Workflows are deployed to Agents just once at design-time. At run-time, when the Agent receives orders for workflows some time in advance, e.g. a week ahead by the JS7 - Daily Plan Service, then it can execute them autonomously.
In case of a Controller outage
- Agents will continue to execute workflows for the scheduled date and time.
- the Agent's journal will grow. The journal holds execution results of workflows and order state transitions.
Depending on the load of workflows the journal files that are stored with the ./state directory can grow to some Gigabytes. There is no harm about this as long as sufficient storage is available.
When the connection between Controller and Agent becomes available then the Agent will report back order state transitions and execution results to the Controller and the Agent's journal will shrink.
