By selecting a process instance in the window and opening it (double-click or
use the mouse popup menu), you can get the process instance’s activity list,
timer list, process attribute list, and so on. From these lists, in turn, you can get
information about the state of any activity, timer, or process attribute.
Performing Application Upgrades
If the process logic of a business process application changes, you might need to
upgrade process definitions, assignment rule dictionaries, user profiles, and
validations—and even client applications or application proxies—depending on
the type of change involved.
While properly specifying the upgrade of an iIS enterprise application is the
responsibility of an application system designer, it is helpful for a system manager
to understand the issues involved.
Under normal conditions, upgrading consists of registering new or updated
process definitions to accommodate changes in the business process. This type of
upgrade is straightforward.
In some situations, the new or updated process definitions might be based on new
or modified assignment rules. In that case a new or modified assignment rule
dictionary might have to be registered as well. (In some cases, you only have to
register new or modified assignment rule dictionaries because the process
definitions do not change.)
