Assets are not versioned separately but derive their version
from the hosting application’s version. When you create a version
of the application, it contains copies of all the assets from the
original version.
Note:
When creating an application version that will
host a process developed in LiveCycle ES (8.x), specify the application
version to be higher than the process version. For example, if the
process has three versions, 1.0, 1.1, and 1.3, the default version
of the application should be 1.4.
At run-time, the process version determines the run-time service
version. Incoming service requests use the highest version of the
service.
If your application contains a process that is used as a sub-process
in another application, the highest deployed version of this process
will be used. For example, application A has two versions deployed,
1.0 and 2.0. Application B uses the process from application A (called
procA
)
as a sub-process. At run time, application B runs procA from the
2.0 version of application A. Furthermore, if version 3.0 of application
A is deployed, new instances of application B runs this version of
the process. The currently running instances of application B continues running
version 2.0 of the process.
Note:
When invoking services programmatically, you
can optionally invoke a specific version of the service. Otherwise,
the highest deployed version is invoked.
When you create a new version of a process, update the following
elements manually:
-
After you have updated a new version of an application,
ensure that all processes and their sub-processes make reference
to the correct version. In some cases, subprocesses reference the
original version of the application and not the new version. To
update a reference, delete the icon for the subprocess from the
process diagram and add the correct subprocess. For more information,
see
Invoking subprocesses
.
-
An archiving operation that references a document in a local
application, if the operation was added using Archive Wizard. Creating
a new version of a process breaks this reference. Manually update
the reference in the operation properties.
Create a version of the application:
-
In the Applications
view, right-click the top-level application folder and select New
> Application Version.
-
In the Select The Application list, select the application
version to create a version from.
-
(Optional) Specify the Major and/or Minor Version numbers.
-
(Optional) In the Description box, type the text that describes
this version of the application.
Note:
Update the path
of a reference to a .swf file in the referencing application manually,
when you increment the source application version as the references
are not updated automatically. For example, myApplicationA/1.0 and
myApplicationB/1.0 are two applications. myApplicationB/1.0 references
a swf file, myApplicationA/1.0/swfTest.swf. Assume myApplicationA/1.0
is incremented to myApplication/1.1. It is observed in myApplicationB/1.0
that the path of the swf file is not updated and remains myApplicationA/1.0/swfTest.swf.
