Activating and deactivating LiveCycle ES (8.x) processes

When you deploy an application that contains a process, the process becomes a run time service that is active and ready to be used with client applications such as Workspace or other processes. (See Deploying applications .)

A process can have multiple active process versions associated with the deployed versions of the application. If you activate a more recent process version, subsequent new process instances will use the most recent version. For example, if you activate process version 1.0 and then activate 2.0, version 2.0 will be used to create new process instances. However, if you activate process version 2.0 and then activate 1.0, process version 2.0 will still be used to create new process instances.

You can invoke specific process versions only by using the AEM forms SDK.

Although you can modify an active process, remember that changes can cause running process instances to stall. You must restart the process instances by using forms workflow from Administration Console. (See AEM forms administration help .)

Deactivate processes to make them unavailable to other processes and client applications for invoking new process instances.

Wichtig: Deactivating a process that has outstanding process instances causes the process instances to stall.

Deactivate a process:

In the Processes view, right-click the process version and select Deactivate.

Activate a process:

In the Processes view, right-click the process version and select Activate.
