This feature, together with the migration extension, aims to ease that pain. What Does the Migration Extension Offer? Before answering that, let’s have a look what Camunda already provides. As you know, Camunda BPM provides the ability to do a migration based on process definition mapping. Still, the migration plans can only be defined for deployed processes. This makes it hard to impossible to define a migration plan…
