Author Update long running transaction in production system

Hi All,

Just want to get some insight on how people are updating their long running
orchestration in production system. Say I've got an orchestration that can
take 2 weeks to run, if I need that change it because of a process change,
what happens to all those in flight orchestration? I need to kill all
running instance to deploy the new orchestration assembly.

So the simple way thing to do is avoid long running transaction or break
them out into smaller orchestrations. Just want to know how do you tackle
your production orchestration update?



Regards,

Eddie

Hi Eddie,

This is a pain for all kind of application development involving
long-running transactions(LRTs). If it's still in software
testing/debugging stage, terminating running processes to make
changes is acceptable. However for a production environment, you
should prevent changing the code anymore. For new released version
must be deployed, check HAT first to make sure there is no active or
pending instances in dehydrated state before shutdown everything.

Thanks.

Best regards,
