Version Usage Best Practices

TIBCO recommends that you follow the guidelines in this topic for changing project versions.

  • Change qualifier to identify different builds.
  • Change micro to reflect and trace defect corrections, so that defect tracking can refer to the version correcting the defect.
  • Change the minor version to reflect any process logic change that has no impact on the interface, so that a client application using the process as a service does not see any difference.
  • Change the major version to reflect a change in the process interface.

See "WSDL Change Considerations for Application Upgrade" in TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Implementation for more information on what changes affect the process interface and what do not.
