Problems updating processes

[SeanLapointe]

Hello,

I have spent the summer updating most of our processes from 8.2 to 9 (resetting the deployment ID and creating a new start point). This worked fine with all our short lived processes, but when the time came to do this to our long lived processes, I ran into some problems. The process upgraded fine; I can start a new process in my workspace and see it through to the end. However, when I try and move a process that was created with the older version of the longlived process it stalls when it gets to a spot where user interaction is needed. Is there a way to resolve this problem?

Here is the server log detailing the stall:

[Robert_Haché]

Hmmm, so let me see if I have this right.  You've imported an lc8 process into an lc9 application, after upgrading your server, and reset the deployment id and added a new Workspace startpoint.  Is that right?  Did you also replace the user services on your process?  The stack trace has errors coming from userservicev2 which is a new user service which would lead me to believe you also replaced your user services.

If that is the case I'm wondering why you modified the process after upgrading to lc9?  LC8 processes will continue to run in lc9 without any modifications.

You cannot use the Workspace startpoint with the old user services so I'm going to assume you replaced your user services as well (basically re-created your process with the LC9 services).  If that is what you did then, yes, you will run into problems with existing process instances.

Hope that helps,

Robert

[SeanLapointe]

Yes, what you typed is right. I did not replace the user services during this point, but they were replaced a while back when we first upgraded from version 8 to version 9. I had been using the processes with the updated user services for a year or so without issue. I was thinking that the stack trace was throwing up errors from userservicev2 because that was where the process stalled.

The reason I modified the processes was so I could create an LCA file (Adobe Enterprise Support always asks for one when I phone for help) and I was unable to export any of the processes that still had the old deployment ID. Maybe my problem is that I am not exporting my LCA the proper way? I right click the folder in WorkBench and choose Create LiveCycle Archive. Is there another way to do this?
