What can happen if you delete an in-progress processing profile?

When an in-progress processing profile is deleted, the processing job continues to run with the original profile settings. This means that although you've removed the profile from the system, the job that is currently using that profile does not stop or fail; it maintains its operation based on the settings that were established prior to the deletion. This allows for uninterrupted processing, ensuring that documents are still being handled according to the parameters that were set at the beginning of the job.

The notion that the job will automatically restart or fail immediately does not accurately reflect the behavior of the system when a profile is deleted in-progress. Instead, the job relies on the initial configuration, enabling it to maintain continuity in processing documents regardless of subsequent changes to the available profiles. The original settings thus play a crucial role in driving the completion of the task without disruption, which is key to effective data management in systems like Relativity.
