+
+ Lifecycle state of the object. This property defines whether the
+ object represents a draft, proposed definition, whether it is active,
+ deprecated, and so on.
+
+
+ There are few pre-defined lifecycle states. But custom lifecycle states
+ may also be defined. Pre-defined lifecycle states are:
+
+
+ - draft: Definition of the new object in progress. The object is
+ NOT active. The definition may change at any moment. It is
+ not ready yet.
+ - proposed: Definition of a new object is ready for use, but there
+ is still a review process to be applied (e.g. approval).
+ The object is NOT active. However the definition should
+ not change in this state.
+ - active: Active and working definition. Ready to be used without
+ any unusual limitations.
+ - deprecated: Active definition which is being phased out. The
+ definition is still fully operational. But it should not
+ be used for new assignments. E.g. it should not be requested,
+ it should not be approved, etc.
+ - archived: Inactive historical definition. It is no longer used.
+ It is maintained only for historical, auditing and
+ sentimental reasons.
+ - failed: Unexpected error has occured during object lifecycle. Result
+ of that event is that the object is rendered inactive.
+ The situation cannot be automatically remedied. Manual action
+ is needed.
