Workflows - Making Changes with Pending System Jobs

[Dilmer Valecillos]

Guys,

This is probably a frequently asked question...

We've a workflow in our company currently published and with about 40
pending system jobs waiting for an action, what if a change needs to be make
to one of the notifications that are send out by the workflow and also the
pending system jobs haven't gotten to that stage?

1) Can we unpublish the workflow and not lose the existing pending jobs?
2) If 1 is true, making a change to a notification would take effect in the
pending system jobs if it hasn't gotten to that step?

Let me know We appreciate your support.

1) true, pending jobs carry on as they were
2) no, the started workflows carry on with the previous logic. The new
logic / notification details etc will only apply to new workflows
started after you publish the change.

In effect, every time you publish a workflow you are publishing a new
*version* of the definition, and each workflow which is running knows
whether it came from v1, v2, etc.

Hope this helps
