You can set the redeploy to be true. But I generally don't recommend this for managed environments where you are deploying changes in a non development setting. I haven't been working with Activiti yet, but JBPM should be the same in that if you have this flag set to true, every time you load your repository it loads a new workflow definition automatically, which isn't very good.

Have a look at this link on how to manage your workflow definitions

Thanks for your reply.

If I set the <strong> redeploy= true </strong>, it will update the workflow definition whenever I restart the repository service and I don't want to do that.
Currently I'm using the workflow console to update the workflow definition and I want to avoid this manual process.

Please let me know, if there is any other option is available to update the existing workflow definition.

Thanks
