## 5.6. Process lifecycle

A process has three states:

- active: this is the default state when a process is deployed. The process can create new instances, and running instances can finish their execution. Process web services are deployed and active.

- retired: The process cannot create new instances, but running instances can finish their execution. Process web services are deployed and active.

- undeployed: The process cannot create new instances. There are no more running instances. Process web services are not deployed (and disabled).

A process can change state from:

- active to retired

- retired to active

- active to undeployed

- retired to undeployed
