Postupgrade Tasks for Siebel Workflow

---

Perform the following postupgrade steps after a successful upgrade of Siebel Workflow to Release 7.5.

Updating Inbound Workflows

• Change inbound workflows that contain a "String" type process property to pass the value into type Binary; otherwise, the workflow presents the following error message:

  Output argument '<Value>' in step 'Read from File' contains data that cannot be passed to string type property 'InputXML'. Data type: 'MEMBLOCK'; String representation of data body: '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><?'

• After an upgrade from Release 6.x to 7.5, manually change the name of the "EAI MQSeries Transport" business service to the name "EAI MQ Series Server Transport"; otherwise, the workflow presents the following error message:

  [1] Unable to create the Business Service 'EAI MQSeries Transport'
[2] Could not find 'Class' named 'EAI MQSeries Transport'. This object is inactive or nonexistent.

Updating Seeded Workflows

NOTE:  If you are upgrading from Release 6.x, you do not need to perform this procedure.

During the upgrade from Release 7.x to Release 7.5, Release 7.x seeded workflows were replaced by Release 7.5 seeded workflows. Customizations to seeded workflows were saved and migrated, but you need to manually reimplement them in order for them to work properly. Nonseeded workflows were migrated as such, carrying over respective version numbers.

Seeded workflows have inactive status and version 0. They cannot be modified.

To use a seeded workflow

• Revise and activate the workflow so that a new copy of the seeded process is created with the latest version number.

To incorporate prior customizations in the new seeded workflows

• Perform a manual three-way merge. That is, revise the seeded workflow (shipped as version 0), manually merge in your customizations, and then activate the workflow.
