Updating CDT within an existing application

hi all,

what it the best pratice of updating a CDT withing an exsiting application?

i'm doing an enhanement recently. some new fields are added into one CDT and related sail forms or dashboards are also changed.
it works well in new processes. however, when we open old process instances' forms or dashboards, it throws error, saying, eg, CDT_name^10 doesn't have this property.

Any help is appreciated.

  • Hi Eaglez,
    In order to update the CDT at all places you need to follow the below mentioned steps:
    1) Make sure all the process models and forms are closed(is not being used by any user's) otherwise it will not get updated successfully.
    2) Go to System tab-> Data Management->Data Types
    3) search for the CDT you have updated and check the box next to it.
    4)On the top a "Dependents" link gets visible.
    5)Click on the link, it will open a window for impact analysis.
    6) It will highlight the places where this CDT is being used and is not updated. If it is not updated in some places you will see an "Update" button at the bottom of the screen click on it and it will update all the places with the latest changes that has been made to the cdt.
