AW: Funny Workflow Versions

[Schmidinger, Heinz (Unaxis IT BZ)]

Hi Alon,
 
the reason could be:
 
You are developing /desinging a WF-Def. in System A/Clt. 1. You are =
testing
your definition in Sys A /Clt. 2.
If you change the Definition and test it again, you get a new
runtime-version, if a Def is still active ...
 
So you can create new Defs-Versions in Sys A/clt. 1, in Clt.2 the
runtime-versions will be increased and so on.
 
Than you transport your defiitions to System B. The last active Version =
will
be transported (e.g. Version 6.) The first execution of the =
WF-Definition
will create rtv 1.
 
So you change your WF again in Sys A whith creation of new Versions =
twice,
you will have Version 8. IF this Version is transported to Sys B and
executed, it will be rtv 2.
 
Confusing ? me too.
 
regards an a nice day.
 
Heinz

Hi Richard,
 
Thanks for this. Its really quite scary for us as it doesn't give us =
any
confidence that when we rebuild a system (and we do it quite frequently =
in
our testing clients), the workflow will be 'ready to go'. We have quite =
a
few workflows and even more sub-workflows and they all seem to be =
displaying
different versions.
 
Would you say that this is a bug (having 8 versions and having version =
2 the
active one) ?
 
Regards,

Lon,
 
I had this happen one time back in 3.1H. I verified that the active =
version
was the actual the one right one and then I generated a new version. =
All was
okay after that.

In our testing environments we have some strange going-ons.... Was =
hoping
someone could shed some light on this.
 
When I display a workflow, I can see that it has 8 versions yet version =
2 is
the active one. How can that be? I thought SAP creates a new version =
when
there is a current instance of the currnet active version but how can =
it be
that there are 8 versions and version 2 is the active one.
 
Any thoughts/suggestions are welcome
