Introduction

As mentioned in the release notes of Version https://itsense.atlassian.net/l/cp/ZyHi0rMm, we will no longer extend the functionality of the legacy workflows. The underlying technology, the Microsoft Workflow Foundation, does not receive strong support from the open source community and we therefore moved on to a newer framework, with more support. Still the existing Workflow Entry Points, and the existing Workflow Activities can still be used in upcoming releases. But there will be a point in time, where we will have to stop deploying those Workflow Entry Points and Activities.

So if you are configuring new workflows or are reworking existing ones, it’s a good practice to slowly transfer them to the NextGen-Workflows. This article aims to give you some guidance on how to achieve that.

Migration Path

Generally, we will provide you with the same Workflow Entry Points in the NextGen-Workflow Engine. So whenever you have the option to configure both a Legacy or a NextGen-Workflow, the NextGen-Workflows will be executed. You can still leave your Legacy Workflow there, in case you would like to fall back to the old configuration.

In version 7, not all Workflow Entry Points and Activities are present. We will add them continuously and update this documentation, so that you can keep track of all the changes.

If you start to design new workflows, you might also design them with the new workflow designer even tough, the Workflow Entry Point might not yet be available in your used version. Please check in with this guide to see if there are already planed entry points that have not yet released. If so, you could plan to that release and simply activate the workflow once the new version has deployed.
