Funny Workflow Versions

[Richard Marut]

Alon,
 
I was at a client last month who always checked the version before
proceeding. He used SWDD and would check the version being displayed and =
use
the pull down list to make sure that the latest version was selected. I
recall that there were 4 versions and his display would always show =
version
2. They are using Enterprise 4.7.
 
I tend to use PFTC just because that's what I've been using for over 7 =
years
and SWDD seems to be a little slow with execution.
 
Maybe there's a bug in SWDD.

Hmmm interesting but this scenario doesn't really apply to us for the
following reasons.
 
We develop in one client only . We do not hav a system A/Client 2 =
scenario.
Everythign transports to our QA environments from one system/client.
 
I am happy for our QA environments to create as many runtime versions =
(rtv)
as rquired. What worries me more is why in our QA environments I can see =
8
different run time versions but version 2 is the active one. I would =
have
assumed that version 8 (the latest one) is the active  one.=20
 
I  look forward to your suggestions.

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
