Workflow update set migration use case - subflow dependency (failure) Edit and migrate an existing workflow from a test instance to a production instance that fails to run on the production instance because of a missing dependent subflow. User A selects Update Set C. User A checks out Workflow A. User A adds a subflow called Workflow B to Workflow A.Assume that Workflow B was previously published, but has not been migrated to the production instance. User A publishes Workflow A.A customer update set record is added to Update Set C containing an XML payload, including the published Workflow A and all activity dependencies. The XML payload also contains the workflow input variables associated with the workflow.Notably absent from Update Set C is the subflow called Workflow B. Workflow B was published before User A selected Update Set C.User A completes Update Set C and migrates it to the production instance.Update Set C commits with warnings.Workflow A is invoked on the production instance with the following results:Workflow A fails the runtime validation check and is prevented from running on the production system. The system adds to the workflow context a workflow log entry detailing the cause of the failure, notably the absence of a dependent workflow.To learn more about the validation checks on workflow dependencies and update sets see ValidateUpdateSetDependencies.
