Can a BMP have multiple Draft versions?

[Dave Woodhead]

Hi,

I'm part way through re-designing a BPM but can't complete the work as I'm still waiting on direction from the business. In the meantime I've been asked to make another minor adjustment to the same BPM, but can't amend and publish the Draft version as it includes partly-built functionality.

Can I have multiple Draft versions of a BPM, i.e. use "Copy to Draft" to get a draft copy of the active version which I can then amend and publish, and then apply the same change to my part-built new version?

I don't want to wipe out the part-built changes I have in place in the current "draft" version if using "copy to draft" would overwrite them. I guess I could download the current draft as a process definition file, then re-import it after applying the "minor" amendment to the live version, but I've not dabbled with process definition files before.

Thanks,

Dave

No.

You could, but I think that would be overkill in this case - just copy the process from the list, and give it a suitable name:

Once you've done that you can either make the minor adjustment to the the new Process then assign it to the active Service/CI, or if it's more convenient, make the minor adjustment to the existing Process and republish it, using the copy as the development draft.
