Upgrading an Application Using a Deployment Server

If you are using a deployment server, the Upgrade Existing Application checkbox on the Administrator Setup dialog of the DAA Deployment Wizard is enabled. Select or clear this checkbox to choose the desired application upgrade behavior, as shown in the following table. (By default, the checkbox is selected).

See Administrator Setup.

Upgrade Existing Application Behavior
Unselected
  • TIBCO Business Studio attempts a graceful undeployment of any application with the same name and waits for all the outstanding work items or process instances for the application to be completed.
  • The application state is updated to Preparing for Undeploy.
  • Graceful undeployment can be vetoed by the BPM runtime if there are outstanding work items or process instances.
  • In order to complete the deployment process, you must ensure that all the outstanding work items and process instances for the existing version of application are completed.
Selected
  • The application is deployed immediately and does not wait for any outstanding work items or process instances to be completed.
  • A new application template is created and used for any new work items or process instances created. However, outstanding work items or process instances continue to use the old application template.
  • When you upgrade an application template, a new application template version is deployed. However, the old application template is not deleted. If needed, you can configure your application to use the old application template from the Administrator UI.
