There is an Upgrade Processes Smart Service available in this plugin: Process Management Services

I would suggest that you read through the documentation posted by Stefan Helzle before going through with it. Upgrading processes can be tricky.

[quote userid="219326" url="~/discussions/f/process/34487/upgrade-old-process-instances-to-latest-published-version/131924"]What kind or errors have been fixed? - Since plugin is deprecated it is not unable to interact with external system[/quote]

I think you meant "... is not able to ..."? Why is that? What is the background of this change.

Did you read the documentation? https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.1/Process_Upgrade.html

Is there any logic in that process that modified data before that plugin node? If yes, you might not be able to restart the whole process instance, but would have to modify/upgrade instances and then restart that plugin node.

Hello krishnad5242 ,

That will not be reflected in the existing Instance. It would only be effective for the newly launched instances. You will have to manually edit those instances from the instances designer. At least this is the way i am aware of.
