Localizing or unlocalizing Process Definitions

If so authorized, you can localize or unlocalize a Workflow Process Definition when you open it. However, you can only localize or unlocalize a Process Definition in a Child publication if no Workflow Processes are running in that Publication or in any of its Child Publications where the Process Definition is shared.

For example, the following image shows a BluePrint structure in which a Process Definition is created in Publication A and localized in publication C. Publication C has A and B as its parent publications with priorities 1 and 2 respectively:

  • You can only localize a Process Definition in Publication B if there are no running workflow instances of the Process Definition in Publications B and D (workflow instances in other Publications are not affected by changes to the Process Definition in Publication B)
  • If you have localized a Process Definition in Publication B, you can only unlocalize it if there are no running workflow instances of the Process Definition in Publications C and D.
