Upgrading Data Type of Active Processes

aksharc

We are on 17.1 Cloud.

We have a process model M (Main Process Model), which calls another process model S (Sub Process Model). Now, we had to modify a data type (Custom Data Type) of one of the parameters of process model S. Of course, there would be corresponding change in the main process model M. After the changes, new processes would work fine. But, for any processes initiated before we made changes will face issue of type mismatch when S will be called from M. So, to counter that, is there a way I can modify the custom data type of existing processes?

I hope there is a way or a solution of making Custom Data Type backward compatible.

Thanks in advance!

    Thanks @enb and @shivamg for the reply. What I did was, I added few more fields to the Custom Data Type (name: DD5). Now, for older processes of process model M, when the subprocess (S) is called, the process fails there, and in the Alerts, following message show up.

    "The sub-process could not be started because the input mapping contained process parameters with incorrect types."

    I hope this helps.
