Hoping someone here has done something of this sort before, and can provide some sanity check or advice
Usecase: I need to rename 2 variables in a procedure. They have values, and are currently used on timers (and have corresponding eWait entries).
Problem: Metastorm doesn’t let you “rename”. If you rename a variable in the procedure, it just creates a new column in the DB, with default NULL for all old folders on that new column
What I’m considering:
- Rename the variables, change the timers to reference the new variables, change all scripts to reference the new variables
- After procedure publish, run an SQL statement to copy the old variables values over to the new one – so any processes in flight don’t fail
- Verify eWait entries before and after publish to make sure it didn’t change
What I’m not sure of (metastorm behavior):
- Will metastorm update eWait entries on publish because I updated the variable (unlikely)
- Will metastorm kick up some new “feature” due to the rename
- Am I missing anything else?
