Remove deactivated or disabled customizations

Category: Maintainability, Supportability

Impact potential: Low

Symptoms

Deactivated or disabled customizations should be removed from a solution to improve solution management and to decrease the risk of utilizing or managing an outdated component.

Guidance

Ensure that each solution component that is deactivated, or disabled, has been done so intentionally. If so and will no longer be utilized, consider removing it from the solution to prevent confusion for users and system customizers. These components include:

  • SDK Message Processing Steps
  • Processes
  • Record Creation and Update Rules
  • SLAs

As well as table components such as:

  • Forms
  • Views
  • Business Rules

Deactivated Processes.
