Transfer Orders

The operation is available with the Workflows view and can be applied in a situation when users find more than one version of the same workflow:

  • When modifying and deploying workflows then a new version of the workflow is created.
  • Orders that did not yet start and that hold the PENDING or SCHEDULED state can make use of the new workflow version.
  • Orders that have started and that hold any other state will remain with the previous workflow version. The reason being that changes to the workflow can disrupt orders that have been added to a previous version of the workflow. For example, if certain jobs or instructions have been added before the order's current position in the workflow, then this will break execution of an exiting order.

The operation to transfer orders is available for previous workflow versions and includes to transfer all orders to the latest version of the workflow.

  • The latest version of the workflow currently is not assigned any orders.

The previous version of the workflow offers the "Transfer Orders to latest Version" action menu item like this:

As a result of the transfer operation users find all orders assigned the latest workflow version. The previous workflow version disappears as it is no longer needed with all orders being transferred.

  • If orders are in the IN PROGRESS, RUNNING or BLOCKED state then this cannot work.  
  • If orders are in the WAITING state then it depends on what orders are waiting for:

Bulk Operations

The Workflows view displays a maximum of three orders for each workflow. The overall number of orders available for the workflow is displayed by the grey order indicator:
