Process Author: Removal of module with a Process running

Question

Hi all.

Ok, this is the scenario:

Ent 7.7.
A custom module (Fix 1.0) is installed.
A process made in Process Author (Advanced Workflow) based on the Fix 1.0 module (all new records with status x is the criteria of the workflow, then each records has a waiting period of 3 months before actions xyz is done and the process terminated).
Fix 1.0 is uninstalled but tables not deleted.

The question: Will the processes continue to run for those records already in the process (i.e. the records that were already starting the waiting period and then actions xyz) despite module Fix 1.0 was uninstalled?

The idea is (if the nothing brakes in the above scenario) is then to install an updated version of the module (Fix 2.0) and make a new process for it that new records from then on would be processed by.

Thanks,

KGM

A slight correction as I ran another quick test: In my tests, the time period had already passed when I triggered cron... If the time period has not passed, when you reinstall the custom module, the processes will still show as "In Progress" and will trigger when the the time is reached. So, based on my research, it looks like the following 2 outcomes will occur: For records where wait events have already been reached, they will show as "Completed" but not trigger. For records where wait events have not been reached, they will show as "In Progress" and will trigger. Lori
