Migrating from Designer Versions Prior to 8.0.x

ActiveVOS Designer User’s Guide

There are a few changes to be aware of for new versions of ActiveVOS Designer.

Deployments from prior versions are shown as legacy contributions on the server. Although there is no change in how your processes run on the server, we highly recommend that you delete old BPRs and redeploy your processes and resources to take advantage of contribution features. See Converting Legacy Deployments to Contributions.
In the PDD, there are wording changes for Process Version details to match the new contribution states. Effective date is now Online date and Expiration date is now Offline date.
There is a new Swimlane annotation in the Process Editor’s tool palette (BPMN style only). To view this new Palette item, be sure to create a new workspace or delete your current Palette customization file.
You can no longer import a WSDL declaration into your BPEL from the file system. You must import the WSDL into your project or set project references to include another project. Existing file system declarations are converted to URLs.
The .avcconfig file for ActiveVOS Central has been updated, but older files are compatible with ActiveVOS Central. The new file allows for custom columns in ActiveVOS Central.
