an XML schema date/time value. (Same as effective date). If you do not provide an expiration date, the version does not expire until you manually set it to offline in the
Application Integration Console
or until a newer version is deployed.
id
is the process version number in
major.minor
format.
You do not need to provide a version number as Process Server auto-increments new versions. The server increments a version number by dropping the minor value and adding 1 to the max number. For example, version 1.5 increments to version 2.0.
runningProcessDisposition
is the action Process Server takes on any other versions of the same process that currently have processes executing after this version’s effective date arrives.
Values for
runningProcessDisposition
are:
Maintain
. All process instances for the previous versions should run to completion. This is the default value.
Migrate
. All running process instances created by previous versions will have their state information migrated to use the newly deployed process definition once its effective date arrives. If there are incompatible changes between the versions, descriptive warning messages are written to the
Application Integration Console
Server Log. Refer to the
Migrating Running Processes when Warnings are Generated
for details.
Terminate
. Indicates that all process instances running under previous versions should terminate on the effective date of the new version, regardless of if the process instances are complete.
