Hi,

sorry if this has been discussed before.
I am a beginner to Activiti and would like to upgrade an existing project from activiti 5.8 to activiti 5.12.
Could someone please advise me how to do it

There are two ways:

- You execute the upgrade DDL's. These ddl's are shipped with the Activiti distribution. Execute the DDL's from 5.8->5.9, and up til 5.11->5.12. Add the new activiti jar to your system.
- You use the automatic upgrade. Drop the new jar in your project and set dbSchemaUpdate to true. It will upgrade automatically.

Always try it out with a test database of course before applying it to production. Regular development practices of course 😉
