    Question about process instance migration

    kmwen

      I have made two following process definition, the older named pd1, A->B->C, and instantiated as inscance1, the newer named pd2,  A->B.

       

      I'd like to know whether I can migrate the instance1 to the process definition pd2?

       

      thanks

          What version of jBPM are you talking about?

              check out org.jbpm.test.migration.InstanceMigratorTest

              something like:

                [...]

                <migrate-instances>
                      <activity-mapping old-name='C' new-name='B'/>
                 </migrate-instances>

                [...]

               

              in your pd2 process definition should do the trick

                thanks, michael,

                it works, if i deploy new process definition from the same .xml file with different version as following:

                 

                ProcessDefinition pd1 = deployProcessDefinitionFromClasspath("org/jbpm/testMigration/a.jpdl.xml"); 
                  ProcessInstance pi1 = startAndSignal(pd1, "aa");
                  ProcessInstance pi2 = startAndSignal(pd1,"b");
                  ProcessInstance pi3 = startAndSignal(pd1,"c");
                 
                  assertTrue(pi3.isActive("c"));
                 
                  // here get new process definition
                  ProcessDefinition pd2 = deployProcessDefinitionFromClasspath("org/jbpm/testMigration/a.jpdl.xml");
                  assertEquals(pd2.getId(),"a-2");
                  pi3 = executionService.findProcessInstanceById(pi3.getId());
                  assertEquals(pd2.getId(),pi3.getProcessDefinitionId());
                 
                  // here the instances of the previously deployed process definition
                  //that are waiting in node "c" will be placed in the node "b".
                  assertTrue(pi3.isActive("b"));

                __________________________________________________________________________________________

                I have wrote following code, but it's failed. I want to get the new definition from another process .xml file.

                 

                  ProcessDefinition pd1 = deployProcessDefinitionFromClasspath("org/jbpm/testMigration/a.jpdl.xml"); 
                  ProcessInstance pi1 = startAndSignal(pd1, "aa");
                  ProcessInstance pi2 = startAndSignal(pd1,"b");
                ProcessInstance pi3 = startAndSignal(pd1,"c");
                 
                  assertTrue(pi3.isActive("c"));
                 
                  // here get new process definition
                  final ProcessDefinition pd2 = deployProcessDefinitionFromClasspath("org/jbpm/testMigration/a1.jpdl.xml");

                  final ProcessInstance pi = pi3;

                  processEngine.execute(new Command() {
                          
                   public Object execute(Environment env) {
                                new DefaultMigrationHandler().migrateInstance(pd2,
                                    pi, new MigrationDescriptor());
                                env.get(Session.class).update(pi);
                                return null;
                            }

                  });
                  assertTrue(pi3.isActive("b"));
                  }

                the error comes out:"org.jbpm.api.JbpmException: the activity null could not be found in the new process definition."

                following is process definition .xml file:
