About workflow types in LiveCycle ES2.5

LiveCycle Workflow 7.x defined the asynchronous and transient workflows types. However, LiveCycle ES2.5 defines the long-lived and short-lived process types. When LiveCycle 7.x environments are upgraded, the processes that are based on LiveCycle 7.x workflows are given a type according to the following table.

Workflow type

Corresponding process type

Asynchronous

Long-lived

Transient

Short-lived

Furthermore, all short-lived processes are given an identification of -1. If your workflows used the process instance identification to differentiate between transient process instances, you need to modify the corresponding process so that it functions properly in the LiveCycle ES2.5 environment.

Note: Long-lived operations chained with short-lived processes are not supported in LiveCycle ES2.5.

For more information about the properties of different process types, see Short-lived processes and long-lived processes .
