After you create a business process in an application group to show the flow through a real-world business scenario and track real-world data that moves through that flow, you can manage various aspects of that business process.

This guide shows how to perform the following tasks:

Edit the description for a business process.
Duplicate a business process by providing a new name.
Discard any pending or draft changes that you made to a deployed business process.
Undeploy a business process, which removes the deployment artifacts but preserves the business process.

Prerequisites

An Azure account and subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, sign up for a free Azure account.
An integration environment that contains an application group, which has at least the Standard logic app resources, workflows, and operations that you mapped to your business process stages
A business process that's either not deployed or deployed

Edit a business process description

In the Azure portal, find and open your integration environment.
On your integration environment menu, under Environment, select Applications.
On the Applications page, select the application group that has the business process that you want.
On the application group menu, under Business process tracking, select Business processes.
In the Business processes list, find the business process that you want.
In business process row, open the ellipses (...) menu, select Edit details.
In the Edit details pane, change the Description text to the version that you want, and select Save.

Duplicate a business process

The following steps copy an existing business process using a new name. The duplicate that you create remains in draft state until you deploy the duplicate version.

Note

If you have a deployed business process, and you have pending changes in draft state for that process, these steps duplicate the deployed version, not the draft version with pending changes.

In the Azure portal, find and open your integration environment.
On your integration environment menu, under Environment, select Applications.
On the Applications page, select the application group that has the business process that you want.
On the application group menu, under Business process tracking, select Business processes.
In the Business processes list, find the business process that you want.
In business process row, open the ellipses (...) menu, select Duplicate.
In the Duplicate pane, provide a name for the duplicate. You can't change this name later.
When you're done, select Duplicate.

Discard pending changes

The following steps remove any pending changes for a deployed business process, leaving the deployed version unchanged.

Note

To discard pending changes while the process designer is open, on the toolbar, select Discard changes.

In the Azure portal, find and open your integration environment.
On your integration environment menu, under Environment, select Applications.
On the Applications page, select the application group that has the business process that you want.
On the application group menu, under Business process tracking, select Business processes.
In the Business processes list, find the business process that you want.
In business process row, open the ellipses (...) menu, select Discard pending changes.
In the confirmation box, select Discard changes to confirm.

Undeploy a business process

The following steps remove only the deployment and tracking resources for a deployed business process. This action leaves the business process unchanged in the application group, but the process no longer captures and tracks data. Any previously captured data remains stored in your Azure Data Explorer database.

In the Azure portal, find and open your integration environment.
On your integration environment menu, under Environment, select Applications.
On the Applications page, select the application group that has the business process that you want.
On the application group menu, under Business process tracking, select Business processes.
In the Business processes list, find the business process that you want.
In business process row, open the ellipses (...) menu, select Undeploy.
in the confirmation box, select Undeploy to confirm.

Business process states

A business process exists in one of the following states:

State	Description
Draft	An unsaved or saved business process before deployment.
Deployed	A business process that's tracking data during workflow run time.
Deployed with pending changes	A business process that has both a deployed version and draft version with pending changes.
