Table 1-5
Process for installing Workflow 7.0 (continued)
Description Action Step
Run the Workflow installer to install
Workflow on your local computer.
There is only one installer for all the
pieces of Workflow.
See “Installing Workflow Server”
on page 27.
See “Installing Workflow Designer”
on page 29.
Install Workflow Step 3
Upgrading from Workflow 6.5
Refer to the following steps if you are upgrading Workflow 6.5 to Workflow 7.0.
If you are installing Workflow for the first time, see the following section:
See “Installing Workflow for the first time” on page 14.
You can disrupt currently-running Workflow 6.5 processes by installing Workflow
7.0 if you do not keep the same persistence settings. Ideally, you should use the
same persistence settings for Workflow 7.0 that you used for Workflow 6.5. During
installation you can set the persistence setting for Workflow 7.0. If the persistence
setting in Workflow 6.5 is not supported in Workflow 7.0, version your projects
so you do not overwrite the currently-running processes.
See “Versioning a process” on page 19.
If you do not know what persistence settings your current version of Workflow
is using, refer to the following section:
See “Determining a project's persistence setting” on page 17.
Symantec recommends using the following steps to upgrade your
currently-running processes from Workflow 6.5 to Workflow 7.0:
