  • Version handling in Workflow Foundation 4

    When comparing workflow engines, versionning is a key aspect to take into account. If you are going to implement a workflow based solution, before committing to a platform you need to know what level of support does the engine provide to manage changes throughout the lifecycle of a workflow, you need to know what's going to happen to all the active workflow instances deployed on live once you've made a change on the flow of activities. Will the running instances still run after the new deploy, will they take the changes into account or will they run according to the version of the flow they were deployed with? If not what will my migration strategy be then?
