I've made a change to an existing application which has included a new CDT. I've added this CDT to the applications existing Data Store. I've also created an export file that includes the new CDT and the Data Store.

When I import the new CDT and updated Data Store to the live environment is there any impact of existing processes that may be referencing other CDTs that in that Data Store at precisely the time that I am doing the import, please?

Thanks

If this is a new CDT added to the datastore, existing processes won't be impacted because the CDTs that they were using will not create a new version. We add new entities/CDTs to our datastore frequently without issue. The only time you need to be concerned with running process instances is if you create a new version of a CDT used by that process.

However I would not recommend importing anything on a production environment while users are active in the system, this should always be scheduled for off-hours.
