Updating the process flow version deployed in a virtual environment
Introduction
Having deployed a process flow to a virtual environment for the first time, any subsequent updates must go through an update cycle, where:
Changes to the master process flow are made in a
draft
version.The updated
draft
flow version is tested against the required virtual environments.Existing deployments of this process flow are deleted from all virtual environments.
The updated
draft
flow version is deployed.
Different deployment approaches for process flow updates
The approach you take to deploy an updated process flow to virtual environments depends on how many process flows / virtual environments are being updated:
Updating one or two process flows in one or two virtual environments
With just one or two process flows in a couple of virtual environments, it's reasonably efficient to delete existing flow versions from virtual environments and then deploy the updated process flow version(s) individually.

Updating multiple process flows in multiple virtual environments
If you need to update more than a couple of flows in different virtual environments, it's more efficient to deploy your process flow updates via a package. A package is a collection of process flow versions, which can be deployed to a virtual environment in a single operation.
When a package is deployed to a virtual environment, any existing versions of packaged process flows are overwritten - there's no need to delete them first.
