Business Object Modification Best Practices

[BrandonBathalon]

Are there any best practices regarding modifying a previously built (by developer, not BP) Business Object? My assumption is that if a change being made does not alter the code itself, such as additional rows in an existing read stage and adding them to the output, that it should be acceptable. But what about when additional stages are being added for example?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Brandon,

I am thinking you are referring to modify VBOs which are used by Business Process already in production.

Theoretically, if the VBOs getting modified are the fundamental element (not calling other VBOs), as long as the Input parameters and Output parameters are correct and compliant to the original one, and the modified codes got all the required variables and parameters defined correctly locally, it is unlikely you will see problem from the calling process.

Hope I answered your question.
