Hello [mention:21a336bdd5144347b1c137879898902f:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,

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.

What kind of processes are we talking about here?

Are these waiting for user input?

How many instances are affected?

How many process models are affected?

What kind or errors have been fixed?

Are there active instances of various versions?

Do you have any experience in doing such a task?

Hi [mention:a11f77a729fb4db2af76b09948583328:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]

Please find the below information requested:

Are these waiting for user input? - Deprecated Plugin Send Http Request node is replaced with the latest integration object

How many instances are affected? - More than 500 instances are affected

How many process models are affected? - There is only one process model impacted in this change

What kind or errors have been fixed? - Since plugin is deprecated it is not unable to interact with external system

Are there active instances of various versions? - All the active instances are of same version which has the deprecated plugin that are impacted

Do you have any experience in doing such a task? - I previously didnt worked on process instance Upgrade.

Please let me know if any further information is needed.

Thanks in Advance

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.

There is an Upgrade Processes Smart Service available in this plugin: [mention:b6b87f7de65b4000bed4ca7d7842a532:f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07]

I would suggest that you read through the documentation posted by [mention:a11f77a729fb4db2af76b09948583328:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] before going through with it. Upgrading processes can be tricky.
