Workflow versions mismatch b/w development and production

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am working on workflow, I found a strange thing in my development system and production system.

Ie, Regarding the version... I am working on CRM 5.2 version.

In production the version are like below.

Production

Version Original version

0008 0000

0007 0000

0006 0000

0005 0000

0004 0000

0003 0000

0002 0000

0001 0000

0000 0000

Development system

Version Original version

0000 0000

When I copied the original workflow and generated versions, the versions are as below.

Copied Version

Version Original version

0002 0002

0001 0001

0000 0000

Now the problem is , I have to modify the original copy in development . But Due to the version's mismatch , I am not able to understand whether the development system is having same version as in production.

I have some questions on this.

1. Can I compare the version in development and production system

2. Now if i generate new version what would be the next version whether it is 0001, or 0009

3, How to get the active version as in production

Kindly request you to assist me to get the active version as in production, so that I can start the development .

With Regards,

Poornima.

Hello,

You could try exporting to XML and doing a text comparison.

I think you can try to do like this

1. Select the appropriate version from the drop downlist in SWDD txn and then try to activate it, I hope you might have missed to select the right version...

if you have done this, try to refresh the buffer from txn SWU_OBUF and refresh org environment

Hi All,

The Issue is solved, I had defined new task, after adding the method, I did not enable check box synchronized,

After enabling it, I was able to activate the workflow.

Thanks for your support

Whn you weren't able to activate, what message was it giving?

Hi,

If you generate a new version in development, this will mean that you will get a new version (surprisingly). So if you were in version 0003, the new version will be 0004 (again very surprising).

Let's say that your production is in version 0076. When you transport your changes to production, the production workflow will get version 0077.

Anyhow, even if you didn't generate new version in development but instead made changes to the current version, and then transport the changes to production, it will similarly get version number 0077.

=>Each time you transport changes to production (this applies to test system too), the system will generate a new version in the destination system.

I am not aware if there is any comparison tool. But the above explanation (with the help of workflow change data (use the hat button in SWDD)) should give you an idea about what is going on.

Regards,

Karri
