Why Joget Increment Process ID with Every Deploy?

Confluence User - 03 Apr, 2018

We have an issue with process/start/(*:processDefId) web API endpoint. The endpoint requires processDefId. processDefId includes process version -- for example, expense-claim#1#process-name. Process version is incremented with every deploy.

We have a couple of systems that make use of that endpoint, and I need a proper way to update process design without incrementing its version.

Any thoughts?

process;process-design;process-id;deploy

I came across the same issue but wasn’t able to find a solution other than a workaround to determine the defid. Would be great if the url had „latest“ instead of a number as an option.

Hi Eric,

You can actually use the keyword "latest" to replace the numeric value for process version. This will automatically obtain the latest published process version.

curl --request POST --url 'http://localhost:8080/jw/web/json/workflow/process/start/expenseclaim:latest:process1?j_username=cat&j_password=password'

Hi Hugo, That’s amazing - I should have just tried it I guess. Is it part of the knowledge base? Might be good to add in the docs if it’s not already there. Cheers, Eric

Hi Mustapha,

Please see Version Control#UpdatingProcessVersion. Process version will change on every process design update.

Hi Eric, Yes, I have just updated https://dev.joget.org/community/display/KBv6/JSON+API#JSONAPI-web/json/workflow/process/start/(*:processDefId) Thanks.
