Upgrading flows

Periodically, BMC upgrades the flows in the source catalog of  BMC Helix Integration Studio. As the BMC Helix Integration Studio administrator or end user, you can then upgrade your personal flows to incorporate the enhancements. To decide whether the upgrade is needed, you can first compare your existing personal flows with the new catalog flows.

The personal flows that can be upgraded are marked with the Upgrade available icon, as shown in the following illustration:
