Change nested CDT version

oanas

Hello,

I have changed the data type for some columns in a nested CDT ( from text to CLOB), therefore the CDT version has changed for both nested and main CDTs. 

How would this affect the processes which were started before the change and have the old version of the CDT, taking into account that they also contain sub-processes which will start on the new version of the CDT?  Is there any chance that the process breaks if there are different versions of the same CDT?

Thank you.

    Hello,

    There are chances the process instance may break( even if not passed by reference), depending on
    1) The kind of changes done to the CDT
    2) The kind of operation done on the CDT in the long running process instance.

    Example, - If you remove an column or change the data type of a column from text to integer and in the process instance you are trying to access that removed column, then there would be a failure.

    But in your case, since CLOB can accept Text data, I think you should be good.
