How to Upgrade Existing Installation of Web-App with Process Engine

Process engine is (since VM 4.3 HF1) configured using the process engine configuration file, but some parameters remain in cxf-servlet.xml and web.xml.

  • Setup process engine configuration file
    • use default file and fix URL of node to reality
  • Use new web.xml and new cxf-servlet.xml
  • Set parameter value used in previous Valuemation version into corresponding parameter in new version, e.g.
    • cxf-servlet.xml: stepInMillis should be set in process engine configuration.json: stepInMillis
