Upgrading existing default Workflow Process Definitions
If you are upgrading from a release earlier than SDL Tridion 2011, you must update any existing Page Process and Component Process, two Workflow Process Definitions that SDL Tridion creates whenever you create a Publication, that are in use. This is because SDL Tridion 2011 changed these items. You do this by opening each of these Processes in the Workflow Designer plug-in for Microsoft Visio, selecting the Activity called "Approve for Publish" and making its Approval Status empty (currently set to the value 'Default_Live').
Procedure
- Open each Page Process or Component Process in your Content Manager installation in Workflow Designer in turn.
- In the Page Process or Component Process you see, find the Workflow Activity called Approve for Publish and double-click it to edit it.
- Set Approval Status (now set to 'Default_Live') to an empty value.
- Save and close the Workflow Process Definition.
- Repeat these steps for all Page Process or Component Process items.
