The pipeline execution engine does its best to manage different changes, but there are some changes which can produce unexpected results.  Pausing the releases tied to the pipeline, and ensuring the stage you plan to change is not executing, may be safer where you are making more extensive changes.  

Safe Changes

  • Adding and or updating stages or steps/gates is safe.  

  • Re-sequencing or deleting any steps/gates that are not currently executing.

Changes that Require Awareness

  • Deleting stages or steps/gates that may be executing

  • Re-sequencing steps/gate or stages where the current step/gate is executing  


Note

If a currently executing step or stage is deleted, the execution will fail.  If the Snapshot still needs to be deployed to that stage (and it was not deleted), the stage can be replayed.
