Limitations to Process Definition Upgrade

A primary goal of CA Process Automation upgrades is that existing content continues to behave identically to previous versions to preserve your investment in existing processes. Exceptions such as retired functionality are rare and carefully considered.

However, the following minor differences exist because of current implementation limitations:

Some link customizations do not translate.

Most customized link attributes translate to the new Process Designer, with the following exceptions:

• Links defined with styles other than "solid" display as "dashed"
• Links defined with the “curved” shape display as “orthogonal”

This limitation only affects how links are displayed, and does not affect link operation.

Processes upgraded or imported from previous releases do not allow design-time browsing of output parameters.

Design-time generation of output variables is a CA Process Automation v4.0 feature and is available only for new processes. This limitation does not affect run-time function of the processes, but prevents users from previewing output variables.

Custom Icons do not display.

Custom Icons that were developed before CA Process Automation v4.0 do not display in CA Process Automation v4.0. Instead, operators and custom operators display the default CA Process Automation v4.0 icon for the base operator.
