Synchronizing CSP Document Types and IS Document Types

Designing and Implementing Business Process Models : Implementing Content Service Platform for BPM : Synchronizing Document Types : Synchronizing CSP Document Types and IS Document Types

Because Content Service Platform (CSP) document types are converted into IS document types, you must be aware that any modification to either the CSP document type or to the IS document type will result in mis-matched (out of sync) documents.

After a CSP document type is imported and an IS document type is created from it, any modifications to the content or structure of the IS document type will cause it to be out of sync with the CSP document type from which it was created. When an instance of the CSP document type is received, it will no longer match the IS document type, and therefore will be unusable by the Process Engine.

The same situation will occur if you change the format of the CSP document type, and content objects arrive in the repository in the new format. The instances will no longer match the IS document type created from the initial CSP document type.

In both cases, you must delete the IS document type and the associated IS schemas. Then, recreate the IS document type from the latest version of the CSP document type.

If there are changes to the IS document type that will affect your process model (such as data structure changes), additional procedures are required. You must:

Delete the existing process model receive step that uses the IS document type.

Drag the recreated IS document type to the process canvas to create a new receive step in process model and configure the step accordingly.

Build and upload the process model.

Note:

Changes to field attributes in the CSP document type do not require these activities.
