<tt>Hi Sue,<br>
For something like this we would usually use parallel environments and use the CHARM transport process to sort it out.<br>
Essentially to control/automate the synchronization process as much as possible.<br>
This is one of those... "go talk to the basis guys" answers - sorry.<br>
Regards,<br>
Jocelyn<br>

<br>
Hi Sue, Gayathri,<br>
<br>
I do understand this dilemma – we go thru it every time we upgrade or apply major support packs. We get a ‘prime’ Dev environment in which we do production support, and then we get the upgrade environment in which we do enhancements. It’s a beast.<br>
<br>
I was not taking that – the ‘upgrade factor’ – into consideration. Call it selective amnesia.<br>
<br>
As far as I know copying the WFs and trying to keep both versions in sync is the only way to do this. Of course, in my own perfect little world (imaginary) we would not have to do this kind of thing :)<br>
<br>
Thanks for bringing me back to reality on a Friday,<br>
Sue<br>

<br>
Hi Sue,<br>
<br>
I can understand Gayathri’s issue.<br>
<br>
I’m currently working on a six month project that involves changes to the system done by another group, plus workflow changes to an existing workflow. While this six month project is going on we need to have a path to production to be able to send fixes (if they occur) for the existing workflow while we are in development on the project.<br>
<br>
The only way I knew to do that was to make a copy of the existing workflow in which I am making the project changes. If any fixes need to be done before the project goes to PRD, I’ll have to make changes in both workflows to keep everything in sync. It is challenging.<br>
<br>
There is no other way to do that, is there?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Sue<br>

<br>
Hi Gayathri,<br>
I would not try to simultaneously fix productive workflows and also do enhancements – unless you are planning on all of these corrections/enhancements going to the same place at the same time. Personally, I would fix the issue with production, transport up, and then generate a new version of the workflow in your Dev environment and begin the enhancements.<br>
<br>
Having said that, you could, of course, copy the productive workflow to another workflow template, allowing you to do the fixes in the original template, and the enhancements in the copied template. I would hate to have to coordinate that development effort though.<br>
<br>
Just my 2p,<br>
Sue<br>

HI experts,<br>
<br>
What is the best way to handle simultaneously fixes to a production workflow and also work on enhancements to the same workflow ?<br>
