When must processes be repackaged and redeployed?

Repackaging and redeploying processes in Boomi becomes necessary whenever one or more components referenced by the process are changed. This is because the integrity and functionality of the process are often reliant on the underlying components, such as connectors, data maps, or business rules. Any modification to these components can potentially impact how the process operates, and thus, the system needs to ensure that the process is updated to reflect these changes.

If the components are altered, it could lead to errors or unintended consequences during execution if the process retains a version that does not align with the changes made. Therefore, repackaging and redeploying is essential to confirm that the latest version of the components is integrated and that the process runs as intended with those updates in place.

In contrast, scenarios where there are no changes to components, where only minor bug fixes are made, or the switching of development teams do not necessarily warrant a full repackaging and redeployment unless they specifically involve changes to the components utilized within the process.
