By default in BPEL when we deploy new version of BPEL process then the new version becomes default one for that BPEL process. However, there are situations where we want to override this behavior like wanting to keep an working copy as default BPEL version and continue to deploy new versions with modification.
To achieve desired objective use the property ‘processDeployAsDefault’ in the domain configuration, which controls which revision will be the default revision. If set to "true" the most recently-deployed version of a process is always the default version. If set to "false" This means that the most recently deployed version of a process prior to setting this property to false remains the default version.
Please remember this is a”DOMAIN” level configuration so you have to do this exercise for every BPEL domain in question. All you have to do is to modify domain.xml file which is located at <ORACLE_HOME>\bpel\domains\<DOMAIN_NAME>\config\domain.xml and add below mentioned text anywhere within “bpel-domain-descriptor” element.
