Everything irrespective to it being enabled or disabled are loaded onto the 
client.. Its the same case with filters which is why sometimes you are better 
off deleting these than keeping it..
 
HOWEVER, that can become a bit of a problem when you are maintaining various 
environments.. You cannot delete an AL or Filter on a dev server and have that 
change migrated to QA, UAT or prod environments automatically.. Hence it is 
good to disable them to facilitate these migrations..
 
On OTB systems, deleting them will not resolve anything after the application 
is upgraded as these will get written back to the system.. So it is almost a 
necessary evil on OTB systems to keep them in a disabled state. and have a def 
file of all disabled objects so that this def file can be imported after a 
application is upgraded..
 
If your system is fully home grown, you may have a better liberty of eventually 
deleting all disabled workflow to reduce overheads on bot the server and 
clients by deleting disabled Filters, Escalations and AL's..
 
One alternative could be to disable them, take a def of all the disabled 
workflow, and then delete so that this backup can be reimported after a 
application upgrade that might rewrite that same workflow in an enabled state.. 
Reimporting the disabled stuff will disable them again..

Subject: Active Links question

Hi All,

I have a couple of questions about active links. Might seem dumb but it might 
be the root of a performance issue.

When a form is displayed, the associated active links are loaded onto the 
client. True or false?

If so, are all active links (enabled and disabled)loaded or just those that are 
enabled?

ARS 6.3

Thanks
Mark
