I would like to check why my process data values are not getting updated when I change my old process instance with new ID\_PROCESS. I am passing all data values again but it keeps failing to send parameters to my applications.

I have done like below

Create a new version of workflow which has few flow changes  
Update older version open process instances with new version process id in the database. I have updated below

update WFPROCESS\_INST set ID\_PROCESS=869  
where ID\_PROCESS\_INST=50129

WFACTIVITY\_INST SET ID\_Process=869  
WHere ID\_PRocess\_Inst=50129

Then complete the activity open for me. I get the failure on an application which looks for parameter values.

I wanted to know the best approach how to get the older open instances updated to new version of processes.
