Migrate Process Instance

API Type

REST

HTTP Method

POST

Description

Migrates process instances from one version to another version (called process migration).

Good to Know

It is required to provide Migration instruction with details of a list of activities.
It is required to suspend a process instance before migrating.
To call this method, the API account user must have the access right, Cancel a Process.
Once the migration is successful, it is required to call the method Suspend and Resume a Process, so that the process instance resumes with the newer version.
This method is provided for reference for very advanced users — mainly internal AgilePoint teams. If you need help with this method, contact AgilePoint Professional Services.
