morning 👋 - at what point (if any) should you remove a deprecated state machine process from the ACTIVE_PROCESSES list?

    we've found the Order Matrix very useful, but it becomes increasingly less useful as you get more deprecated processes

    (as an aside, we might try and aggregate orders by payment method rather than process)

    Hey Daniel! I would say when you’re sure that all orders with old state machine processes are finished (came to final state).

    and de-activating pre-maturely would mean that orders using that process would get stuck?

    Not really.

    As you remap your payment methods to new state machine process

    i mean, orders using the old one. i.e. is "active processes" just a display setting

    i don't think it is looking at the code, but might be wrong

    so if I have an order which is using OldProcess01, and it's half way through that process

    yes, but you need to be careful if you deleted some states

    or changed the flow completely

    i think you mean modifying an existing SM without rather than creating a new version?

    I mean if some of your order items were in deprecated state and in your new state machine you have deleted this state you might have a problems

    about the slow changes

    ah ok, i'm talking about replacing the process with a newer one, so older orders would follow the process that was active when they were created

    Imaging you had payment flow with only authorize call and now you have in new state machine pre-authorize - capture flow and item was somewhere in the middle. And now it will go through capture process that leads to exceptions

    Just be careful )

    but that's when you update an existing SM process without creating a new version or?

    Ah, yes it is.

    so older orders would follow the process that was active when they were created

    That’s correct

  • UKGT7RC7P

    so the question was really if you de-activate an old process, is it just that it's not shown in Zed, or will those orders stop being progressed?

    (the answer should in anycase probably be as you suggested initially 😄 to have at least visibulity of the older processes) - but then would be nice to have option on the order matrix to catregorize by payment method (or other things) rather than just the process name

    that sounds like a good feature request for https://spryker.ideas.aha.io/ 😉

    not really sure what my suggestion is exactly though, will create an idea when I've investigated more on our project
