Speaking about this, I've just put an instance replayer code here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODE-483 I think it's quite good way of handling migration to a newer version of process. So Fernando, you could take a look at it and maybe use it as some source of your work or at least some inspiration. The good thing about it is that it will go (in similar shape to production), so it's like a needed feature. Regards, -- Rafał Rusin www.mimuw.edu.pl/~rrusin
