<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi all</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm curious to see if any cunning work-arounds have been developed for the following example scenario: </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">* I have a workflow with a sub-flow. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">* This subflow is called some-way through the main-flow, and hence there can be several instances of the main-flow active that have not yet got so far as to call the sub-flow.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">* I would like to change the design of both the main-flow & sub-flow in some way, such that the new sub-flow design is reliant upon the change in the main-flow design (eg A step in the main-flow does something, a step in the sub-flow now expects that that something has been done).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">* If I release these two new workflows into production, there is the following risk:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">A workflow instance which began when the old design was active now reaches the subflow, but calls the *new* version. As described above, the subflow expects that the mainflow has completed something, but as the old design of the mainflow was being used, this is not correct. Errors will probably now occur.</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What would be great is if it were possible to associate subflow versions with mainflow versions so that we could effectively version up the package, rather than just the individual workflow templates. However, I'm not aware of this being available on any version.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any ideas? </FONT>
</P>
