Quite often, within an organization, some internal or external changes prompt for changes in a process. For example, if a corporate office is moved, then the return address for all outgoing mails changes. In such a situation, it becomes necessary to replace the existing process by a modified process. Typically, this calls for versioning, as explained in
Processtemplate versioning. However, when the older versions need not be maintained, the installed process can be directly replaced, with the running process instances adapting seamlessly to the new process.
