Disabling, Deactivating and Deleting Flows (Magic xpi 4.9)
You can disable, enable, and deactivate individual flows within your Magic xpi project.
|
Disable
|
When you disable a flow, the flow is not executed when the project is deployed. At runtime, the Magic xpi Monitor displays a message indicating the flow is disabled.
To disable a flow, go to the flow's Properties pane and select No from the Enable property's drop-down list.
|
|
Enable
|
If a flow has previously been disabled, you can enable it by going to the flow's Properties pane and selecting Yes from the Enable property's drop-down list.
|
|
| The disabling and enabling of flows is managed in the Space. |
|
|
Inactive
|
You can improve the Checker's performance by marking a flow as inactive. The flow is then omitted from the Checker process, and also from the deployment process.
To mark a flow as inactive, go to the Solution Explorer, right-click the flow you want to deactivate, and then select Inactive from the shortcut menu.
To reactivate a flow that you previously marked as inactive, go to the Solution Explorer, right-click the flow you want to deactivate, and then select Active from the shortcut menu.
When a flow is inactive:
-
The  icon will be displayed next to the flow name in the Solution Explorer.
-
It will not be checked by the Checker.
-
It will not be part of the created deployment module.
-
Data Mapper steps will not be generated.
-
An error message will appear if another flow tries to call the inactive flow.

Delete
|
To delete a flow, go to the Solution Explorer, right-click the flow you want to delete, and then select Remove from the shortcut menu. Each business process must have at least one flow; therefore, you cannot delete the only remaining flow of a business process.
|
|
| Make sure that flows are not used by other flows before you attempt to delete them. You can do this by running the Find Reference utility. |
