[Anthill-pro] Deactivate WF

[Yanko, Curtis]

More thoughts on WF's, triggers and quiet periods
 
We are seeing a situation where We have a project with a our standard 3
minute quite period and approximately 8 minute build time. I think as a
byproduct of your file locking approach (or maybe it is just SVN in this
case) we have a situation were a trigger that comes in after the quiet
period but during a build, fails.
 
So lets say BL #1 is running, #2 triggers and fails then #1 finishes
having succeeded. This is confusing to the consumer since BL2 fails
prior to BL1 success and we have are left with a change in the system
that didn't get built from the failed BL2.
 
Perhaps an internal lockable recourse to queue up build request. Once
released the WF could swallow up and subsequent triggers ad enter into a
quiet period where it would continue to swallow triggers and reset the
quiet period until it executes.

Subject: [Anthill-pro] Deactivate WF


Seems to me we need a way to de-activate a WF. We model WF's to Branches
within a project. Spinning up a new one is easy if we just copy and make
edits. But then when the branch goes idle we can only delete it?? I'd
like to be able to de-activate it so we can resurrect it if needed but
also so we are only presenting active branches to team members. The
ability to hide/show deactivated WF's would then also be helpful so our
team members with elevated permissions can resurrect a WF if needed.
 
When copying WF's we really need the security permissions preserved too.
Otherwise the same people I have enabled to do the copy and edits cannot
then actually run it! Thus killing my self-service model for Branch
support.
