Hi everyone,

I’m currently working with ARIS Flows and have run into a challenge regarding versioning and instance management.

As we frequently update our workflow definitions and deploy new versions, we are left with "in-flight" (running) instances tied to the older versions. In many other BPMS platforms, there is usually a mechanism to migrate these active instances to the new definition (via automatic mapping or transition rules).

However, I cannot find documentation on how ARIS handles this specific scenario.

My specific questions are:

  • Is there a native function to migrate running instances to a new workflow version, or are they permanently pinned to the version they started on?
  • If migration is not supported, what is the recommended strategy? (e.g., "draining" old instances, version-parallelism, or specific API workarounds).
    Any documentation links or experiences you could share would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks!
