Question:
Hi Gurus
For a workflow which is already in production, there are 15 versions in testing, 12 versions in Dev, and 10 vesrsions in Production. It seems this kind of thing happens because of transport issues.
Say if I would like to know 10th version in Production corresponds which version in Dev we need to go to wf builder, go to basic data, technical info tab and see the value in the original version. So thus we get the corresponding version in the Dev. Is this the correct way?
But I find in Dev also version and original version fields have different values. Why is this so, here at least they should be same because it is in Dev itself. Can anybody throw some light? I need to identify a version in Dev corresponding to the active version in Prod.

You are right. what SAP does is that when you transport a workflow or changes to it, it starts the version numbering from 1 in the target system. So there is no perfect way of establishing your version number across different environments.
What I have found useful is to delete the versions that you definitely don't want.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. I have taken over the workflow in this position from a consultant. Any suggestions would be appreciateh.

Hi Gurus
I have an issue like this.
Main workflow has say has 5 versions.
This workflow incudes 2 subworkflows each has 4 versions.
The present status in dev is all the latest versions are active.
But now If I want a combination of wf definition like this in Dev (by making the lower versions as active)
Main workflow version 4 as active.
subworkflow 1 version 3 acive.
subworkflow 2 version 2 active.
Now If I transport these workflows to test and then to production what is the implication?
Is it necessary that before transporting only the latest version should be active in dev.. in which case I am proposing to genearate new versions with the desired old versions and then go for transportation.. Will this be OK?
Any one who has handled such kind of issues earlier will please throw some light?
Thanks.
Riphat.
